Pad a Cheek

Post by texaz » Wed Aug 28, 2013 10:03 am

Pad a Cheek. I stumbled across this after becoming desperate to find a solution to the strap marks on my face every morning. Boy, am I glad I did! What a great invention, and very nice people to boot. No more strap marks.....it's amazing. Just get these if strap marks bother you!

It is amazing how much Pad a Cheek cozies, strap covers, and hose covers help.
Esp after having used the ones the dme carries. My RT was so impressed after seeing what I have that he is recommending Pad a Cheeks to his patients. I don't think he's telling the provider he works for.

I've bought a mask Pad a Cheek for my Wisp and it seems to get the job done. It does not stop leaks, per se, but it does muffle the leaks so that they don't wake one up at night, plus they eliminate the whistling and snorting sounds when the leaks slip out from under the mask. For wrapping the frame arms, there are definite benefits using their microfiber wraps as the OP mentioned... ie. stopping marks on the face and making it more comfortable.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
