Tonight I tape

Post by brackstone » Thu Mar 22, 2007 1:35 pm

I just read roosters post on taping however I had an interesting question.

Is there anyone that tapes AND has a moustache?

I think it would be pretty hard to get a good seal with mine and I am looking for tips. I'd really rather not give up the 'stache.

thanks!

Dang I was afraid someone else was going to say that.

I have the polident strips, I dunno why, but they make me nervous for some reason.

I'll just man up and use them. I'll look at it as if I'm not man enough to use polident then I'm not man enough to sport the 'stache.

I have a mustache and I have taped. It's a non issue if you use a good tape but you might want to trim it before you tape.

Oh man your whipped ... you may as well shave that stache off now

Just kidd'n ... hope you get those leaks under control.

President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Rested Gal always pesters me to shave because she owns a lot of stock
in Gilette. I use two inch tape, and it seals well.

You know that if you tape you are going to die sometime, but of
course if you don't tape you are also going to die sometime.

Unfortunately I forgot to take my humidifer tank out to dry before I left in the morning so I wasn't able to try polident strips. I dunno why they scare me more than the tape.

I also went to my local CVS and they had the nexcare gentle paper bandages but they only had the one inch stuff :\

Hopefully I'll be able to find the two inch as well. I'd like it give it all a try before buying another mask.

I actually sleep on my face a lot (when I'm not using the mask) so if I was to get a full face mask I fear I won't even be able to sleep on my side which would be really bad.

Does that matter? I leave water in mine every morning and just top it off each night. It doesn't get a cleaning and drying more than once per month.

Around here, Walgreens has the 2", but CVS only has the 1".

Tell us about the HH tank again. What does that have to do with ploydent?

Try a mouth piece.

I tried everything from tape to home made mouth pieces.

I've been using http://www.nosebreathe.com now for over 2 years, and no problem.

It literally saved me!

Well I still haven't tried taping, it makes me pretty nervous I was hoping to get my fiance to watch me the first time just to make sure things went ok but we've been busy.

I'm going to have her watch me tonight as I'll be going to bed pretty early.

What do you guys do if you have an especially stuffy nose? Is taping still safe?

I always have a problem where one nostril or the other is closed. My doctor prescribed me some flonase but that gave me a really bad nosebleed once. So taping + nosebleed I imagine would be bad no?

Really? I read some debate thread in here and I thought somewhere it said if you didn't dry the tank out every night you ran the risk of having lots of bad things growing inside your tank?

I know my fiance` and I have a mold problem in the house so I was just being cautious.
