Re: FYI, Soft Hose Cannulas...wonderful

[Guest guest]

Hi Joan, I have been using soft hose for over 4 years. I was lucky enough to find them when I first was put on 02. I took some with me for the members that met in Orlando. They sent me some to give out. I just love them. I am high leader now but still use them up to 5L the main thing is for sleeping. Just so much more comfy. Their high flo cannulas.. are to heavy for me and the nose prongs are the same size.. I have ask if they can make them a littlebigger but haven't heard from them. I also have one of the 50 ft. hoses and it is very heavy. Doesn't twist but heavy .I am glad for you. I know you will love them.

Hi all - First, let me say that I have no attachment to this company at all, I just found them on the web while surfing.

Joan

Peggy and some others are softhose customers and fans. I love the

cannulas except he washes them in dishwasher liquid to remove the odor

or did at the time I ordered some. My allergies wouldn't allow me to

then use it as the fragrance was too much for me. But the cannulas feel

great.

Re: FYI, Soft Hose Cannulas...wonderful

SherPeggy gets them from the same company. I responded because she mayalready be headed to Kentucky. It's a small company but veryaccommodating.>>>> Hi all ->> First, let me say that I have no attachment to this company at all,I just found them on the web while surfing.
