I have only gone through one other chin strap, one made by Respironics. The SP Medical chin strap is superior. It’s made from a higher grade of rubber, has more robust stiching and is very soft. Adjustable from two velcro closure points, this is a good product.

Reading some of the other reviews, it appears that some folks are buying this without knowing what the purpose of the item is. One reviewer wrote “the strap did not move my lower jaw forward.” Chin straps are not designed to move your jaw forward. He needs to buy a mandibular advancement mouthpiece/splint for that. Another reviewer appears to believe that a chin strap alone treats sleep apnea. It doesn’t. As he discovered, it just annoys you when you wake up gasping for air. What a chins strap does do is keep your mouth closed while using a nasal CPAP machine, thus reducing air leaking through the mouth. The alternative is to switch to a CPAP mask that covers the nose and mouth. If you are reviewing a chin strap, it would be very helpful to mention what kind of mask you are using and whether you are new to CPAP or switching from another brand of chin strap.
Another thing to keep in mind is that new chin strap users may need a few days to get used to the strap. Whatever you do, do not abandon your CPAP therapy. Untreated, sleep apnea leads to a miserable life and an early death. It took me weeks to get the right mask and chin strap and to get everything adjusted right. At times I thought that CPAP was a huge bother for very little benefit. Once I got settled in and used to this strange new equipment strapped to my head, it literally changed my life. Don’t give up.

This simple device really seems to have reduced my snoring. My husband is sleeping better and I believe I’m getting more sleep, too. The downside is getting accustomed to having that thing on my head.

I have had two problems with the Tiara Medical chin straps provided by my insurance company – my head was too small for the chin strap (it was supposed to be a one size fits all), and the loop-and-hook pads were worthless. THIS chin strap is awesome. I love it enough I am buying another to have on reserve. I am using this comfortably with a ResMed Mirage Swift Nasal Pillows System CPAP mask with no problems.
