Using earplugs to seal mask question

Post by metallikat36 » Wed Jan 24, 2018 3:54 pm

I found this method online:
http://www.sleep-apnea-guide.com/sore-o ... -mask.html
I want to try it to help sore nose bridge from my FFM. Can someone help me understand Version 2:

"version 2: or you can attach the earplug to the silicone liner like this "/\" (use as many earplugs as you need to do this), and press it gently all around until it's flattened and even with the inside edge. Then, when you put on the mask, it will flatten even more and it stay in place."

What does "like this "/\" " mean? Lol, this is the most unhelpful description =).

Thanks.

Why not post that on the forum from which it came?
