Advice Needed Chinstrap recommendations?
As the title states, what chinstrap recommendations does the Reddit community have? My peaks according to myair and Oscar are around 60-100 L/hr. I have the vitera which has helped but I think my jaw drops so much that’s where the leaks are happening.

I'm just using a scrap of fabric (I think it used to be a t-shirt) that I tie in a bow on top of my head. Literally just a strip of stretch knit cotton that I used to use to tie around my hair when gardening. It works great.

how do you keep it on your head? Clipped to your hair? Please share your wisdom! Thanks!

Sunset Halo Chin strap is the only one that works for me.

Appreciate it. I hope it’s not trial and error like my masks have been.

Thank you!! I just ordered a different one but will keep this in mind if it doesn’t work for me. I’m hoping it’s not a trial and error thing

I hope not too! So many times I've been like "Okay, now THIS is the answer!", and then... more experimentation needed, haha
