Next, I call STUPID. There's no way this flap of silicone is going to stay on.

If you are going to do this second one you might as well buy a hybrid!

I am also interested in the first one. Would it keep me from puffing air out of my mouth, though? Also, it looks like it could leave marks on the face, and I'd have to abandon my Bella loops (I imagine two sets of loops won't fit behind my ears, but who knows). Those who try it, please report back on this thread! I would love to lose the Hannibal Lechtor chinstrap.

GRIN. Thanks! The full body duct tape job reminds me of a silver Cat Woman outfit.

LOL... unless you like that kind of stuff. I have used a form of bondage to try to keep from rolling over on my back to avoid my positional apnea
I can only imagine what it felt like pulling that duct tape off the skin. OUCH!

You can see she is wearing shorts and a shirt, hopefully a buff over her hair.
I just love throwing ice water on your happy dog party!

I think Max has been watching 'Goldfinger' too many times. I guess duct tape will do in a pinch if you're a bit short on gold They say (by that I mean men) that there's nothing ever invented that can't be fixed with duct tape.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

jencat and SU, I have news: I received the "Consuming" mouth strap today. If you haven't ordered one yet, save your money and don't! The thing is so lightweight and flimsy I just burst out laughing when I tried it on. A slight twitch would (and did) knock it out of place, let alone a serious mouth-drop during deep sleep! It's not even going to get a one-night trial.

(Please don't tell anyone, I'm going to start a new thread: FOR SALE: BRAND NEW SEXY MOUTHSTRAP, HURRY TO BE THE FIRST BITER -- CORRECTION, BIDDER)
