I have absolutely hated putting a mask on every night for the last 6 years. Every time I moved my head on the pillow my headgear would slide because of my hair. Then my mask would leak air. I wore a ponytail to bed to keep it from popping off completely. I woke up more from having to readjust my mask and headgear than I did from any episodes. I got so I would sit up in bed just to turn over.
I have tried face masks and pillow masks and they all drove me crazy because of the headgear. So I ordered the Tap Pap to see if that was any better, because you don't have to have headgear.
It arrived a couple of weeks ago. Fitting the mouth piece was so easy. Adjusting the pillows to avoid leaks was easy! But the most wonderful part is going to sleep without the headgear.
I do love this mask!!!!
1. There is no leaking around my nostrils from the edge of the mask pressing against my head pillow. YEAH!!!!
2. The mouth piece holds the mask in place perfectly.
3. No more ponytail or snug headgear at night.
4. No more sitting up in bed to rollover.
5. I can have my glasses on and read with the mask on.
6. NO MORE CREASES on my face in the morning from the headgear.
I love my Tap Pap and like the nasal pillows. I know some people really have problems with adjusting to them. It would be great if the makers of the Tap Pap would make a mouth piece for the nasal mask for those people that can't adjust to the nasal pillows. Having no headgear has been the biggest plus for me. It's like having my freedom back!
I feel FREE with my Tap Pap mask
