How To Apply & Remove Chin-Up Strips

Refer to the diagram at right and scroll down the column below for full instructions and helpful hints.

1. First, apply the Cheek Tabs above the corners of your mouth (Fig. A).

2. Next, hold the Cheek Tabs in place with your index fingers (Fig. A). Use your middle fingers and thumbs to pull the Chin Section away from your lips. Then say the word "UP" and hold that position (Fig. B).

3. By saying the word "UP" your bottom lip moves upward, and the top of the Chin Section is then below your bottom lip (Fig. C). Now press the Chin Section onto your chin (Fig C).

4. Finally, gently press on entire strip to secure the strip to your cheeks and chin

NOTE: After application, your upper lip must be FREE to cough or take a drink. Yawns will be smaller. There must be a slight separation between your upper and lower teeth for sleeping. (Do not jam teeth together!)

HELPFUL HINTS

On the first use, to feel comfortable during sleep, we recommend applying the strip 20 minutes before bedtime. Perhaps while watching TV or reading.

If you are able to breathe comfortably during the 20 minute test period, you will then feel comfortable falling asleep with Chin-Up Strip applied. For most people, nasal airflow and breathing is easy during the test period.

For people who often experience nasal congestion during waking hours, we suggest using a Saline nasal spray during the test period (or at bedtime) to hydrate the nasal passages.

If you are unable to breathe comfortably during the test we recommend seeing an ENT specialist to correct your nasal breathing problems before using Chin-Up Strips.

Do not use Chin-Up Strips if you are allergic to adhesives used on medical tapes.

HOW TO REMOVE CHIN-UP STRIPS

For white strips, apply a warm, wet washcloth to the Chin-Up Strip for 20 seconds OR step in the shower and run warm water on the strip. Then peel off the strip.

For tan strips, simply peel the strip off slowly

MORE HELPFUL HINTS

If skin irritation occurs, apply medicated ointment to area.

For thin sensitive skin, you may want to apply medicated ointment to your skin area before applying the strip. Rub ointment into your skin until it is no longer slippery to the touch, and then apply the strip.

If removal is difficult, do not wash your face before application of the Chin-Up Strip.
