Pad-A-Cheek Nose Bridge Trial

Post by Silicone Allergy » Fri Sep 11, 2009 9:00 pm

I remember reading that after a silicone mask aged and was soaked in water that the silicone effect would be lessened. This did not seem to be the case with my old quatro mask. I liked Pad-A-Cheeks thickest padding for the nose best. I only experienced reddening but no breaks in the skin on my nose. I also put A&D ointment on my nose which may have helped. I also used the A&D ointment on my cheeks but felt a stinging sensation there.

I wish the mask manufacturers would also make masks for those who are allergic to silicone.

I have previously used a Pad-A-Cheeks product for the Swift mask. I highly recommend Pad-A-Cheeks products which are well made, utilitarian, and attractive.
