Chin strap falls off back of head!

Post by muirwoodsue » Tue Sep 01, 2009 9:54 am

Hi Everyone.
My chin strap is just your basic under the chin, velcro at the top of the head. It's thin.
I have a nasal swift pillow.

My chin strap becomes loose at night or falls back.It really doesn't work for me. I have tired using a "do" rag from my motorcycle helmet, and also
hair clips. The do rag seems to "grip" the chin strap more.

I need one whole kit and kaboodle to keep my mouth shut (when I'm sleeping!) Any recommendations here?

Still using my machine faithfully since March 2009!
Thanks
Sue

I highly recommend the Deluxe - I use it every night:

Many find this one comfortable. I really like the design, but sometimes the fabric is too hot for me:

Other swear by the PAP CAP:

Good luck!
