Chinstrap for use with OptiLife

Post by hgli2005 » Thu Nov 08, 2007 2:34 pm

Just started using the OptiLife Nasal Pillow mask and am generally pleased. I think I need to try a chinstrap to keep the old mouth closed. Anyone have a reco for a strap that would work well with the OptiLife?

Velstretch strap about 1" wide--from the velcro fastener display at Lowe's or Home Depot. You can use it as is--or sew it to the headgear. Just make sure that in sewing it to the headgear you don't put too much of a downward pull on the pillows when the chinstrap is tightened.
