.Better than the one provided by my insurance
Even though I was using a CPAP, I was still having breathing events each night and my mouth would be so dry in the morning. I had tried the only chin strap supplied by my insurance that was basically a strap over my head. I decided that even if I had to buy one myself, there had to be something better. In my internet search I found the PureSom Ruby ADJUSTABLE Chinstrap. It not only costs less than the one my insurance provided but was much more durable, comfortable, and effective. I have an internet app that records my mask fit, leakage, events, etc. each night. As soon as I started wearing the chin strap, the leakage was reduced drastically and my events dropped to no more than 2 to 4 per hour. (I was having 60 per hour in my sleep study) So, yes, I am very happy with the Chinstrap. In fact, this is my 2nd purchase. After 6 months, the velcro on the back does get worn from usage. But the material used on the one the insurance provided actually came apart after only 1 week. Not only is this a great price but, more importantly, the quality and durability of the material is excellent and it works.

.A must have chinstrap
After my doctor put me in one of their inadequate chinstraps, I search the internet for a better alternative. I purchase about different types and none of them came close to the Ruby Adjustable Chinstrap. The first one I purchase I used for about 10 months. Every few months I would have to adjust the chinstrap for a tighter fit as the neoprene material would stretch. Eventually, I could not make adjustments anymore and it was time to purchase a new. I felt as though I received my money's worth plus a little bit more with my first purchase. I recently purchased my second chinstrap and hope to receive the same quality as my first purchase. I really like the way this chinstrap fits, how comfortable it feels, and how easy it is to adjust. It almost seems as though my CPAP mask and headgear was made specifically to fit over this type of chinstrap. I am very pleased with my purchase.

.Too small (tight)
Random guess as to which size to order. If you buy satisfaction warranty and pay for return shipping it would raise the price by over 50%. And still you wouldn’t know if the other size fits. Need a better system for this type of product.

.Substantial Chinstrap. Works well for CPAP.
The chinstrap seems to be well made. The size adjustment can be made once and the chinstrap can be slipped on and off without releasing the velcro fastening subsequently. The strap is substantial and the "above and below" the ear design keeps the strap from slipping during the night. I use a nasal pillow mask and the chin strap does not interfere. The only downside of this unit is that the edge is closer to my lip, and a bit loose in that area. Not a big problem but it would be nicer to have less material or more conformal fit near the lower lip.

.Excellent design, terrible fit.
I purchased the Ruby Red Adjustable Chin Strap after trying several other chin straps. I could tell right away that it was the perfect design. I am sure that I was grinning from ear to ear when I opened the package. That is, until I put it on. It was way too tight. Nevertheless, I tried sleeping with it on several occasions. I would awaken after only an hour or so with a splitting headache. Additionally it would distort my face such that my nasal pillows would be tearing at my nostrils. I switched from a medium to a large size nasal pillow. It helped slightly, but not with the headache. Not one to give up so easily I ordered a second Ruby Red Adjustable Chin Strap, this time, the next size available, which is the XL size. This was an even bigger disappointment. It is way too large. The bottom line is that this chin strap should not be purchased without a professional fitting. Even though it claims to be adjustable, the actual adjustments that can be made are relatively minor. Major adjustments throw the whole thing out of proportion so it can't possibly fit correctly. The manufacturer should give instruction on what size face (and how to measure relative to the chin strap) that each size will fit. I think that I have an average size male head/face. The standard chin strap was too small and the XL too large. This doesn't even make sense. It is possible that one of their fixed (non adjustable) chin straps would fit me, but I am already $40.00 into it through internet ordering with nothing but a headache and sore nose to show for it. I'll have to wait till I can go somewhere and try one on.

.Good after a break-in period
Works pretty good after a break-in period of almost a month. I read others complaints about being too tight and needing a size larger. I see that they have revised the size notations, and removed the instructions for measurement of size since I purchased (did they also increase the numbers?). I measured 21+7/8", and I went to the next size larger (of 2), and found it very tight around the back of my neck, and had to loosen it to the point that the area near the hook material ("Velcro") was irritating my head as it was now exposed, due to the (loose) adjustment. I covered it at night with a piece of fabric for comfort. After 2-3 weeks it stretched out a bit and now the adjustment is as shipped and comfortable without the piece of fabric (but I have tightened the upper adjustment just a bit). II tried the adjustment as shipped at first but it made me sore - too much rearward pressure on my jaw. If you have a much bigger jaw around rear of head head measurement, I guess it would be too tight for you. Bottom line: Now I find it works pretty good, even with a mask that goes over both nose & mouth ("full" mask). Not looking forward to breaking in a replacement in a year or so. I just wish it didn't mash my hair down.

.Not all that pleased with this product
First of all the website here doesn't show you how to measure your head to determine which size you need to order. And after all this time since deliver (about 1 month) I think I may have been putting it on wrong because again the website doesn't show a back view of the chin strap. The way I have been wearing it made it seem way too small for me so I have the velcro out as far as it will go. But the other night I looked at this thing and thought what if I put it on this way. It seems to work just as well. I wish they could show you how to measure and how it's supposed to go on your head.

