I can see the upcoming advertisement for puresleep now! Not just for relaxation, can be used with stinky partners and even skunks in your walls.

Probably payback for having them neutered... That'll teach ya!

Most nights (thankfully), I'm asleep by the time he opens the bathroom door. But there have been a couple of instances when I wasn't and when the smell had not yet cleared from the bathroom. PeeeeUUUU!!!! I reminded him that when I have my pap mask on, I'm forced to breathe through my nose, so I have no relief from the smell! Lately he's been opening the window and that seems to help a lot. But yes, the smells in the room DO come through!
Candles....we have two candles in the bathroom...the agreement is that if you are going to smell it up, you must light the candles....and It makes a huge difference.
Be careful of any open flames! LOL

I sometimes notice a weird smell if my humidifier tank runs dry. I use the Aussie heated hose and keep my HH jacked all the way up. If the HH tank runs dry or gets close to running out, there is a weird smell as well. I got this with my other machine as well and must have something to do with the metal plate. I do used distilled water.
