resmed or ruby chin strap
Does anyone have advice about a style of chin strap? My DME carries those 2 types. I'm not actually sure at this point, but I may be trying it with the F20 or the N20.
currently trying airfit N30 (not i)

Re: resmed or ruby chin strap
a chin strap will not stop your lips/mouth from coming open when you sleep rendering it ineffective. try something homemade before wasting money on something that's not going to work

Re: resmed or ruby chin strap
I've used Ruby and Philips Respironics chin straps (but not ResMed). I prefer the Ruby as I find it more stable as it stays in place the whole night without needing to adjust it at night. I am a mouth breather and the Ruby chin strap seem to be most effective in preventing drying out my mouth at night. I've tried Transpore tape, Chin-up Strips, Somnifix, which seem to be less effective. I also tried 3 types of full face masks but that didn't prevent my mouth breathing. FYI I use a P10 nasal pillow.