.Consumer
Purchased item for my 92yo mother who has been dislocating her jaw when she yawns. It works very well for this, offers support to prevent her from opening to wide. Cons: stitching on the chin support irritates her skin. Velcro is just glued on, within one week it came off. I will sew both Velcro straps on.

.This strap did not work for me in the way that I hoped it would
I purchased this chin strap in the hope that it would work a little better with the slightly pointy shape of my head than the one I have been using, which is effective, as long as it doesn't slip off the tallest point on my head (even if this review isn't useful to you, perhaps it will make you smile). I was disappointed in two ways: one way is that it did not come with pictorial instructions showing optimal positioning. The second way is that even after substantial fiddling, I could not come up with a way in which it both firmly clamped my mouth shut and did not choke me. I suspect this strap would be just fine for someone with a different shaped head. I just think you have to experiment with different options to see what will work for you.

.Helps my therapy but is uncomfortable
Immediately stopped mouth leak. It's what I needed. The problem I have is with the seam/tab on the back of the chinstrap. The hard plastic tab is exactly the same width as the piece it attaches to. If it's not aligned perfectly, as I tilt my head, it digs into my neck and doesn't feel very good. I've taken to biasing the hard plastic part up so there's a little cushion of the mating tab below. It is also really difficult to pull the tab up to release because the tab connects right up to the edge and there's no easy way to grab it I'd recommend a different attachment design.

My wife was in need of a chin strap that actually worked for her oxygen therapy. After having tried several from various sources, including the one from her equipment provider, we found the PureSom Ruby on the internet from Direct Home Medical. We ordered the smaller size based on the measurement procedure recommended. This one worked great, but was a little tight. We then ordered the larger size. While it is a little larger, we made adjustments to fit her comfortably, with no leakage. Now, she wouldn't use anything else. Also, the provider wasted no time in shipping these items. We received them in the shortest practical time. By the way, we kept the smaller chin strap as an extra.

The ruby red chin strap is adjustable and fits very comfortably with the Airfit P10 nasal pillow mask. This is my second chin strap and the life span is about a year with hand washing in mild soap.

.be sure to check the size
I've been using this strap for a couple weeks now, and it does exactly what I wanted--it keeps me from getting a dry mouth when using my CPAP. Unfortunately, I ordered a regular and should have gotten a large. I didn't see instructions for measuring, but I saw other comments that said there were some. I don't think of myself has having a large head, but the regular just barely fits, letting the adjustments out until they are barely connecting. The connectors are a velcro-type closure, but they aren't velcro--there are no hooks like velcro has. That is good, since they are in your hair, but I do wonder how long they will last. Still, at the price, if I have to buy one every year, it would be worth it.

.Curling ends
The straps work great for a while. Then the Velcro part on to of the head starts to curl backwards. Eventually it becomes a lump on the back of your head in the pillow. The Velcro looses its attaching ability, so it can't be just pushed in to place. I thing the solution it to mask the end longer so it wraps around the head more, not rubbing on the pillow. I've had two - same issue on each.

.Great chin strap
We finally found a chin strap that works!!! It is worth it to spend a few extra dollars for this chin strap.

.Puresom Ruby Chinstrap
I followed the instructions and measured my head as directed. According to the measurements I needed an extra large chinstrap. Well, it is much too big.

.A Must Have
This product should be given to everyone along with their first CPAP machine. It fit very well right out of the box, no adjustments needed. After the first night of wearing the strap I kicked myself for not buying it sooner. Every night since that first night has been a restful, full nights sleep. I highly recommend it without hesitation.

.Bulky and poor fit
This requires multiple adjustments, is rather bulky and did not seem like it would fit on my head comfortably

.Ruby chin strap
This chin strap is so much more comfortable and effective than the Black one I was given when I got my cpap. It stays in place and is just more comfortable.

.Ruby Adjustable Chinstrap - too large
I had read the other reviews about the small being very small so I bought the larger one. It is too big, but still works. The concept works better than what I had tried before because of my longer hair, they would just slip up. Wish I had started with the smaller one!

.Good chin strap
I like the strap - i ended up ordering and extra large because of the various reviews that it ran small, however, I should have ordered the regular sized one. This is big but because it is adjustable I can get it to fit satisfactorily.

.Too small for my big head.
I can't use it because it is too small. Or is my head too big? Either way, it's a tight fit.

.It works but...
This chinstrap will definitely keep your mouth closed but seems overly constrictive. With this chinstrap and a CPAP machine, you can sound like Darth Vader and look like Hannibal Lecter.

.Small and tight
I ordered the "standard" size, and it is almost too small. I'm right at the extremes of the adjustment and barely can get it attached. I don't have an overly large head either. The "standard" size might be better suited for teenagers and maybe some women.

.pursom ruby adjustable chinstrap
This is a very good product, however, it is quite hot on high temperature nights. I turned the ruby side to my face and found it to be cooler. The back section could be narrower - I have long hair and put it up a night and have to have it a little higher than I would like. I may do some personal modifications to it after I have fully trialled it. I would purchase the larger size next time as there is not much adjustability for me on the average size. Apart from that, it certainly does a good job of keeping my mouth shut.

