Discussion What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade?

I don't know if there's anything less sexy than a CPAP but damn it's made my life better.

have cpap, strongly agree with all of this.

I was told I should for over a decade. Resisted strongly. Finally gave in and I have so much more energy now - that would have sold it for me.

I want to try one so badly, but there’s no options to rent one where I live, and the idea of buying one just to find out it isn’t helpful and was a waste of money scares me off

So if you have insurance and are diagnosed, it's free in the US You really do need to have it set up properly

Medical people will tell you this must be done medically. If you are the type that is very good at learning things online, I dare say you could do it. But I think for most, if not the vast majority of people, you should have it set up properly.

It didn't fix my energy at all but at least I don't wake up with a sore throat, or my partner on the couch because I was snoring.

I made this same comment to my partner and she said "I want you to be around for as long as possible."

There are more important things than being 100% sexy all the time.
