<p>Hi Ginny. Just a quickie before bed..... (it's 12.35 am here in the UK). I have what is probably a medium face, but I think Mary has a small face, so best ask her about this. However, I never ever sleep on my back and manage to sleep on my side with this mask on the edge of the pillow. Those shaped pillows with cut-outs never seem to be in the right place for me :( hence the fact that I've designed my own pillow which is on the patent list + ready for manufacture now, and what a long job…</p>
<p>Hi Ginny. Just a quickie before bed..... (it's 12.35 am here in the UK). I have what is probably a medium face, but I think Mary has a small face, so best ask her about this.

Those shaped pillows with cut-outs never seem to be in the right place for me :( hence the fact that I've designed my own pillow which is on the patent list + ready for manufacture now, and what a long job this has been. I had a friend round today who hasn't seen me for a while + she commented how much better my face looks. This is since I've only used the Fitlife + Hybrid. The Quattro is the worst one for me. We're all so different though. Hope I've helped rather than confuse you further LOL. Good Night!</p>

Took a nap this afternoon (bad night last night~used 3 different kinds of masks~NOT all at once~LOL) SO I was tired.

The only time I personally have any under eye puffiness (sounds better than bags!) is when mask is leaking in to my eyes badly.
