You might want to consider another mask......one that seals better.

After a bunch of experimentation, I found the Aura Headrest to be the best for me. I use 2" Blue 3M Delicate Release, and Lansenoh Lanolin (for breast-feed moms) on my nares (to seal the nasal prongs).

My leaks are almost zero......usually an almost flat line. My AHI is running around 0.3 consistently.

OK, now you want me to go back to the same drugstore and get breast lubricating cream? Come on people, you guys are killing me.

...........NO, you're killing me....

I knew if I left a trail of used Polident strips, others would need it and follow.

hahahahaha.......you're on the correct path.......you're right behind me.



You're doing great!

....I just thought, send me your snail mail and I'll send you
the tube I got. I only used it about a dozen time before I said
enough of this nonsense and got a FULL.



.....NO, really, I'll send it......save you the trip to the store.

Just think....you can have "nipple-soft-nares" like a bunch of us.

You're learning how independent this bunch of CPAP renegades really is.........

I'll bet the Cable-Guy could really build a heck of a routine around this.....

Git-er-done!

Careful now, you're putting us perilously at risk for hilarity to ensue.......

......and what is Astwoglide???? Do you get that at Walgreens, too?

Tubular Thoughts

Post by -SWS » Fri Dec 05, 2008 3:07 pm

Hilarious thread! I was candidly wondering if breast creme tubes are ever sold in "R" and "L" two-packs.

Also wondering about that ever-so-versatile Kentucky Jelly rested gal mentioned.

And I also thought the word "Astwoglide" referred to those twacks on the Houston Astwodome's wetwactable woof. Walgween's sells them now? Wow!


p.s. Put me down as another hosehead who prefers the highly sane FFM approach instead of mouth tape... But that was before I knew about all the tubular solutions discussed in this thread.

OH, Lord, please help us.....if this keeps up we're going to need a
risk assessment study be done. ...of course, that is the first step
in the risk management process.

....then a risk management team will need to be put together.

The RMT(risk management team) will already know that hilarity is what
we are in risk of....so their work can begin immediately.
I, for one, do not have any idea how the RMT is going to quantify
the degree of hilarity that is putting us in the above risk catagory.
Without accurate measure of the degree of hilarity involved,
the probability of occurrence and the potential for loss can be totally incorrect.
....if those values are incorrect, we could be at further risk....

The RMT will also need to know how many individuals are at risk.
They will have no way of knowing exactly how many people are being
exposed to the risk due to members, member/lurkers, guests, guest/lurkers....
spammers, spammer/lurkers......ah....DMEs, DME/lurkers,
geez, new risk assessment algorithms are going to be needed.

Lets just all step back from our keybrds, and take a deep breath,
before this gets really ugly.

Oh, my goodness, this has gone waaaaaay beyond hilarity and at least for me has crossed into unhealthy territory. I was laughing so hard that I STOPPED BREATHING!!!! People, this is counterproductive to the entire foundation of this forum, so kindly KNOCK IT OFF!!!

Elader, I adore your sense of humor. (The rest of you idiots, too.)
