Face Cushion Pre-Warmer

Post by freshair » Mon Dec 27, 2010 8:21 am

Has anyone ever come up with an ideal on how to warm up a face cushion before you strap it on ? I have noticed that my mask seals up alot better after I have had it on for awhile as the mask absords my body temp--I would like to hear from anyone that has thought about this or has tested various methods--FA

Hair dryer?

Hold it under your armpit?

Microwave?

I blast hot hair from my hair dryer into my mask before putting it on.

Just wear it for a few minutes before you turn the machine on.

how about putting a dry or damp washcloth in the microwave and then putting the warm washcloth on the mask for a few minutes?
