Chin Up Strips

Post by captcpap » Sun Jan 09, 2005 3:59 pm

Has anyone used these chin up strips? Are they effective? http://www.cpapman.com/chnstrps.html (you'll have to scroll down about halfway.)

I'm a mouth breather at night and tried the Puritan Bennett's Adams Circuit Chin Strap. It doesn't seem to stay tight all night. Has anyone had success with other chin straps? It appears that there are several varieties available.

Thanks for everyones help. This forum is a lifesaver !

I tried the basic strap that's supposed to cure snoring and even APNEA by itself along with my CPAP to try to stop mouth breathing. Seemed a bit helpful at first but pretty quickly streached to where it was useless.

Dunno about th eones designed for specific CPAPS.

i used them several years ago. I thought they helped. I think they have a new one which does not smart as much to remove. I believe they helped retrain me for several years. I have been planning on ordering more but have been procrastinating for a while.
