Forehead indentation
Ugh...so I'm using the Comfortlite2 mask which I really like overall...partly because there are no straps on my cheeks. Getting a nasty indentation in my forehead that takes all day to go away...any suggestions? I've heard of cushion/pads for cheek straps...is there something like that for the forehead?

When I got my full face mask last week I was horrified at the bruise-like pain I was having on my forehead every day! But I found a very soft hand towel in my bathroom cabinet and folded it a few times and placed it on my forehead under the brace. Sometimes I even possition it so I can pull it down over my eyes like a eye mask and blocking out all the light makes me sleep even better! :D
Even a wash cloth folded a few times would likely fix your problem. Good luck!

I too have that problem. I just hate it. I admit it is a vanity problem for me. I see a lot of people during the day. The last time I had my hair cut, I had my cosmetologist give me bangs to cover it.

I am 60 have been on CPAP since 2003. Sleep apnea caused by a rare blood cancer, I developed tumors in my throat and airways. The sleep apnea was diagnosed quickly but it was 2007 before the cancer was diagnosed.
