I tried it and it would not keep a seal. Also, the cheek pads pushed too much on my cheeks.

There have been many posts on the CC, check out the cpapopedia or do a search and you will find all kinds of info.

Comfort cure

Don't waste your time. A terrible mask. Leaks galore and your cheeks stay red all day.

Didn't work for me. It was one of the most uncomfortable, leaky things I've tried to use.

But..... I'm in the midst of a lab-rat experiment (on myself, of course! lol ) and have just about whipped the Comfort Curve into submission.

Every bit of the headgear, including the horrendous cheek slab holders...gone!

All that's left is the nasal piece and the twin tubes. No less than THREE legs from pantyhose tights have been called to duty.

Last night with the stripped down CC was extremely comfortable. Almost as comfy as my Aura...almost. More to follow after a few more nights of tweaking.

P.S. I agree with bfreier...I wouldn't take a chance on it if you hope for it to work "as is". I'm doing some rather extreme modifications to mine.

THREE? Where is all this going to lead us?

It is obvious. If two is good and three is better, then four is ...

Pretty soon RG's picture will be replaced with someone looking like an Egyptian mummy or the Invisible Man, but with their head wrapped with panty hose instead! .

LOL...good imagery, Bill.

And I think the best line in RG's post was when she said, "Every bit of the headgear, including the horrendous cheek slab holders...gone!" When I read the word "gone," I lost it. She is just too much. Most people would gasp at what she's doing, but to her it's so routine to rip these puppies apart and reconstruct them.

Before it is all said and done, though, you know we are all going to end up purchasing one and deconstructing it according to her photos of the reconstructed one.

RG, you are an amazing lady. I said it before and I'll say it again, they need you in R&D at one of the mask producing corporations. Then maybe we could all get some really workable, efficient and comfortable ones to use at night.

RG, Have you ever thought of trying to design a mask from scratch? You could not do worse and I bet would do better than the paid designers. You also should get the recyclers award for all the panty hose you reuse!

I sleep with comfort curve every night but I must admit that I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and put on my ultra mirage ff. I prefer the comfort curve though. It took much time and some pany liners for cheek pads to make it through the night but I usually sleep all night with it on.

I'm just trying to figure out where you buy three legged pantyhose? The L'eggs retail outlet store?

My guess is you need to shop for those at the transvestite undergarment store.

Well I hear it used to be in New Orleans but I guess it would be San Francisco.

Again, a guess, but I think you would find them all over the place if you know where to look.
