Resmed Gecko Nasal Pad
Left town without the gel nasal pads I normally use, so I swung by a local DME and grabbed a Gecko Nasal Pad.
The Pros: VERY sticky - much stickier than what I was using previously. Had to "peel" my mask off in the morning. Also thick, so less irritation on the bridge of my nose than others. Works very well, mask didn't leak all night.
The Cons: It smells. Bad. All I can smell is mineral oil, and I tried washing it vigorously with soap and the smell doesn't seem to go away. Also, it's expensive.
It does what it's supposed to do, but they are expensive and the smell is really that bad. This is the last Gecko I'm buying.
