Barb,

Do you mean you wrap the Ace bandage around your head and neck horizontally?

Or do you wear it "vertically", over the top of your head and under your chin?

You mentioned you wear it over your mask -- what kind of mask do you use?

I use nasal pillows, Breeze.

Last night I did a two-fer -- one of those women's elastic headbands horizontally, so it covered my my mouth, and another one vertically, over the top of my head and under my chin. It worked pretty well -- no drool!
