YES! I got it about a month ago and it is great!! I wish I had known about it a couple of years ago. I could have saved myself from all the nose "bites" my Quattro left on me.

LOVE all her products!! You should order the HOSE COVER too –it is a great micro fleece, very well made, generous size and she even provides a little silk drawstring bag to slip over the end of your rubber tube so the hose cover slide on magically!! I have all kinds of padded strap covers too—she will custom make them to fit each particular mask. You will be AMAZED at how well made these products are and you well get them fast too!! You picked the BEST!! 

Yes, I use them. Before the nose protectors I always had a blister in various stages of healing on my bridge. I still get a red mark from the pressure of the mask, but it doesn't break the skin any more. I put off buying them way too long. They are so worth it.

I bought the hose cover from her about three years ago now, still working great, it's been through the washing machine too many times to count holding up well.

I'd trust any of her products.

I use the forehead pad and love it and the cheek doodads and love them. I used to use the hose cover but dont need it with the hose hanger.

I got my "Pad A Cheek" hose cover in the mail today. It's excellent! Much better than the Snugglehose cover.

I love the tiny silk bag that's included, for covering the rubber end of the hose to help slide it down through the hose cover. Genius!

I have the forehead & nose pad for the Quatro FF and although I still have a small red mark on my nose for a while in the morning it has done the trick, no more sores, it actually made the mask feel really comfortable, I would not be able to wear the quatro FF without it, would recommend this to anyone.

Ditto what the others have said ... I've gone back to order a variety of protectors for different masks and have never been disappointed. Karen (Padacheek) is always willing to try to come up with a solution for a new problem!
