Could Anyone Who Uses A One-side Cannula Like The Oxybreather Or One Of The Others Has Had Really Good Experience With It Staying In Place.

The only reason this is something I want to wear is I am a jewelry designer and
want to wear necklaces and pendants I have made or bought when I go out.
I have things I love and can't find a way to get them to look okay with the standard cannula I usually wear. Vanity yes but more like a part of my history and pride in something it took a lot of work and classes to be able to do, and I love to be able to wear my own designs.

Thanks @A MyCOPDTeam Member just yesterday I tried it backward with a clip to the back to my shirt, and it is pretty good. I'm actually wondering where I think I'm going, to add a necklace with what I'm wearing.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member there are some clips that can attach to your glasses and run the tubing up to your glasses and possibly down the back if that's better. Check on Amazon and you can order and try the oxybreather or clips and just return them if they don't work out. I just want to wear my damn jewelry around my neck it isn't rocket science πŸ™ƒ

Ali e Rose, thx for answers about clip. I would like to try the oxybreather but wear glasses & hearing aids so wonder if earpiece could handle all that. I am on ox 24/7 but am pretty active, using personal concentrator to go out.
