Halo Style Chinstrap

This product was the most comfortable and easiest to fit and wear of all the others i have tried before. The only drawback is that the loops for the chin straps will not last more than 3 months. The loops are under constant pressure to secure under the chin to keep the mouth shut during sleep, they elongate and are about to tear open rendering the devise useless. Those loops should be better reinforced. This would make the product last longer and be more suitable at this cost. The cost now with what you get is a bit much.

Wanted to like it … thought the Halo design would be appropriate for the situation… very advanced age parent that sleeps with open mouth… which causes a severe congested chest and all the related complications… but… yes there is always a but…It didn’t last two weeks…It’s because of it’s pressed glued design and fell apart at the Velcro fasteners … where the glue failed…I know it was less expensive than other options but I was hoping for a little more usage than that.

The first night I used it, by 3 AM, the strap had already stretched out of shape and the unit was coming off my head. Alos, there is NO adjustment on the straps, that's stupid, if it was adjustable, I could have made it fit, instead, it went tinto the trash can.UPDATE.... After the first night, I decide to look closer at the straps and I did find that there was velcro, so I was wrong at the first comment, it is adjustable, and I am still using it.

I purchased this to use as I use a CPAP machine for sleep apnea. It does keep your jaw/chin from dropping open. Would definately work if you are purchasing for snoring. It's light and comfortable with easy adjustment for tightening/loosing. I personally like that hair/pony tail can go through the crown opening which also helps to keep in place. The only issue I have had is the chin piece is definatly designed for chin only. With that, with the air pressure of my CPAP, my lips are not always held shut enough. Other straps I've used come a bit higher toward the lips with have helped in that area. That said, those with the higher option also leave more face indentation. Good option if you don't have a high pressure on your CPAP.

I was told by the sleep study people to get this for my son. Well I should have looked at reviews as it broke just like everyone is saying in the pics. The little Velcro tab came off after about 5 uses. I got some adhesive Velcro and tried to fix it as there seem to not be any good options on Amazon.

The idea is there, but the application is not. After wearing this chin strap for a couple weeks, I decided to go back to my original strap. This design needs to have adjustment features for the top "Halo" straps. I have a large sized head and so the top straps do not adjust far enough away from each other, so during the night, they tend to pull toward each other to the point where, in the morning when I remove my CPAP mask, this strap falls off with it. It does not fit securely throughout the night. For the record, my hat size is 7-3/4 inches.

I am new to using a CPaP machine. 2 November 2016 was my first night with the ResMed AirSense10 AutoSet. I'm using the Swift FX nose pillows which are awesome! I have never been one to sleep with my mouth open but after my first night with my CPaP, I awoke to the driest throat/mouth ever! I immediately went to my home medical store and reported my problem; upon which time they game me a chin strap. Ugh! Didn't work and after 3 nights of the worst dry throat/mouth combo and having to readjust the chin strap due to slipping, I searched on Amazon. I found this Halo Chinstrap and decided to give it a try. It seemed to take forever to arrive because I was suffering but in actuality it took about 7 days. So excited when it finally arrived! I have been using it now for a couple of weeks and I am very satisfied with the results! I've only had a couple of small incidents of "choking" on my saliva but that's from getting use to the CPap and not the halo chinstrap. The halo chinstrap allowed for (sorry this is gross) my saliva to exit my mouth without having to remove the strap to regain my level of comfort. It hand-washed beautifully using Ivory dish soap and air drying! I had to adjust the Velcro strips quite a bit to fit my face but it is very comfortable and does not leave impressions nor does it interfere with my ability to communicate, breath, or sleep. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best thing since PB & J! I plan to order at least 1 more if not 2 because when I find something that works, I want extra's on hand because I hate change! I highly recommend this halo chinstrap! However, if your face is very small to small, you might have to make some hand sewn adjustments. My face is round and fat LOL and I have the straps pulled as far as they will go. J/S Other than that . . . it's perfect for me!!!

UPdate: I ordered the Breathwear Halo strap from the Breathwear website to compare the differences. The one I received from Amazon is definitely not a Breathwear. It came in a clear plastic bag and has no markings on it, and quality is clearly sub-par. The one I received today from Breathwear came packaged in breathwear logo'd plastic, and has a clear and distinct Breathwear markings on the chin strap. Not sure why Amazon is allowing this to be labeled as a Breathwear Halo Strap.I've had several BreatheWear chin straps over the past several years that I bought from Amazon. They have been comfortable and effective compared to other chin straps. However, this last purchase I received was not the same as the others I have purchased. It looks like a cheap immitation, and does not feel or perform like what I am used to. There are no markings on the strap, whereas my others all had the BreatheWorks name on it. If in fact these are knock-offs, then I would not risk buying one. I'm now looking at cpap supply sites to try and find the authentic ones. Prices are higher, but I'm willing to pay it to get authentic.
