RG pantyhouse worked great!!
I took RG advise on cutting a pantyhose leg and using it on my CL2. Last night was the first night I have used it all night and no leaks. That was amazing. I had put this mask up and thought it was hopeless. Not anymore. Only yesterday I had ordered nasal pillows to try in hopes that I could use thi...

From what my RT tells me is that you should not to be surprised if you awaken and you have thrown it across the room and don't remember.
