Question for the users of the Cpap cap.I received mine in the mail yesterday.Used it last night with good results.No dry mouth sessions over night and the leak rate was down.Now for the question.Today I am trying to use the small built-in straps like DreamOn talked about.I am using the Resmed Softgel masl(same frame as the Activa LT)When trying to adjust for good fit it seems like the Velcro is not strong enough to hold the mask onto the face.Anyone else having this trouble??
Asked my wife and she said she could put several stiches in to hold.

Re: Chin strap which style is best?
I've used the papcap with chin straps for two nights now........so by no means do I have much experience yet. The papcap is very comfortable from the beginning, but I found it's like masks......... I unfortunately have been "blessed" with a "sturdy" neck inside and out, and so the chin strap moved during the night....thus moving the mask and creating leaks...........not a pleasant experience.

Re: Chin strap which style is best?
Here is a recent thread on how to wear the papcap:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=47400&p=427973#p427973
I think using the 2 lower straps and attaching them to the nasal mask would be more stable than the velcro. I used the clips for quick on and off.

That red one looks like the one they sent me last time. It says "CardinalHealth reorder no. tms-09ADJ"
it's held up pretty well.
I was getting a khaki colored one by VIASYS, they stretched out pretty quickly.
