I clicked through on the Bleep link on your posts and had some questions: what's the average monthly cost of the nose "stickers"? Are they single use? I like the idea of no headgear since I do tend to sleep "hot" and hate the itchy feeling a sweaty head gives me.
The Bleep stuff is covered under insurance for a lot of people. Same HCPCS billing codes as any nasal mask and each box that contains 2 weeks worth of "the nose stickers" is considered like one nasal cushion or 1 nasal pillow and most insurance will allow 2 per month. So using insurance the cost isn't any more than a replacement cushion copay.
Now if someone doesn't have insurance or just wants to self pay....Cost will depend on if someone buys in bulk or not.
There may be a Bleep package in that box of donated stuff I sent to the guy above to try. I don't know if he tried it or not.
When the Eclipse becomes available later this summer (hopefully) it is so much better than the Bleep.
You can see information about the Bleep and the updated version the Eclipse here.

The Bleep is sold on Amazon as well. Buying in bulk for other places is cheaper but to give you an idea...Amazon one box which is 2 weeks worth runs about 16 bucks. When buying in bulk you can almost cut the monthly cost in half.
Remember those personal preferences, wants and needs that I told you about that each person might have a different list????
I hate the headgear...and I hate the straps so I love the no headgear and straps of the Bleep.
My personal preference is as little on my face and head as possible.
The other mask that I can use and be okay with is the ResMed P10. It's about as nothing on the face and head that is possible with the more traditional masks. The P10 is my number 2 in preference list.
I was one of the Beta testers for the Eclipse...it's even a lot better than the Bleep original.
I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.
