Awkward fit; presses onto nose too much, making for a very uncomfortable fit
I bought this eye mask for my occasional headaches and daytime naps.<br /><br />WHAT I LIKE:<br />- the cord is quite long - 72" or 6 feet which is perfect if you fall asleep, so that it gives you enough leeway tossing and turning and not getting entangled with the cord<br />- the cord attaches to the mask magnetically - in case you DO get entangled, it easily snaps off (but it is also a big CON... read below)<br />- the material seems to be of high quality and it is padded, which feels very soft to the touch<br /><br />WHAT I DISLIKE:<br />- the mask comes only in a box, not a pouch. I do not like stuff like this to be in a box that could get smashed, waterlogged or otherwise damaged. A dedicated pouch with a string as a hanger would be much more practical<br />- the temperature switch (on the cable) is very touch sensitive - this might be a defect of my particular eye mask: when I set it on HIGH, and I just lightly move the cord by the magnetic attachment, it will turn off entirely. So in order to not disrupt the heating, I have to set it on MEDIUM or LOW for it to work (because everyone moves around a bit....)<br /><br />AND MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT:<br />- the mask stays on 15 minutes at a time, which in my opinion is a very short time - it should be longer!<br />- THE DESIGN IS WRONG! No matter how I shift the mask, the cutout shape for the nose is too small meaning the mask is sitting either mostly on the top of my eyes and I can peek from under the mask and see daylight (and my nose is nicely cleared), or I push it over my eyes, and then the mask and its padding pushes onto my (rather large, I admit) nose and sinuses and makes wearing it VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.<br />I have to say, my head is truly somewhat larger and so is my nose, so this discomfort might be due to the proportions of my face features, I don't know....<br /><br />So all in all, mostly because of the awkward design and therefore the uncomfortable fit, I hardly ever use this mask.<br />Wasted money for me, but this could probably be a good fitting mask for someone who has a more delicate face with a smaller nose, and whose cord isn't too touch-sensitive where it just shuts off....
