Keeps mouth shut but can't get comfortable
I haven't made up my mind about this product. It does a great job of keeping my mouth shut, but I struggle to get it adjusted just right.<br /><br />The first night or two, the front slipped down over my eye brows. I could pull it back, but this would wake me up, etc. Also, the side edge of the cap rubbed along my ears, which was irritating. I folded the front and side edge up inside the cap and fastened it with masking tape. Worked fine for a week until I noticed that the glue on the tape had melted and slimed the cap and my head. I finally got the glue off, but I frankly don't recommend this method. No. Not at all.<br /><br />In the midst of all this, I used four safety pins along the top of the cap from front to back to take up some of the fabric so that the sides wouldn't rub my ears. It worked, but it felt like I had lost some stability and that the cap was getting to be more like a piece of fabric strapped to the top of my head than a cap. I removed them when I de-slimed the cap just so I could start over with a &#34;clean&#34; cap.<br /><br />And then there are the side straps. Like the bottom cap edge, the back edge of the straps rubbed my ears. If I repositioned them forward, they would pull the cap down in front (see above). Still, the loop patch on the straps barely overlapped the hook patch on the cap. It held, but perhaps the patch on the cap should extend further back.<br /><br />The hook patches being so far forward might indicate that I need a larger size (is there one?) so that they would be further back and match up with the loop patch on the straps; however, the cap sides being so low indicates that maybe I need a smaller cap. I'll probably try wearing it again, but I my home-made chin strap, although not perfect, works better.
