I was offering the courtesy of making the product, if on his/her local drug store shelves, that much more easily discerned.  Sorry to have confused you.

Thank you - will look for it.  My tape is not wide enough so I need to overlap it but still works ok but wife said I was “gurgling” through the tape.  

My hose lift arrived from supplier # 1 and used it last night.  Wasn’t sure when I unpacked it since it looked very small but worked great and now I wish I had bought one long ago.  It really made a difference.  Never woke up from being tangled in hose.

Thanks for the info on the tape.  Just poking fun at the decision of is it "Teal or is it Turquoise".

I don't see chin-ups preventing that. It also doesn't do anything for positional issues like the cervical collar does. It won't stop me from trying it once though.

Yeah, no kidding . . . note the difference in these 2 leak graphs. 

Collar.



Chinup.



This is just my results of course, YMMV, but I'd call it a failed experiment on losing the neck blanket, woke up on a few of those leaks.  What I can't explain is why, the collar surely allows more jaw movement than the chin-up strips.  Oh well, maybe I'll give the tape across the lips another shot or just live with neck sweat.
Btw, anybody that would like to try these, I'd be glad to pop some in the mail, really don't want to toss them.  Hit me up with a PM with an address (will do the first 3-4 folks).  Only rule will be if they don't work for you, you have to PIF them to the next person on here that wants to try.
