Aquaman

This classic DC Comics character not only offers a colorful spread, but a canvas for breathing masks galore.

(That is ensuring you can in fact breathe under water.)

An Anteater

Whether you choose to be the lovable cartoon version of Arthur or want to create your own brand of anteater, a CPAP mask provides the perfect starter set. Just point your tube to the ground and you’ll be on your way to eating ants on a pro level. And if you want to get really technical, bring along some raisins for “ant” snacks.

This costume is sure to have animal lovers of all kinds singing your praises.

An Escaped Surgical Patient

Pair your CPAP mask with a few bandages and a hospital gown and you’re a post-prepped surgical patient just waiting to go under the knife. Get a friend to dress up as your doctor, or fly solo for an original costume that will have friends laughing all night. Better yet, it’s a great excuse for a nap – just blame the anesthesia.

SCUBA Steve (or a generic SCUBA diver)

Everyone who ever saw Big Daddy was a huge fan of SCUBA Steve and his swimming abilities. Use your CPAP mask to recreate this hero action figure, or opt for a generic deep-sea diver. No matter the context, this is a great costume idea that will allow you to use your mask and your imagination for an entire night of fun.
