Rested Gal,
I'll tell you the same thing my youngest son (then 3 1/2 years) said to me when I asked, "You are going to be a very good boy for me on the airplane, aren't you?" After giving it some thought his answer was "....You never know what I might do."

Esther, I think you have a winner there! Make sure you put some batting in for insulation, and don't forget the ruffles! You could make it one size fits all.

Also, Lori, I will take into consideration that I may have had it too tight. I am so worried about those leaks! I guess I did have my nose scrunched up just a little. The Aura pillows do seem just a little rounder, but not sure what the reason for the irritation was from, really.

Another tip, LOL, I couldn't find a pin last night, so I used a paper clip to make the strap tighter. Worked pretty good.

I want to be on the notification list when the Aura Hot Head Hats are ready! I liked the Aura, but had a lot of trouble with condensation also. I did wrap the short tube with some fleece and also put a couple of layers around the nasal loop where it connects to the rest of the head gear. That, plus turning down the HH did help. But please, no ruffles on my AHHH!

Hey do I at least get a "finders fee" if Karen comes up with the product? Remember, Lori, that's the way I was gonna get rich.

Esther,

Go with it, girlfriend! Have fun, get rich, be creative. You deserve more than a finder's fee. You should have the patent! Like you said, it was your idea.

Glad to hear the Aura is still getting good reviews. I'll be placing my order for one before the end of the month (insurance covers 1 mask every 6 months).

Ummmm.. something a bit more manly in the HHH, please? I'm afraid the ruffles would clash with my Spiderman underroos.

OK Lori, darned if I am going to wear panty hose on my face . My wife already told her friends about my "hose cover"

Sorry, I refuse to wear a little house on the prairie bonnet to bed, and the panty hose either

Frostman,

Anything stretchy will do, but pantyhose really works great. It doesn't even look like a pantyhose leg once it's cut away from the panty...come on, don't get all macho on us now.
Lori, a man has to take a stand, first you want us to wear panty hose, then another lady thinks we should wear a little house on the prairie bonnet to keep the hose warm, enough is enough
