Mouth Tape

When I first decided that I needed to tape my mouth closed at night, I really didn't give much thought about what kind of type to use.

I am a very new member (this is my first post) and I was immediately interested in your discussion. I have only been on CPAP a few nights (3 to be exact), but have some problems with congestion.
