A short length of Ace bandage.

I second and third the idea of an Ace bandage - I am getting one today! I HATE my Respironics Premium Chin Strap.

I used a headband temporarily as a chinstrap before I got a real chinstrap. It stretched out quickly, but I could shrink it back down in the washing machine.

Try a soft cervical collar instead. Most large pharmacies (drug stores?) carry them. I found it a big improvement over a chinstrap and they're a lot cheaper as well.

I ran out to Wally World and got a 4 inch Ace Bandage and tried it last night. Cost $1.98.
The Good: It worked BETTER and easier than the Respironics Premium Chin Strap I have been trying with my P10 Nasal Pillows. * It is easy to put on, and I could easily try several different ways to wrap it. * It stayed in place not slipping around and needing fiddling with during my flopping around at night. * My leak rate was lower over all and I experienced no mouth breathing events for the first time. * It is comfortable, no bumps, hard spots or scratchiness. * It is very inexpensive. I can buy ten Ace bandages for the price of the typical Chin Strap. (Or five cheap chin straps) The Bad: * It's warm. I am not sure if this will be a problem for me or not yet. It isn't hot, but it was warm enough to notice when I woke this morning. I am using the entire length of the Ace bandage, and I am still considering cutting it in half since it goes around twice - but that also might be why it works so well. * I lost one of the little clip things the first morning taking it off in the dark. I can say, if you are struggling with mouth breathing, this worked for me.
