Adjustable Neoprene Chin Strap

The adjustable chin strap allows the user to change the fitting specifically to the user's head size. The sizing is determined by measuring the length directly from the chin to the crown of the head. These chin straps come in length sizes: 6in (Small), 7in (Regular), 8in (Medium), 9in (Large) or 10in. (XL). Please Note: This product is only available in select sizes with limited quantity available.

The chinstrap is made of a neoprene fabric which keeps it comfortable along the chin and the mouth closed while the CPAP pressure is being provided.

Positive air pressure from a CPAP or Bi-Level machine will sometimes make the user's mouth slightly open. When this occurs, some of the pressure that is being provided will force its way out of the mouth, making the throat dry in the morning.

The chinstrap is used with a nasal pillow or nasal mask as a last alternative prior to the user going to a full face CPAP mask.

Why Use a Chin Strap?

Are You a Mouth Breather? If you wake up with a dry mouth or throat, it may mean you are mouth breathing, and a chin strap can help keep your mouth shut.

High CPAP Pressures Cause Air Leakage: A partner may notice air escaping your mouth, or you might experience snoring. A chin strap helps maintain a proper seal by preventing this.

Mask Stability: It can help stabilize a CPAP mask or prevent you from taking it off while partially asleep.

How to Use a Chin Strap

The Right Fit: Ensure the strap is snug but not too tight. Overly tight straps can cause discomfort, breathing issues, jaw misalignment, or make TMJ symptoms worse.

Facial Hair Users: If you have a beard, you may need a larger size with a bigger chin cup and wider straps.

Ask Your Doctor: A doctor or sleep specialist can help determine if a chin strap is appropriate and can address any underlying issues, like nasal congestion that makes it hard to breathe through the nose.

Chin Strap Warnings

Must Be Used with CPAP: A chin strap is not a treatment for sleep apnea on its own. It must be used with a CPAP machine.

Possible Side Effects: Discomfort, jaw soreness, or skin irritation can occur. If the strap causes pain or breathing difficulties, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
