Yes nasal cannula. I use a tiny piece of duct tape to keep the ear wraps in place.

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.
