Go Life for Women ???

Post by trytryagain » Thu Jun 30, 2011 6:14 am

Has anyone tried the new Resperonics pillow mask, "Go Life for Women"? I need a new mask and I'm still not completely sold on the ones I've tried. So far the Swift fx is the one I use most, but this new mask is l a little less expensive.

I have a Swift FX for Her, but decided to try the Swift Lite and actually find the Lite, although there's 'more' of the mask, it seems to fit and stay put better than the FX.

I'm interested in hearing about the Go Life though.

Cheers,

It is an interesting looking mask, but I think those cheek parts would leave some deep marks, and I prefer to run the hose up and over my head. I use the Swift LT for Her and LOVE it.
Yes, that blue eyed beauty is my cat! He is a seal point, bi-color Ragdoll. I adopted him in '08 from folks who could no longer care for him. He is a joy and makes me smile each and every day.

I have used this mask for 2 months now and really like it.
I usually use the Swift LT for her, but get nasal irritation by those double walled nasal pillows and don't like the pressure on the upper lip that I feel with the swift lt for her.
I like these nasal cushions better on the go-life and it feels light on the face.
I found with the go-life, that one needs to attach the tubing to the top of the head: I used one of those clip straps that come with tubing: I just attach it to the hose and clip it to the top of my head strap. Otherwise, the weight of the tubing pulls the nasal cushion out of the nose.
Also: don't adjust it very tight , or your cheek "pooches" out the middle of the side standards, causing marks.
I hope this info helps!

Hi Tevis!
In my quest for the ideal cpap mask for me, I go shopping online.
I like to go to cpap.com to research the masks. Sometimes I buy from them. You will need to file a prescription from your Dr with them.They also offer a policy (that you pay for) where you can return the mask if you don't like it.
I also double check on cpapauction.com: it's like an ebay style auction. I indicate , on the L side of the page, "never been used" so I bid on a new one.
There are other web sites: if you search for nasal pillow cpap mask, you can find other websites and compare prices.
I hope this helps!
