Different but great eye mask
I have a lot of experience with sleep masks. In fact, I am so used to sleeping with them that I cannot sleep without them now, even if I am in complete darkness. My husband likes to watch TV before he sleeps and I need complete darkness to sleep, so this is how I started using the eye mask and then this turned into a mandatory item for me to be able to sleep. I have many very soft sleep masks which I love, and I wasn't sure about this one when I purchased it. I slept with it a few times and I really like it. It is different from my other plush eye masks. It looks a little bit like a bra (in the sense that there is a little cup for your eyes to be completely open and blink inside the eye mask - as the product description states). So if you put this mask on, you can open and close your eyes as you want and all you see is darkness. There is a tiny little bit of light that comes thru the bottom near your nose if you sleep on your side, but really negligible (take it from someone who needs darkness + eye mask to sleep). In all the years that I have been using sleep masks, I have never had one like this, and I have to say that the experience was different and in a good way. I actually enjoy opening and closing my eyes while the mask in on my face and I find that it gives me a nice soothing feeling before I fall asleep. I am not sure I would have purchased this product if I had seen it in a store because it does not look soft at all (and I really like soft sleep masks). I am surprised to say that the product really works and is very comfortable. I am happy to add this to my collection and I do get a nice sound sleep when wearing it. I would definitely recommend to anyone who needs an eye mask to sleep like me.
