ResMed CPAP Chin Strap

I received a genuine Resmed strap. Built well and works well. I have bought others similar, but they don't seem as well made and heavy duty as this strap. Chin portion I find comfortable and don't feel I need to put any thing on my chin first to stop marks. Holds well and I have not had a problem with slippage.I noted about checking supplier. Seems like there are negative reviews on this product based on people ordering and not getting a genuine Resmed strap, but rather a generic one. If you look, this seems to mainly one supplier doing this. Just avoid that supplier. The strap I received was genuine and sealed in the original Resmed package.Pleased.

When I started CPAP treatment I'd wake up with my mouth open and the CPAP air coming out therefrom. Also detected by poor mask fit scores from the machine's monitoring. This strap works as advertised to keep my pie hole shut and the air in. Note that you'll want to add this to the list of CPAP bits that get a weekly cleaning.

Extremely itchy, rough and uncomfortable fabric. It irritated my chin so terribly after trying for two nights that I gave up. I even tried lining it with cotton to avoid the irritation that it caused on my chin. It also slides all around on top of my head since it only has one strap on top to keep it in place. The fabric is very rough on one side and a little softer on the reverse side. I tried both ways. Unfortunately, the softer side still itches has huge thick seams where it’s sewn. Very poor design. Didn’t keep my mouth closed either. Will return.

Nice to find this chin strap from a reputable brand of CPAP products. Fits my chin well and adjusts easily with a simple velcro strap.A little pricey for what it is, but we'll see if being a Resmed item translates into durability. I'll update review if it proves not.UPDATE: I found the flaw in this single strap chinstrap: it slides around, both forward and backwards. Seasoned CPAP users know this which is why many of them use more substantial double strapped versions.HOWEVER, if you're using a CPAP device with hose connection on top of the head (e.g. Resmed Airfit 30i or AirTouch 30i, Dreamwear etc) AND you have long enough hair to put it in a top knot, a simple solution to this strap's sliding is to fasten it between the top knot and the upper frame of mask on the top of your head. Stays in place. Easy Peasy. See picThe hair top knot also keeps the top frame from sliding back -- a common complaint of the top hose masks.Two birds one stone (strap).

This seems great in concept but either it doesn't work with my mask style or I have an oddly shaped head that a strap won't stay on. Decent quality but I just can't get it to work for me.

I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea and use a Bi-Pap machine and I have been looking for something that would help me to keep my mouth closed so I wouldn't keep getting dry mouth. And plus it's from the same Company that I got my machine from, so it's a win for me.

The first one I bought was a counterfeit knockoff. It was not made by resmed. It didn't look like the resmed model and did not come with the resmed documentation. It came with no information at all. It was cheaper looking and stretchy. Watch out for that. The second one I bought was authentic resmed. This specific chin strap does not work for me. I think I have a normal shaped head. It seems just ineffectively designed. When I put the strap around me head and just above my ears it stays for a little while but then starts sliding forward on me head. As is slides it loosens up and then doesn't do its job. The only way I can position it to not move is to put the strap straight over my ears. Obviously that's not comfortable and I won't wear it that way. I'm going to purchase a different design that goes around the ears. This one looked less intrusive which is why I bought it. But unfortunately it didn't do the job for me.

I’m on Cpap therapy and still struggle with mouth breathing. This strap helps keep my mouth closed to help optimize my therapy. My mouth on occasion will still fall open even with the strap on, but it helps trigger me to close my mouth and breathe through my nose. It’s a good alternative if you do not want to wear a full mask.
