I know that each person is an individual and each person is going to have their own individual personal preferences, wants and needs. I don't want to look in the mirror at the beauty shop 8 hours after getting up and seeing lines down my cheeks. My skin is such that the least little thing will leave a substantial mark on my face that doesn't go away quickly. I find headgear annoying, and straps leave dents or marks on my face even with good quality strap pads or I get a bag under one eye from the straps reducing circulation. The no headgear thing is very important to me in my personal preferences department. I am actually a tough consumer and hard to please. I would always say that no mask is ever totally perfect for me as I would always find some little something about a mask that kept it from being "perfect" (at least for me and my needs). I would always say "like" or "causes me the least annoyances or problems" or "it's okay and I can be successful with it". I never could bring myself to really use the "love" word about anything related to cpap. So I finally got to try it, and I was right.for me it is indeed the perfect mask, and I get to say something I have never said about any mask.that I love the Bleep mask. I was 99.99% sure that the Bleep would be a perfect mask for me. When I first read about the Bleep nasal mask the first thought through my mind was "finally someone has actually done what I have always said I wished I could do.glue the mask to my nostrils/nose and there's no headgear to mess with at all". During this time I have privately said."I wish I could figure out some way to tape/glue the nasal pillows to my nose and just ditch the headgear and not have to mess with a mouth guard either". So for the past 9 plus years as new pillow masks were released they were tried, and sometimes they became my new primary mask and sometimes they earned the "it's an okay mask" classification which means I liked it but not well enough for it to unseat the current primary mask at the time. I found that to get less on my face and head I usually had to sacrifice stability in either the headgear or pillows. ![]() However, when getting less "stuff", we have to sacrifice something somewhere. What I learned with my experimenting is that I want the least amount of "stuff" on my face and head as possible. I just like to experiment for the fun of experimenting and the education I always get with any experiment. I have always been a nasal pillow user with brief trials of other masks just for the fun to trying something new. Those doubters among you all.let me explain. I don't know how I can beat a home run, and it has got easier and better the more I used it, but the first night I was blown away by my success. Not one wake up attributable to the DreamPort on the very first night.not one and we all know how first nights with brand new masks of any kind can go. Finally, I hit a real home run.for the first time ever with the Bleep-Dreamport. For you baseball fans you will understand what I mean. Sure a few doubles, singles and triples, but nothing fully out of the park, much less into the bleachers. Feel like I have my life back again.I have been a cpap user for nearly 10 years and never found a "Home Run" mask until now. Note, this is their old product, not the new one that’s set to launch in a couple weeks/months. It’s analogous to a nasal pillow, so be sure to use a chin strap or equivalent to keep your mouth closed. I couldn’t recommend their product enough for those struggling to find the right mask. I found a hose hanger helped keep the weight off the system to keep the dreamports adhered to my nose all night. After getting the system setup correctly, I have no leaks whatsoever, I’m sleeping beautifully. Easy enough after getting used to it though. The hose is a little funky because it has 4 plastic prongs on each tube that are difficult to connect to each dreamport at first. I started being obsessive about drying my skin, perfecting a seal around the edges of the dreamports, and applying the hose properly. I went back and rewatched their educational video a couple times over to apply the adhesive dreamports properly. I mentioned that I tried Bleep, but it wasn’t working for me because of leaks. Note, I have 0 affiliation with Bleep aside from being a customer. ![]() I previously used the N20 and loved it, but it completely destroyed the bridge of my nose open sore and redder than a fire truck, despite using mask liners, lanolin, etc. I posted last week about my struggles with finding the right mask. ![]()
