RESPURA AGGELPAD-ML Boomerang Gel Pad, M/L

Being a CPAP user, I was getting a sore nose from my full face mask. I was hesitant to try this as I had previously tried the Gecko nasal pad which was a complete failure for me. The Boomerang is everything the Gecko wasn't. First, it is a little thinner and more flexible than the Gecko so it stays on my nose and I can more easily position my mask. It just fits better. Also, I don't get leaks like I did with the Gecko. And it's less expensive. No more sore nose and I'm sleeping much better. As for how long it will last, it's only been a couple of weeks but it seems to be holding up pretty well. I would hope I could get one to two months use out of it. I wash it with mild soap and water and let it dry well before each use.

So disappointed with this purchase and sad I cannot return it. I was really hopeful but as it turns out the pad does not stay put at all. It causes mask leaks and does not resolve the problem -- instead it causes more. I found the best solution was to use simple medical tape over the bridge of my nose and then put the mask on. It does the job 10 times better than this product. Do not waste your money on this!

Main reason I got this was in hopes of stopping the skin irritation I would occasionally get in the bridge of my nose. The irritation was a series of blister like pimples. When treating and using CPAP it would create a large sore. This device has completely eliminated the occasional irritation. I've not had one since I started using this nightly five months ago. Additionally it creates an even better air seal with the mask. It is so easy to use. I admit, I rarely wash it or wet it to apply. I do store it in the original container, when not in use. Nightly I slap it across my nose and strap on the mask. Don't know how long it will last, but I will buy it again.

Wanted to give 0 rating. Total waste. Could not get nasal mask to seal, no matter how I adjusted it. Would tell others to avoid trying. 6/30/2014 - I wrote Dec 2013 when I tried the pad with a Resmed soft gel nasal mask that had the same soft gel pad for my forehead. Not sure, that mask seems discontinued. My provider sent me a Resperonics mask this round and so out of desperation I gave the Boomerang Gel Pad another try. You do need to lay back when placing and getting pad to stay in place. But, with this mask I was able to get a seal and achieved comfort on an already raw nose bridge. So. I rerate accordingly.

I have mixed reviews for this gel pad. As a Cpap user, I have to deal with mask leaks like allot of us do. This pad does work, and has given my nose bridge a needed relief! It also seals the mask very well from annoying air leaks allowing me to loosen the straps a bit. The problems I have with it however, is the price for one! It is overpriced as you only get one pad for over $8.00. The first time I used it, it tore slightly at the bridge. It is a product with very limited multi use. It won't last at all. I feel that you should get at least 4 pads for that price. It is a sticky wet gelatin like pad. It is fragile. I reached out to my supply service and opted for a different style of mask with memory foam, and I hope it works well, so that I don't have to invest in another pricey fragile gel pad. It is a product that does work, but WAY over priced.

I had severe blisters due to the face mask i was using-i tried using these mask liners https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AC4GDH8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they worked well, but only for a few weeks. The blisters returned and it was extremely painful. I finally ordered the RESPURA AGGELPAD-ML Boomerang Gel Pad and it was a life saver. So much more comfortable. Not hard to use. My suggestion would be to press down on the bridge of your nose and let the material get warm. It starts to settle and form to shape. Then just pop on the mask and your done. You may have to shift it around a bit, but you get it down after a few tries. Make sure to wash it occasionally and store in the same box in between the two clear plastic sheets it came with in the box. This keeps it clean. You can reuse this many times before getting a replacement

I needed something to stop my mask from hurting the bridge of my nose, so I ordered this. It gives good padding. However, it will not stay in place for me while I put my mask on. I have to hold it in place with one hand while I position my mask with the other hand. This places my hand completely in the way of where my mask needs to go. Makes it very hard to get my mask on. This has nothing to do with the Seller, it is a flaw in how the pad is made. I would not recommend this item. You may have better luck with it though.

I like this pad. I wear a small mirage Quattro full face mask but my face was getting sore on my nose and cheeks. I ordered a larger size, covered my nose and brought it down to where the mask falls on my cheek. Woke up with no "pressure point" pain. No marks on my nose and no feel as though my face was bruised (it never was, it was just tender to the touch. For me, this worked. When you put it on you need to be ready to put your mask on right away. The pressure of the mask will hold it on your face but if you are not ready, it will fall off. Everyone's face and mask are different but this stopped pain and leaks so I am thrilled

Helped reduce leaks around the bridge of my nose with Fisher & Paykel Simplus and Vitera full face masks, Medium + Large sizes. A bit expensive but being it helps with sleep, it was worth it.

This silicone strip is way way too expensive!!! I would never recommend this product to anyone!!!!

Expensive but works well.

I thought this thing would come with adhesive strips to help them stick to the bridge of your nose and fit under Cpap mask, but it is very, very tricky to get it to fit and stay in place without adhesion. It provides only minimal relief from the extreme discomfort of the mask I have. As well I was disappointed by the price point and the listing seemed to suggest there would be at least 2 of these strips in the box but there is only one. It seems like a great idea, but unfortunately, it did not work for me.

I was leery about purchasing this item because of some negative reviews but it is working very well for me so far (about 2 weeks now). However, I don't see why it's so expensive - unless the material it's made of is difficult to produce.
