Re: Chin Straps
I too am trying to find an acceptable chin support and have waded through all the discussions on the Ultimate Chin Strap. After doing so, I really have no idea what users REALLY think of the apparatus. I think the bottom line is if you have $60 or so to spare, order one and try it and if it doesn't work, send it back for a refund.MissPM wrote:Anybody ever use the Ultimate Chin Strap from Sleep Apnea Solutions?

johnnybee is right on.
It's hard to tell someone else that something will work for them.
My advise would be just like you said.If you have the money buy it as it's a good product.
If you don't like it send it back.

Re: Chin Straps
The UCS works very very well for me. Yes, it is a bit creepy looking, but it is the only thing that has worked to keep my mouth breathing down to nothing! Give it a try!

Re: Chin Straps
Not trying to hijack this thread...but I want to plug the PapCap chinstrap yet again. I got away from using it this summer because I was afraid it would make me too hot to sleep well. I had my yearly visit with the sleep doc yesterday (DOT regulations) and told him I occasionally had trouble with aerophagia...what would he suggest? And he said...chin strap. Kindof surprising....but he said it's something to do with making it harder for air to slip into your stomach if you mouth is closed....so I thought...what the heck, I'll give it a whirl. I've had pretty good numbers without a chin strap...usually around 1.7.....but last night not only did I have less aerophagia... I emerged with a .6 AHI. And I felt more rested too. I knew I felt better before I looked at the number.
So...if you're looking for a good chin strap....my vote is for the PapCap. For what that's worth...
