CPAP Pad (gel pad)

I saw this in ebay. I went to their website to look at the product. Any our there tried this yet with full face mask?

i have never used it but i have used a nose pad that looks like similar material. That was ok and helped protect the bridge of my nose. I now use a padacheek liner and I no longer use a gel pad on my nose. it looks like it might be worth a try.

I would have tried that product except for the fact that they felt a need to put perfume in it.

It would be neat to see a hosehead users' conference where attendees could learn about the latest new products

Tonight and tonight only at the Georgia Dome...

I've tried everything else to stop the constant mask leaks whenever I move my head. I've just ordered one of these even though they still do not have one for a nasal mask. I'll dig out a FFM and give it a shot. They do have a 15 day guarantee and I should know pretty much after one night if it will work and if I have any trouble with the scent. It looks as though it would be too thick to bend properly around my nose bridge and not hit me in the eyes.

But since no one else has tried it, I'll be the guinea pig!

I tried it for my Hybrid mask...they don't yet have a Hybrid gel pad out, so I tried a FF size, turning it sideways and cutting it down.

1. The guys on this site are very good. Even though the product didn't work for me and I couldn't return it because I had cut it up, they STILL refunded my money. Incredible customer service!

2. The material itself feels nice on the skin--cooling, kind of a liquid feel.

3. It is nice and soft!

4. The pad was thick, which might work for a FFM but it didn't work for the Hybrid. I can see where the thickness would be an advantage with a FFM because it would literally sit between the face and the mask.

4. The perfume is nasty, cloying and over-sweet. It is a rose scent, but not a nice one--it's very artificial (I love roses and grow a lot of them). No perfume would be better.

Just my experience. YMMV.

Weezy

But they tell you to cut it up. See "How it works" #5. They better take it back after it's cut.

I am worried about the scent. I don't suppose there is any way to soak it out?

I can't wait to try this. I am going to order it today.

Hi OutaSync, how did you go?
I ordered one and it arrived last week. I was surprised at how sticky it was, it turned me off using it. I will wait until next weekend to try as I don't like to try anything new during the week due to work - I would hate to wake up and find my face had reacted to it in some way as 10 year old students can be very honest!

Why is it scented? I hate scented stuff. Try this...I used an old cushion from my resmed quattro, cut a small strip from the cushion and used it on the bridge of my nose...it worked well...thin, flexible.

SnoozySue, I haven't gotten mine, yet. Like you, I hope it comes on Friday so I can try it out on the weekend. Sticky might be a good thing, we'll see.

BigDaddy, what is a Resmed quarrell? I'm guessing they scented it to cover an even worse smell.

I'm glad yo see some have tried it. I didn't want to waste my money. I am still contemplating if I will order one. I don't like the idea of the scent. However I like the idea of the conforming seal. I am going to order a Remzzz's sample pack and try that will my full face mask. I only use the full face occasionally. I think since spring has sprung here..my allergies are getting bad...so I will probably be using the full face mask a lot more.

I, too, have one on order. Fairly soon, this thread should have some useful reviews.

I don't know why they add scent to the thing; I'm hoping that, after it's on, the airflow will blow the scent away.

I got my confirmation of shipment with the following note that will be of interest to all of you:

Right now they only have the FFM seals, but they tell me that they will have other sizes in stock on March 15. By that time we should have some good feedback on this item.
