I feel like a boob!!

Post by MRH » Tue Jun 19, 2007 1:58 pm

Not really!! I tried the Lanolin nipple cream last night on my mask to see how it works. I do think it might have sealed better, I will see later tonight when I get a chance to download off the card. It did seem like it allowed the mask to keep tighter to my face by lubricating it so it would slip around the high and low spots making it seal better. I will post again later when I find out for sure.

I'm guessing this thread will have a LOT of hits!

I have two. I can let you test drive them. Send me your snail mail addy, and promise to pay me postage via PayPal and they are yours on indefinite loan. If you decide they aren't working for you, please send them back, so I can send them out to others who also feel like boobs.

LOL,

Well I just looked at the charts from last night. I don't think I will be feeling like a boob anymore I had quite a few more leaks and added another 10 to the AHI number I have been getting on the bad nights. So I suppose the lanolin cream will have to be used for something else. Oh well it made for a entertaining post I hope. Has anybody else tried this stuff? And how did it work for you?

Well I tried Lasinoh last night. Put whole bunches of the stuff on the seal and woke up with goop all over my face.

And my leak rate went down from 41 or so to 34.

So which is prefrable?
Goop or Leaks?


I don't feel like a boob.
I like feeling ...(censored)

John, you already have two of your own at home. I've seen pix.

Maybe you should use LESS GOOP? The RT told me to use a TEENSY TINY AMOUNT. All you are doing is increasing the tackiness of the membrane. Not glueing the thing to your face for life.

LOL,
B.

Hmmmmmm...in keeping with the theme of cross uses for lotions, what about those that use Prep-H on their eyelids to reduce swelling. I wonder what that would make you feel like.
By the way, I'm not sure the Prep-H claim to "shrink and go way" is accurate. I squirted some on my boss the other day and he's still here and still 5'10" and mean.

Cajapato, ah, but did you use COPIOUS AMOUNTS UP HIS NOSE? I think that would be the key there.

Hee hee hee...
