PARTICIPANTS FOR TRIAL

Post by Sleepless on LI » Sat Oct 22, 2005 6:29 pm

I have been approached by someone, a fellow apnea sufferer, who has developed a type of strap pad that you can install over the lower headgear straps on standard nasal masks. They are microfleece soft, and designed to be more comfortable, as well as improving the appearance over the regular headgear. Most of all, they are made so that you don't wake up with marks on your face in the mornings. This is their main purpose.

In an effort to gain some feedback on this product and get it out to users of nasal masks, she has agreed to allow five individuals to try her cheek straps for free in exchange for posting their reviews on the site. The straps are currently for sale via eBay and she, as she reports, is in the midst of trying to get approval for sale through cpap.com.

Those who are interested, please reply to this thread and she will PM you with instructions on how you can participate in this trial. Have fun and let us all know how it works out.

Sounds interesting... I had my wife make me some out of lightweight fleece for my Swift. I tried the toe bandages, but found them too bulky for my face. The fleece worked great!!

Thanks for the wish of luck, but I'm just the messenger. I wish it were me who thought of the great idea, but it's not. Glad you're all set. That is a beautiful thing!!!

LOL! So you've heard of it before? I never did and it seems great for those who use a nasal mask. And she is making this offer to try it to five people for free in exchange for their review on this site.

So are you a user or interested in trying it, ma'am???

Saw her post about it in other threads here and on TAS where she mentioned her ebay site.

PADACHEEK

I'm okay with my toe bandages for the Swift (thank you Lori!), so I'll pass on this one.

Hey, that was my idea, the toe bandages!!! I am so happy they are working for you. Whenever I wear my Swift, I have my toe bandages in place, too .

I believe these are for nasal masks, anyway.

Lori, your toe bandages saved me from swoosh marks. Hers is the same principle as the toe bandages, but prettier.