.Best chin strap
This is the best chin strap that I have used with my cpap machine. It is comfortable and effective. I adjusted the tension once, and use the velcro in the back to slip it on my head easily every night.

The awareness of the chin strap makes it difficult to fall asleep. I am sure it must be OK when I am asleep.

.Check your head size
I thought being a woman, I would fit in a standard size. Well, no one in my house fit in it, even the kids. So, measure your head before buying because you can't return it. Otherwise, Direct Medical has always been a good place to buy from. Not their fault there are rules for returning Cpap equipment.

.Sleeping Tight
I have to use a chinstrap with my CPAP. I had one that was a single strap. It moved around all night I was able to open my mouth by 3 AM. The Ruby is excellent. It has two straps. A few seconds more to put it on, BUT!!! Once in place and firmly tightened to your comfort, it stays all night. Excellent product.

.Better than the cloth chin straps.
I would suggest that the strap that fastens over the head be a little longer. It's hard to fasten when you are doing it yourself.

.Inconsistent sizing
I have 2 of these already and love them. I purchased 2 more for backup since thyey stretch a bit over time. One is fine but the other is noticably smaller than the others. I am trying to break it in figuring that eventually it will also strecth but so far it's just squishing my face and giving me a headache. But the 3 others are still very good. Must have gotten abad strap.

.Fit Way Off
Just like ordering a wet suit over the internet. Sizing is a big problem. I ordered the adjustable chinstrap, but it is much too small even though according to the size chart it should fit easily. I'm not happy as I'll have to modify myself as it is much too tight. These things are made for a real pinhead.

.Item Runs Small
I purchased the same chinstrap over a year ago. Received this new chin strap at it's too small!! . . . I have a normal female size head but the standard size was too small to fit comfortably. Order the large or jumbo size if you have a normal size head. If your head is larger than the average beware that the larger size chinstraps may not fit. Purchase the warranty so you can return if it doesn't fit.

.Ruby Adjustable Chin Strap
This strap did not work for me. My entire family reported that I still snored while sleeping in a hotel room. I found that it moved off my chin which allowed my mouth to open. Additionally, even though I tightened it, it seemed to loosen during the night which allowed my mouth to open. When my mouth opens, snoring follows.

.Should have believed the bad reviews
Reviews of this chinstrap have often been critical of its fit. It is widely reported to be too tight. I am a small man and I wear a size 7 hat. The regular size Ruby is much too small. It is so tight that it causes almost immediate jaw pain. There is no way I could sleep in it. The fact that it is now described as adjustable encouraged me to give it a try. A bad decision and a waste of money. Very disappointing.

.stop snoring aid
"I am a mouth breather", that causes me to snore and also gives my dentist a problem,among other things. I wear a mouth piece at night for snoring but it does not stop me from breathing thur my month. The chinstrap helps keep my mouth closed, and i am relearning to breath with my nose, and sleeping better.

.PureSom Ruby ADJUSTABLE Chinstrap for CPAP Therapy
The PureSom Ruby ADJUSTABLE Chinstrap is the best chin strap that I have ever used. It fits just right, and is easy to get on and off. Simply adjust the back strap to fit you, and you are ready for a good night's sleep. Your wife or husband will be glad you are using it, because the snoring will be gone. I have used CPAP since 1987. I was one of the first to use one in Houston area to treat my obstructive sleep apnea. I would still mouth breath, which reduces the effectiveness of the CPAP. Buy one of these, you will be glad that you did. Paul

.really sleeping
I've tired MANY chins straps, the ruby is wider, a few issues with the velco... with all that said it works better than the others! It DOES NOT have that toxic smell when you get it out of the bag. (That toxic smell lingers even after washing with the other company straps) For my needs, the Ruby adjustable chin strap is a great product for the price and the customer service is excellent.

.wide straps
I found the straps to be a bit too much on the wide side. It actually covers quite a lot of my cheeks and chin area. It is not binding but I personally don't like that much covering my face - especially when I already have to have the cpap mask on it too. Other than that - it is comfortable and adjustable.

.Works fine, but size is off
My husband's measurement was right aroud 23" but the standard size was really too small. We just ordered a large, to see if it fits better. We were able to make it fit with some home modifications, but it doesn't stay on all night. When it is on, it does keep his mouth shut which helps the machine work better. He's also tried it by itself and that actually helps keep him from snoring even without the machine. He's getting a better night's sleep.

The standard size chin strap was too small for my husband. I was able to add extra material. The extra size was way too big . Since They cannot be returned I have had to improvise. I have found this is the only type chin strap that will work for him.I am happy with the product but the sizing seems to be way off

.PureSom Ruby Adjustable Chinstrap
I'm using the Ruby Adjustable Chinstrap. I use a full mask (Phillips FitLite full face mask). The Chinstrap appears to keep your jaw from slipping below the mask. However, the Velcro adjusting straps irritates your skin since there is no cover to keep the Velcro strap needles from coming in contact with you chin. I use toilet paper to keep the spikes from irritating my neck. You'd think the manufacture would solve this irritation problem.
