One link to the cotton cpap-chinstrap is here

I gave up using nasal masks after 3 months and went to full face mask as I breath through my mouth even during the day … never seem to get enough air. I don't think super glue would work. :lol: Sleep well with full face mask and leak via mouth only causes dry mouth … good mouth wash (Biotene?) for dry mouth works to ease dry mouth.

I’ve been using a scunci headband into which I cut a 3-4” length-wise slit to mimic the P10 headgear. I find this works quite well and stays on my head. I’ve been using this in conjunction with a P10. Hope this helps.
Great idea! I "borrowed" a couple from my wife and tried one on - it's comfortable. I'll try it out and post the results.
