Hey, I got the new MediFlow bed pillow today...tonight's the first night with it.

I hope you love your's as much as I love mine!

I looked at the Mustache Sealer - they don't list the ingredients, so tomorrow I'll try to find those and go from there. Thanks, Pugsy!

http://www.diverightinscuba.com and enter mask leak sealant into the search box. When you order, shipping will be ridiculous, so be sure to ask for USPS shipping. You may get an email asking you to confirm the lower price, but that was OK with me! I have no financial relationship with this store.

I hope it works for you.

Thanks! Now I know how to use them. . .lol.

By the way, after I test these products (will use q-tip to apply all, and will not touch used q-tip to container) I will have a LOT of product that I won't use but may work well for someone else. (I think one bottle of something will be more than sufficient for me.) So if you would like to try something after I've tested it, please PM me, and I'll send it to you. Don't want this stuff going to waste.

The Mustache Sealer is the same stuff - so I ordered it this morning. Thanks, Pugsy!

I'm anxiously awaiting the results of the mustache sealer tests. I just
wonder about how hard it will be to get it out of my mustache. I don't
think quietmorning will be able to help with that one.

There's a dive shop near my house and they have it in stock.

I ordered it this morning. I'm very curious about it too. I have Italian eyebrows, I'll do a little experimenting on them. If the brows come out - such a no loss.

Lansinoh (with Milk of Magnesia)

Small leak early in the morning. Would probably do much better without the Milk of Magnesia. Lansinoh has been used by a lot of people here on the forum, so I don't think I'm going to test it further with the Milk of Magnesia. I will write a summary on the face page for the newbies.

Seems to me that the Milk of Magnesia is sticky enough in its own right that to use it with the Lansinoh in order to use the Lansinoh is really a wasted effort.

Some points for comparison:
Milk of Magnesia is sticky whereas Lansinoh is tacky. Lansinoh (without the MofMag) does not leave a crust on the skin in the morning - actually softens your skin while you sleep.

Helpful hints: Lansinoh can clog pours - use sparingly. May cause itching for those who are sensitive.

This test was done sleeping on my back. Since the seal is not as good with the Milk of Magnesia - I invite someone with a pressure of 10 or more with a nasal pillow to run a two night test sleeping on back then on side to see what the leak rate is. I'd do it, but I'd ruin the test with the itching. If you will give me your impressions either here or PM, I'll update the summary on the face page for the newbies.

Frizz Ease - Spiral Style Curl Defining Spray Gel

Does not work. One night test, isn't worth trying again. There is no seal, pillow slips, lots of leaks.

I have had great success using Pure lanolin.
It is sticky and soothes. And is very inexpensive.

Pure Lanolin Anhydrous
Lanolin Anhydrous is high in lipid content and contributes to hydration levels in the skin. Lanolin is easily absorbed into skin cells, which allows it to help repair barrier function and increase skin moisture. Our Lanolin Anhydrous is derived from Sheep Wool.
Here is where I buy it :

Thank you, MerMade! The link is no longer valid - but I found it on Amazon for the pricing.

When you use this, is it smooth? Sticky? Tacky? Cement?
Edit - saw that it is sticky. . .lol. . .need to pay closer attention. . .
How has the leak rate been?
(Want to put as much information as possible)

Found at Amazon for $8.90 + shipping.

Morning BethAnna,
You are a true experimenter after my own heart.

Quick update on my latest experiment...the Mediflow water pillow with down filled top.
Firm with 4 quarts of water. Felt good enough but maybe not quite as firm as I would like
First night woke up with slight headache from my neck.
Second night woke up...no headache.
Last night added another quart of water...felt awesome good to lay on
Woke up with major neck headache...darn...but we had thunderstorms all night and rain so maybe it is just related to the weather change because that wouldn't be the first time that rain does that.
Should it continue for next couple of nights will reduce water by 2 cups and see how it goes.

Wow. I hope for the best!! Thunderstorms do the same thing to me - horrible headache that goes all the way down my spine. I really should live in New Mexico with how I react to pressure changes.

I hope it works for you! **crossing fingers**

LOL. . .my school tests that came out for what I should be when I grew up was always, "lab rat" . . . **chuckles** wasn't sure whether they meant the scientist or the rat in the cage. .. lol
