I don't know who needs to read this but I am a mouth breather who sleeps with my mouth wide open, drool coming out and breaking the mask seal waking me up multiple times per night to adjust the mask and straps. Chin straps were uncomfortable and a joke. My nasal passages swell up if I use nose pillows so I have found masks like the ResMed AirTouch F30i and F & P Evora Full much more comfortable and I can still wear my glasses. But tightening them to stop leaking and prevent slobber from breaking the seal was making me wake up with skin irritation, strap marks, and even blisters! So I got this off Amazon and it has been a game changer! Instead of asking a chin strap to hold my jaw shut by cranking the velcro straps as tight as possible, I have full jaw and neck support that not only stops the drooling into the cushion but also prevents red marks and getting poked by the plastic inside the Airtouch F30i cushion. It is going to keep me single but so was wearing a PAP mask since age 35! I have been calling the mask birth control since that's essentially what it is but this was so cheap and helps me actually sleep through a whole night without getting blow outs by ASV!
I hope this helps someone else!
