Mouth Taping and Flatulence

Post by snoresnout » Thu Jul 26, 2007 7:11 am

This is probably a stupid question but is it possible that by taping up so i don't mouth breathe I am sucking air into my gut and passing it out the other end? I have nights where I am a virtual fart machine

Hi.

I´m a mouth leaker, not breaher, and I'm having that happen to me too. I´m taping my mouth shut and I fart all night. Occassionally I have aerophagia, which is worse. I´m planning to buy a full face mask to solve this problem.

John.

Just look at the brightside, if your machine is no where near your rear, and you use Pur-Sleep, you are protected from your farts .

You just have to deal with your S.O. whom you just hotboxed.

SleepGuy used to offer a different type of (inline) EO scent diffuser ... I think it could easily be used to mitigate the hotbox effect for your bed partner. Maybe he has some left?
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.

Air pressure will flow toward the path of least resistance. It can go directly in your nose and pass out your mouth, or it can wait for you to breathe into your lungs or is can inflate your stomach, whichever is easier. You might try some back pressure on your stomach like a big elastic bandage. Basically you have to raise the pressure required to enter your stomach above the machine setting.
