Swift FX moving with chin strap

Post by fmj13 » Sun Oct 27, 2013 11:09 am

Hello, I want to thank everyone for their helpful posts the last few days. I would like to see if I can get things better with the Swift FX before I buy an expensive ffm out of pocket.

I am having a problem: In addition to the Swift FX, I currently use a Respironics chin strap. Unfortunately, they both have straps at the back that go in the same spot. I know the chin strap moves and then the back strap of the Swift FX moves with it and I get leaks. I am thinking of buying a Topaz chin strap, hopefully that will alleviate that problem. I am a side sleeper. I also plan on buying stuff from padacheek. Would a hosebuddy help? Any thoughts?


Thank you.
