Anyone used "ultimate chinstrap"?
Re: Anyone used "ultimate chinstrap"?
Just looked at the link. The neck strap alone would prevent me from using it. I have to be careful of mask headgear too that compress that area. I'd be in tears with pain.

Re: Anyone used "ultimate chinstrap"?
That's my fear too. I actually started this thread back in June, never did buy one. I've taken to taping and have learned how to do it so it doesn't irritate my skin (though I know there are safety concerns with taping). I also fear a full face mask for the same reason, straps pressing on my cervical spine....noooooo! I just received my double mouth guard from Century Martial Arts and will try that next as an alternative to taping.kteague wrote:Just looked at the link.

What kind of fabric are they using these days? At one time they had a durable fabric that was great (unfortunately the one I had was a tiny size), but then they switched this thing that basically looked like a rag with strings hanging off it within a couple of washings.TedVPAP wrote:I have used it for 1.5 years. I just ordered 2 more. Short of tape, it is the only thing that has work in controlling lip leaks. I still lip leak - but the UCS restricts the leak rate so it is low enough that I get proper therapy.
