GRRRR why does my breeze fall off every nite??

Post by pharmwoman » Thu Sep 14, 2006 3:00 pm

should I tie it on like a little bonnet??LOL Im afraid that will make it uncomfortable--my dh suggested the swift but I found those nasal prongs to be very uncomfortable. Any suggestions??

I had that problem too. I took the straps from my comfortlite 2 and used them on my breeze. I used a ribbon to tie the CL2's back strap to the backplate on the Breeze. I've been using it for over a month now every night and it stays in place. It feels more stable and is easily adjusted if needed during the night.

Someone else on this forum did the same thing, using the CL2 straps and made some other modifications. I think he included a picture. You might try doing a search to see what it looked like. Also some on this forum use an extra strap or pantyhose for stability, one includes a picture. Again, do a search and see what they did.

Hope this helps!

I tie a section of panty hose around mine and run it under the hose in the back. Works like a charm and it doesn't move around. I love my Breeze!

Shifting Breeze

Hi. Apparently the Breeze is prone to slide around on hair, and since I really want the mask to work out for me, I did like many others and stabilized it. I use the panty portion of a pair of pantyhose and wear it like a cap, or sometimes wear a sport sweatband/headband. No more shifting Breeze.
