Broken clips on cpap headgear

I have no problem actually wearing/using my cpap mask. But I get up several times to go to the bathroom, so take the headgear on & off a few times every night. I clip and unclip the lower hooks of the headgear. alternating sides but they still wear out and break. While waiting for a replacement, I'm wearing the mask hooked on one lower side only and laying on the other side to try to hold the mask on. Taping it in place hasn't been very successful. Beside the inconvience, the ins. co. doesn't have replacement clips and only replace the whole headgear I'm afraid that they are going to quit covering replacements due to costs. It would be so much cheaper to just have extra little clips, but that would be to easy Anyone else have this problem? Or is it just me?
