You shouldn't use Vaseline in your nose. The petroleum can be flammable from the oxygen. I didn't like the ear wraps, they wouldn't stay on (and I didn't think to try taping them). My oxygen provider has some cannulas with really soft, thin tubing that goes up around your ears. You should talk to your provider and see what's available.

I tried them they don't stay in place for me but maybe they will for you.
