FAQs

Q:  I use a smaller (travel size) CPAP hose and the small loop that holds onto the hose is slightly too large.  What should I do?

A:  You can trim the length of the inside portion of the small loop that goes around the hose by 1/4 to 1/2 inch for a better fit.

Q:  Do I need to remove the arm band from the hose each day?

A:  No!  You can leave the arm band attached to the hose and simply slide it off your arm when you stop using your CPAP/BiPAP device. 

Q:  Can I wash my Vinco arm band?

A:  Yes, you can wash the Vinco arm band either by hand with a gentle detergent or in the washing machine on the gentle cycle.   We recommend that the hook and loop fastener overlaps completely before putting the band into the washer. 

Q:  Will my arm band shrink in the dryer?

Q:  My arm size measures in between 2 sizes or within 1 inch of the maximum length for a given size.  What size should I order?

A:  If your arm measures at or near the maximum end of the range for a given size, you should order the next larger size.  This will give you the most customizability and comfort.
