Chin Straps...Which is the most popular amoung users?

Post by atruvirgo » Sat Jun 30, 2007 2:03 pm

My DME sent me a Adam Circuit chin strap. It would make a nice headband but chinstrap??? I think not!!!! It slides off my head and doesn't hold my mouth shut (much to my husbands dismay ) so I guess they managed to not even fit that right! Oh well what's new??? Thansk goodness for Mask Roulette!!!

Presently I am using a Soyala Full Face mask with good results, but I have used the Tiara Ruby chinstrap with the Activa and the Soyala nasal mask, and it works great also.
The Tiara Ruby has to be selected by size, but I believe the Tiara Topaz is adjustable.

I have two, the beige Tiara (don't remember the model name) and the black Respironics. I prefer the Tiara because the fabric is softer and stretchier. The Respironics one gave me a headache, not as flexible. That said, neither keeps me from losing air through my mouth so I have to tape too.

Although I have not tried it myself (don't need to ), using an Ace bandage to mummify your head may prove more successful.
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

I got an Ace style bandage with velcro instead of clips in the foot section of Wallyworld. It has a picture of knee and ankle but give me about three spare inches around my chin/top of head. About $5

I just made a new post on the Respironics Premium and I like it so far.
