RE: Mouth leaks getting worse, is FFM my only option?
I just got the Ultimate Chin Strap and it's working great for me so far. I think I've found the answer! I couldn't stand the thought of taping my mouth shut every night for the rest of my life, and the paper tape I was using lasted about half the night before the moisture from my mouth made it lose its grip. Also, if I had to get up for a drink of water I had to re-tape with new tape, which is a pain in the middle of the night when you would rather go straight back to bed! I don't believe the The Ultimate would work with a mask.
