What is “Mouth Tape”?

What is the Mouth Tape that has recently become the focus of attention of TikTok influencers, celebrities and self-described health gurus?

As the name suggests, mouth taping is exactly what it sounds like. It’s usually done by placing a small piece of tape vertically across the lips, keeping the mouth closed while sleeping. Experts believe it’s a simple method that encourages breathing through the nose during sleep, promotes deeper sleep, and reduces snoring.

The first thing you need to do to get started is, as you might guess… get some tape. It’s important to be careful before using any tape.

“Normal” tapes contain various adhesives and chemicals. Not only can this cause irritation and discomfort to your skin, but it can also be harmful. So it’s important to make the right choice.
