Dry mouth?
Dry mouth?
Does any one know of an gel or other treatment for dry mouth at night? My nasal hairs are too short to hold any significant of moisture so my nose and mouth get very dry.
The chinstrap is pretty strong and the nightly leak rate is about 5 - 15.
Thanks

Re: Dry mouth?
I've used Ayr nasal gel for the nose and Oragel for Dry Mouth. For the Oragel, I just put a little on the tip of the tongue and rub it between my gums and cheek. I was looking last night and couldn't find the Oragel for Dry Mouth at my Walmart but it is at Amazon and other places.

Drink 80 oz of water each day . Maybe more. I start the day with two 12 oz glasses of warm water. I drink this for about 45 minutes to an hour before breakfast and drink a lot more through out the day.

It is one of their functions, along with being an air filter. Google nasal hair function. Although the moisture collecting is probably more of a filtering function than hydration of nasal/oral passages .

I'm with pale on this or not, depending on what he's thinking.
What the heck has nasal hairs holding moisture got to do with a dry mouth?

I'm figuring, sort of along the lines what okydoky said, that there's some misunderstanding going on with the OP there.
