Come on! You've NEVER heard of Barnabas Collins on the old Dark Shadows tv series, played by Jonathan Frid?

It was a joke, as it can't be him.

This is the best chinstrap EVER:

https://www.cpap.com/productpage/breath ... strap.html

which I wear with my Dreamwear every night. I put the chinstrap on first.

Actually it's the only chinstrap I can wear, and I've tried many. The others all pop off my head or shift or just don't work.

I use a Ruby chin strap over my Dreamwear every night. There is no chance of it ever being tight enough to compress the sides enough to impede the airflow. In fact, it helps hold the headgear in place and helps me get zero leaks most nights.

I could not stand chin straps--the pressure gave me a splitting headache.
I used half of a poli grip strip, cut in half again lengthwise,
so each piece is about 1" x 1/4".
Those go between my wet lips, with a quarter inch gap in the middle.
This was good for a few months, until I realized my mouth was staying shut by itself.
