ACE Bandage Keeps Slipping

Posted by Kryan1066 on November 27, 2002 at 09:33:50:

Someone here (Barb?) started using an ACE bandage around their mouths to keep air from escaping when using the nasal mask. I implemented that, but it only works in conjunction with my 3-inch wide chinstrap. That works, but I am afraid the chin strap may be pulling my jaw back, exacerbating the problem. Other that that hte combination works very well. I tried just using the ACE bandage by itself and it kept slipping down over my chin. The problem is that stretching it around my head to cover my mouth doesn't work because the back of my head is sloped (as I would assume most people's would be). Barb, how do you keep the think on?

Thanks.

Kryan
