Common questions
Does it seal my mouth shut?
No. A vent runs through the centre of the strip, so air can always pass. It works as a reminder to keep breathing through your nose, not as a seal.
What if my nose blocks up in the night?
You breathe through the vent. That is the main reason the tape has a hole in it. If it happens often, that is what nasal strips are for.
Is it safe to sleep with tape over my mouth?
Ours is designed for sleep, with a vented centre, and it holds lightly enough to come off at any point in the night. Do not use it if you cannot comfortably breathe through your nose. If you have breathing difficulties, asthma or a blocked nose, speak to a healthcare professional first. Skip it on nights when you are unwell, congested or have been drinking.
Can I talk or drink with it on?
Yes, muffled. You can also drink through a straw, and you can open your mouth if you need to.
How many are in a pack, and how long until I get used to it?
Thirty strips, one per night, so a month per pack. Give it a few nights. Most people stop noticing it inside the first week.
Does it hurt to take off?
Not if you take it off properly. Peel slowly from one corner, along your lip rather than straight outwards. Warm water helps. Do not put moisturiser around your mouth before bed, because it stops the tape sticking and makes removal worse.
I have a beard or moustache. Will it work?
It sticks to skin, so it holds best on the lips themselves rather than the hair around them. Trim where it sits if you want a firmer hold.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
The adhesive is hypoallergenic, latex free and fragrance free, designed to be gentle on skin. Everyone is different, so if irritation occurs, discontinue use.
Can I use it with nasal strips?
Yes, and most people end up wanting both. Nasal strips open the airway, mouth tape keeps you using it. The Sleep Bundles pair them at around 10% less than buying separately.
