Stephanie I tried the tape and a cheap chin strap I have the ruby red or topaz style. It is cupped to hold the chin in one spot and it keeps the strap from slipping around while your sleeping. It is shown onnthe internet so cosider it with the nasal pillowsfrom swift...I am now content with the arrangement . so its up to you to try things out.

Hans Rudolph Masks

Post by dkeat » Sun Oct 23, 2005 3:09 am

[quote="Severeena"]The Hans Rudolph I use is a Full Face Mask.

What makes it so great is, small is small in the Ultra Mirage, Medium is Medium and Large is Large.

The HAns Rudolph head gear is like a cap, adjustable for comfort. You have the straps coming off of the cap and the straps are also adjustable.

There is a wide range of sizes with nose pieces to customize the mask for a better fit.

Leakage 0.14LS Mask excellent. I have not seen lower numbers with some of the other masks.

I hope this helps.

Mouth Breathing

Post by captcpap » Sun Oct 23, 2005 7:55 am

I did not read this entire thread so I'm not sure if this was mentioned. I gave up on the chin straps and ended up using "Chin Up Strips" made by the company that makes "Breath Right Strips". They did the trick for me and after using them for a few months I was retrained and stopped mouth breathing even without the strips.

I hope this helps.
