Product Description
The SP Medical Adjustable CPAP Chin Strap This easy-to-use chin strap is the top choice because it is easy to use, has a secure fit and it's COMFORTABLE! No guessing on sizes because it is adjustable.
There are adjustable straps at both the crown of the head and at the base of the neck. This chin strap is great for mouth breathers. The Adjustable chin strap is intended for use by adults to help prevent some of the nasal and oral drying that can occur during Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and bi-level therapy. The Adjustable chin strap helps to prevent air flow leaking from your mouth by holding your chin in a stable position which encourages breathing through your nose.

Understanding the purpose of a chin strap,
By
This review is from: SP Medical Adjustable CPAP Chin Strap (Health and Beauty)
Reading some of the other reviews, it appears that some folks are buying this without knowing what the purpose of the item is. One reviewer wrote "the strap did not move my lower jaw forward." Chin straps are not designed to move your jaw forward. He needs to buy a mandibular advancement mouthpiece/splint for that. Another reviewer appears to believe that a chin strap alone treats sleep apnea. It doesn't. As he discovered, it just annoys you when you wake up gasping for air. What a chins strap does do is keep your mouth closed while using a nasal CPAP machine, thus reducing air leaking through the mouth. The alternative is to switch to a CPAP mask that covers the nose and mouth. If you are reviewing a chin strap, it would be very helpful to mention what kind of mask you are using and whether you are new to CPAP or switching from another brand of chin strap.
Another thing to keep in mind is that new chin strap users may need a few days to get used to the strap. Whatever you do, do not abandon your CPAP therapy. Untreated, sleep apnea leads to a miserable life and an early death. It took me weeks to get the right mask and chin strap and to get everything adjusted right. At times I thought that CPAP was a huge bother for very little benefit. Once I got settled in and used to this strange new equipment strapped to my head, it literally changed my life. Don't give up.

This review is from: SP Medical Adjustable CPAP Chin Strap (Health and Beauty)
I have only gone through one other chin strap, one made by Respironics. The SP Medical chin strap is superior. It's made from a higher grade of rubber, has more robust stiching and is very soft. Adjustable from two velcro closure points, this is a good product.

90% relief from dry mouth from CPAP machine use using chin strap,
By Bonnie "Bonnie" (Miami) - See all my reviews

This review is from: SP Medical Adjustable CPAP Chin Strap (Health and Beauty)
I am a 56 yr old woman who was having problems with a very dry mouth that interrupted my sleep when I used my CPAP machine. I had "invented" a chin strap from an old ace bandage before investing in a real chin strap. This invention helped but would not stay in place all night long. The SP Medical Adjustable CPAP Chin Strap looked like the best offer for the price. The design led me to believe that it would stay in place and do the job all night long and it did. I would recommend that anyone who opens his or her mouth during CPAP use and has problems with dry mouth, should try this product. 95% of my dry mouth problem is solved when I wear it and it helps with my compliance with using my CPAP, so my dr. is happy. Sweet Dreams!
