Hi, I'm a newbie, tonight is my first hose-job

Hey Tangents

Welcome to the forum.
The way that I keep my hose routed up over my head: I put a ponytail holder around the forehead support on my mask and then the hose too. That holds the hose upward. Then to really make it the best, hang the hose from above your head. I use a cup hook on my headboard, and I put a pony tail holder on my hose and hook it on the cup hook.
That keeps my hose from touching me at all.

Good luck, there are loads of great tips here that will smooth your way in your adjustment to the treatment.

Well, you know roost, that's the first thing I'd do! Then while trying to fish it out, I'd probably drop the mask in as well.
