n10 resmed mask and chin strap

Post by little green turtle » Mon Feb 15, 2021 9:29 pm

I want to do something different, without a chin strap. Has anyone changed from something like a N10 and chin strap to a mouth and nose mask? If so how do you like it? Or what would folks recommend? Don't like nasal pillows.

little green turtle says thank you for your thoughts. I have only had 1 mask (the N10) and used a chin strap for 6 or 7 years now. My chin strap is the red one. I can no longer keep it in place. And when my mouth is open I snore. So I was very interested in what you said about a full face mask. I thought the full mask would resolve the open mouth problem, but that does not sound like that would be the case. As for the knightbridge chin strap, it is way more than what I want on my head. Will have to think about that. But again thank you for your input.

A lot of folks here like to use a cervical neck collar, as it holds the chin up, helping with problems like mouth breathing. I have seen this one suggested by many, as it is apparently comfortable and inexpensive:
