Chin strap question

Post by dwbeagle » Thu Dec 28, 2006 8:47 am

I am currently using the Deluxe chin strap but the wide width cuts into my neck so I have to fold it over.

Has anyone tried the Ruby chin strap and does it work/feel better? I am comtemplating using one of these and sewing it to the headgear of my mask to keep the headgear from shifting during the night.

Thanks, Doug

Doug,

I don't use either, but I'd think a pair of scissors would solve your problem and keep you from "folding".

I starting using the Ruby Chinstrap a few weeks ago, and I absolutely love it!
I'm glad I didn't give up on chinstraps before trying this one, and best of all I don't have to tape my mouth when using a nasal mask.
There are three sizes available. I chose small, because you want it nice and snug.

This site has a sizing guide, although it's not the lowest available price:

I have used the Ruby chin strap a few times but have had a bad jaw ache the next day that lasted several hours. I have also tried small pieces of tape on sides of mouth but that didn't always work. I don't use anything now and seem to be okay. Try the Ruby strap though, it is comfortable and the jaw ache might just be my problem. Good luck!
