Decapitated Aura/Twilight question....

Post by painterman » Sun Aug 19, 2007 12:46 pm

What have you all found to be the best long term pad for the forehead on a decapitated twilight?

I have read the previous posts about this subject but wanted to know long term what works the best.

I am about ready to make the "cut" and want to be prepared.

Thanks

as per suggestions i read on the boards, i use a round cosmetic sponge...just the right thickness, very comfy, long lasting...i bought a package of generic, inexpensive ones in the cosmetic section of the drugstore...i just put the interface on, pop a sponge in between what's left of the headgear and my forehead and it stays in place all night

What Sharon said.

I use two, it changes the angle of the nose piece to point away from my nose, which seems counter intuitive, but for some reason when I add the tie under my nose it gives a better seal. They stay in place all night long most nights, and are easy to reposition when they slip.

Good luck with the beheading!

I also find the angle change beneficial.
