How does this do with long hair and Velcro? Previous attempts w Velcro closure result in tangled mess in the AM. Also am side sleeper- works?

The velcro is overlapped so that you can't get it tangled in your hair. I am a side sleeper and it works just fine. I have medium long hair and have no problem.

The Velcro straps wrap onto themselves..the strap around the back of your hair will not have Velcro on it. The mask sits low on your head so you could also do a ponytail above the wrap. Either way I think this will work just fine. Side sleeping..well, it may move of course, but less likely as this is a larger product than others I have tried. It sits well onto the nose which also tends to keep it in place. Worth a try!

sorry it took so long to respond. I don't have long hair but i don't have any issues with the velcro. If you keep it loose then i don't see why you would have issues on back or side. Most important for me is that its comfortable and doesn't cover your nose. Honestly though, my favorite one so far is from REI.

This mask works well with long has as my hair is very long--I adjusted the size that fit my head perfectly and never take it apart each time-just slip it on and off to sleep.

To answer your question I had my wife try it on. She said it should be hard to get your hair caught in the Velcro. The sleep mask is as wide at the back as it is in the front. The Velcro is much thinner than the sleep mask. The Velcro strip is long for a lot of adjustment possibilities. My recommendation is to try it. This mask is made in Vegas (if I remember what the president of the company said). If you don't like the mask, they should be willing to return it. The president of the company e-mailed me twice after I bought mine. She was polite and asked me to write a review. Hopefully I have been helpful. Good luck sleeping!

I have a large neck too and this fits well around my neck. The velcro closure is long enough to allow adjustment. You can make it snug or a bit loose. It fixed my neck issue within a few weeks. I had forgotten about it until this question. It fitted me well.

I sleep both ways and have not had a problem because I have a fluffy pillow. Make sure not to adjust the strap too tight!

I use it with my 3 inch velcro rollers. Just be sure that you run it on low heat, and the slowest speed. I have long hair so it doesn't really give me the effect I want. I have to run it for longer than 20 minutes

No Velcro. It's a really large heavy pad. I'm not sure how you could hold it to your head. Maybe the smaller size would be better. The soft cover is removable. You might be able to adapt some attachments to the cover. Maybe tie some extra long shoelaces around it to hold it to your head.

Yes, when you are lying down. I sleep on my side and these are perfect. To get the effect you want, try the velcro attachment in different ways.

I'm sorry to hear about that! Amazingly, my pup still has his and no issues. If it were me, I'd head out to the craft store or fabric store with the velcro and tag in hand and tell the clerk what I wanted to do and ask for their ideas. I've purchased velcro separately in the past for other projects, so I know it's available. Good luck!

I can relate! I had to roll the very tight to my scalp and try to lean my head back so that they wont flip to my face and fall. It is either my hair is not long enough for these rollers for the clips to hold or I need bigger clips for this job. However, while using these rollers, I managed to roll my hair, trying to achieve an inwards curl, by fixing the clip holders towards my scalp, parallel or next to my scalp. Not keeping the clip holders on top, but placing them under the roller. I hope that made sense! Another good idea is using youtube for some good tips. At least you will get a visual guide instead.

I am using this pillow in an unusual way to sleep - I curl up inside it and straighten out the edges, so that it wraps around me. I have to hug another smaller pillow to make sure that my top arm doesn't get uncomfortable, but it is working really well so far! Neither arm has fallen asleep in the 5 nights I've used it, and I haven't had any leg cramps either. Hope that helps.

I actually didn't use mine that long. All I threw it away about a month later because It became stiff & tangled. I was too scared to dye my closure because I wasn't exactly sure about it but the stiffness gave me the answer I needed.

Hi! Yes, I have worn it many many many nights while sleeping. In fact, I just spend 3 months wearing it all the time, except when bathing. It made a major difference, was not uncomfortable at all. In fact, just this minute returned from the doctor and he has given me the complete "green light", meaning my damaged ligament is 100% healed now and I no longer have to wear the brace at all. THIS IS what did the trick and allowed the ligament to heal completely. Go for it!

My daughter doesn't complain but I see her struggle with it and then simply use her right hand. Found this thread while trying to figure out how to rig it up for her. I just used a round hairband (like a rubber band) and extended it out. It seems pretty sturdy - we are traveling with it so if it holds up I will let you guys know.

I love it for long hair!! It's a bit hard to get my very back pieces, but it looks great.

Not sure why....but I'd try holding the thing at different angles and going in different directions. Or wait until the hair is longer. But I've had success with it with short hair. So don't give up.

I have very long hair and it doesn't seem to snag on mine. I also have naturally curly hair so it is hard to find a good flat iron and I really think this one works great! :)

I used it with gDiapers without any problems. The day my daughter learned to roll over, she started sleeping on her stomach. I clipped it to the back of her gDiaper and it worked perfectly.

Elizabeth, may I ask how it's working out for you - IF - you are using this? I am very petite also, and am wondering how it will work, especially since it's pre-tied in the back? (if I'm not misunderstanding descriptions ;)Any further explanations and tips about how it works for you, would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance! Blessings... :)
