Anyone got any tips in how to keep a nasal cannula in place?

Other half is new to this and it keeps coming off, mainly whilst he’s asleep, even though it seems to be fitted quite tight.

Ask your supplier to bring the ‘soft’ cannulas for your husband. They conform better to the face , and then make sure it gets cinched snug under the chin. Best Wishes, judg69

I have the soft nasal cannula. The lovely technician gave me small ones as mine was slipping off. They must have different sizes. My oxygen supplier is Baywater healthcare. They are marvellous one phone call and they are here immediately. I have lots of spares also. Good luck. xxSheila 😘💕
