Barb,

The wide bandage does work (for the nasal mask), but I read that having it up on my chin pulls my jaw back, which can mess with the CPAP effectiveness. So I tried not to use it for awhile. Now I use the ACE bandage around my mouth (just around my neck below the ears with the top part coming over my lips by about 1/4 of an inch), AND the wide chin strap under my jaw. this seems to work well. Now if I could only get my FF mask to seal right...for those nights when my sinuses just aren't cooperating. But that is in a post on 107.

Thanks for your reply.

Kryan
