Earth Therapeutics versus Generic Sleep Mask
I bought this Jan. 2010 and have been using it on and off. This item does come with a very strong fragrance that is very nasty. As other reviewers have said, you will definitely have to get rid of the fragrance before you can use it. Secondly, I have several generic sleep masks from American Airlines that will be used as a comparison.<br /><br />The Earth Therapeutics sleep mask keep slipping off my face as I twist and turn. It is some what padded which I find unnecessary since I don't like any pressure on my cornea at all. The only way I could keep this from slipping off was to tighten the strap, which caused some pressure on my eyes due to it being padded.<br /><br />The American Airlines branded sleeping masks are made of cotton and never slip off. They are not padded but I don't want them to be. They cover my eyes without putting any pressure on my cornea.<br /><br />In conclusion, the Earth Therapeutics are not any better than generic sleep masks given to you on airlines. If you travel and need some sleeping masks, just get the ones that your airlines offer.
