BLEEPing Mask Hell

[Zomby Woof]

What a disappointment!
After five miserable nights trialling the BLEEP Mask, I don't have enough enthusiasm to put it on even once more.
This mask is finicky, fragile, and costly to own.

Except for one intriguing session of an hour-and-fifteen minutes at ZERO % LEAK RATE, and,
a 2nd session of about four hours at 5% Leak Rate, my nights have been a fragmented war zone.

Generally the BLEEP leaks much more than my P10, and, it does so in exotic new ways.
I discovered one mysterious leak source when the hard plastic hose interface/diffuser fell off the soft silicone body at 2:00AM one morning.
3M Micropore tape now holds my expensive mask bits together cause I couldn't find any rubber bands, chewing gum or baling wire

Worst of all, I've spent more time with the required bedtime beauty facial de-oiling process than is seemly for an American male to admit - I am NOT a Metrosexual

OK, apparently I do have oily skin = DOES THAT MEAN I CAN NEVER AGAIN HAVE A GREAT NIGHT'S SLEEP?

Go ahead, Flame Me BLEEP people! I'm suicidal from lack of sleep anyway - death would be a sweet release from BLEEPing Mask HELL

I won't flame you one bit.
I will offer to help you if you want help. Stuart will be more than willing to try to help.
If it fell apart...it wasn't attached properly.
If it was leaking...it wasn't attached properly.
If it is noisy...it is not attached properly..
You shouldn't be needing tape to hold it together...it will stay hooked together all by itself if it is properly attached.
If you happened to get a lemon or dud...you can get another one.

Call Stuart...speak to him directly...he will be happy to help you. He will do video chats with people to help them sort out their problems.
919 619 7170
If you want to chat with me...I will do the same.

I find the nightly ritual of cleaning my nose and sticking the ports on a pain.

BUT once done thats it, no leaks (unless I open my big gob and mouth breath) no noise with the resmed filter diffuser is it worth the extra pre night maintenance definitely for me and the cost as I self pay.


I have thought about going back to my P10 just to see how used to the Bleep I have got but I don't want to interrupt my sleep to try

Follow pugsy's advise Stuart can help, and your issues and concerns will help other users and may help with further product development.

My mask did come apart one night I managed to get myself tangled in the hose and pulled the hose of the mask, I reconnected and went back to sleep.

Good news--excessively oily skin when you are young generally indicates never looking your age later on.
Small consolation, I know--but I hope some.

I also tried this mask, but it was too loud. No real leaks, but I must not have had a 100% seal? Either that or the dreamport mechanism was not locked in properly.

I also tried the filter diffuser trick, but no dice.

I will try them out again when they have a built in diffuser

Couple weeks ago, I realized that I could switch my N30i to a P30i for $30. So I spent a total of 5 days off the Bleep. Based on my experience, I can't recommend that you proceed with your experiment.

Nobody said it’s for everyone. It’s why there’s so many damn masks to begin with. Not like it’s not under warranty either. Send it back if you’re that miserable. But, as Pugsy said earlier and a lot of us have shared, Stuart is worth calling and seeing what’s going on wrong. Not calling, just makes you sound like you’re more interested in complaining than fixing your issues.

YMMV

If bleep doesn’t work for you, and you prefer another mask, that is great.

I am just grateful that someone out there cares enough to try something different.

Bleep doesn’t solve all my problems, but hubby loves the quiet, I love the leak-free sleep.

Perfect? Not yet.

Stuart is a gem who will spend the time with you to make it work.

You sound like someone who hasn't been sleeping well for 5 days or so.

I've yanked the diffuser plate off twice during my sleep now - but it's me, not the mask. Wakes you right up.

I'm tickled by your description of feeling "girly" because you're cleaning your face before bed - I get it - I know what you're talking about. My wife does that, not me. We're manly men, right? I'll share a secret with you - at my wife's urging, I've recently started using skin lotion! Don't tell anyone!

Another manly man trait is reluctance to ask for help. I'll handle this! Don't do that here - take Pugsy's advice, give Stuart a call he's really helpful. They'll help you get all this sorted out.

Good luck to you!

Thanks for your advice and sharing your secret djams!

I did call Stuart, who is very helpful and a delight to talk with.

He made two new and useful suggestions ( only 2 'cause I've experienced all the OTHER issues on my own )
1) Improvements to hose management: PJ hose clips for strain relief;
and,
2) his own private, personal, nightly skin cleansing facial process

Assuming his nightly regimen works for me, djams
would you be open to joining Stuart and I in a support group
for manly BLEEP Mask users who are DEFINITELY NOT Metrosexuals?

I CANNOT wait to hear the discussion in this new manly group. You guys are a hoot!

Well, djams DOES live in the Metroplex.... so does he already have a leg up on that?

Glad you gave him a call. He's got lots of helpful ideas and seems like an all round good guy.

Sure- I'm all in on the secret society of manly man Bleep users. Just let me know where the first meeting will be held.
