First impressions: Everest Aura

I've given up on this one. Leaks too much and too noisy exhaust port. The only way I found to keep it from leaking (at least while I was falling asleep) was to actually hold it with my hand or bury my face partially into the pillow. If the tube that goes from top of head to the nostrils is bent inwards towards the face, it seems to seal well that way. Someone (RestedGal??)suggested using pantyhose to do the job! LOL Sorry I just can't bring myself to use those on my face. Hehe.

I've gone back to being so tired during the day I need/want to take a nap at lunch and go right to sleep when I get home. Some weight gain could be part of the problem to be fair.

I'm going back to my previous mask, Profile Gel Lite(?) for now. I want to try the Activa once I have some more money.
