Should We Make a CPAP is Sexy Calendar?
Walt raised this idea on a thread about CPAP Vanity/Sex Appeal (or lack thereof)
I"ve brought up the idea of a calender in the lines of "cpap is sexy" and have pt's actually pose (clothed and in good taste) in their beds with their cpap devices and the proceeds going to charity...So far, none of the major players of cpap have opted to sign on.
- This is my response (below). What does everyone think?
- I like the idea of a CPAP is sexy calendar. you've run it by ResMed and Respironics and they're not into it? maybe we can design our own CPAP is sexy calendar. Everyone start by uploading a photo of themselves to the Photos section of this site -- rules are like you said: "(clothed and in good taste) in their beds with their cpap devices" -- then we can all vote on which ones make the cut, and SleepGuide can fund the costs of printing? the key would be getting people to upload appropriate photos. think we should try it?

I would absolutely do it! I wish there were singles groups for people who had CPAP machines! I think it would be fun and beneficial. :) Great idea Mike!

actually, it's Walt who picked up on the word "Sexy," not me: http://www.sleepguide.com/forum/topics/cpap-and-vanity?commentId=25...

A mouth full of hardware, drool running down the cheeks, teeth migrating away from where they belong, and incomplete resolution of sleep apnea is not sexy at all.

Taking your health into your own hands is sexy. I do not care what the nay-sayers say. Showing a bunch of people just wearing a mask probably would not show the true beauty PAP therapy. The calender should have pictures of people actually sleeping with PAP. Showing PAP users living healthy lives, playing with their kids, or just being active would probably make for a better concept. Good on Walt for coming up with an idea to promote PAP awareness.

CPAP sexy? Good luck on that one,Mike. It would be easier to erase the National Debt!

How can anyone not say/believe that trying to make yourself healthly isn't sexy????
When I ran this by the Respironics/ResMed reps in our neck of the woods, they laughed it off....Sorta amazed me. CPAP, of course, is a HUGE market....this is one area of it that has NEVER been touched. We could really be breaking some impressive ground here...Hope everyone signs on....

I'd buy it, if not be in it. I'd have to be at my desk with my mask on to get a picture and it'd be only head and shoulders, which is probably a better view... :-)

Count me in. My wife says I'm sexy. Does that count?

I'm with you Linda. Personally I like to think if a burgler broke into my home he would think I were on life support and instead of robbing me he will leave me money. Sexy? I can't see it...lol
Linda Osborne said:lol...well quite honestly...if you find the Darth Vader sounding, air craft pilot look sexy..then go for it. I myself don't ha ha ( I kid because I have to wear one of these crazy contraptions)
