Mask strap slipping

Post by Cecioboe » Fri Jul 09, 2021 7:29 am

I go between 2 different masks. The Dreamwear Nasal mask strap that goes around the back of my head slips up when I toss and turn.
On my Airfit N30, the split straps also slip. I love both these nasal masks as they are comfortable and leak rate is low when the straps are in place. When the straps slip, the masks loosen too much and leak.
I'm not interested in changing masks. Any suggestions as to how to keep these straps from slipping?
TIA

Both possible solutions uses 3m coban tape.

FYI: Vetwrap costs a fraction of the Coban tape, works the same, and comes in colors.
I buy it at Tractor Supply in the equestrian aisle.
