omg!!!! it does work

Post by sjb46 » Thu Nov 04, 2010 8:43 am

I read in a posting awhile back that someone had tried using panty liners on the mask. I was getting right tired of creases in my fat little face and swollen beady little eyes in the morning so I thought what the heck---guess what, it worked!!!! My daughter was grossed out but oh well. I put the little bugger (one with wings) on the mask and cut out a hole for my face and it worked. I seemed to have a good seal (no rude noises from the mask) so I think it was a success.

Oh the images in my head!

I bet if they were removed from their original package plenty of guys would believe they were medical supplies called cpap liners. What I want to see is a video of the guy who gets duped and is told what they really are while all masked up. How quick do those quick-release clips release? Hahahahahaha But, some men have been convinced to use the tights for extra straps, so maybe pantiliners... I just want to know who will be the first to admit to using them.

They're already wearing our pantyhose and nipple cream...isn't this just the next natural progression?


Sigh. How are we ever going to keep anything for ourselves anymore?

Alright... alright!!! I tried the panty-liners and I got leakage around the mask. I also tried cut outs from my undies, and woke up screaming at two am, with the thought of having my undies on my face. I did try the Afta after shave, and the marks on my face are gone by the time I hit the door for work.

I would imagine the laughs I would get from folks who would see me with panty liners hanging from my mask. One thing is for sure... I feel so much better from my cpap therapy, and I am less likely to "yank" people from their cars who start yappin' their gums at me, but I can do it much better now. And who knows, I'll apologize for the cuts, scrapes and bruises you get by "accidently" falling down on the way to the back seat of my squad car.

All My Love,

Sheriff

Hey, I missed something. Where do the condoms go on the CPAP machine?

Missed the hint about the aftershave (Afta), will someone clue me in, please? My FitLife Total Face Mask leaves grooves along my upper cheeks that never go away. It's a trade off for 0.0 leaks. But if an after shave can help, please let me know!

I think the Afta works as a topical anti-inflammatory.
much like Tucks, or similar products
--I would even try the "red-out' eye drops--they're not the best for your eyes, but might work on your face.

I'm lost. What exactly is the problem you all are trying to remedy with these (weird) solutions?
