Do you have any facial hair? Do you do one, 1 inch strip,, or layered? (I do 2 1 inch strip of the micropore as my mouth really wants to open and this reduces the tug and allows me more confidence it wont be opening at the sides.) Appreciate your appraisal very much! No facial hair other than stubb...

Today I received the silicone tape that I ordered - I will be trying it for mouth taping tonight. My first experience with the 3M Kind Removal Silicone Tape was, for the most part, a step in the right direction for me. In this case (as in all cases dealing with PAPing) YMMV is the rule, not the exc...

Today I received the silicone tape that I ordered - I will be trying it for mouth taping tonight. I'll see if it is an improvement or not. For me, using the Micropore tape is literally a pain - we live in hope this will be a step ahead. Looking forward to your experience with it Jim W159! Any impro...

But lazurm, I'm really intrigued about the pacifier. May give it a whirl, and hubby might too because he can't use tape successfully with his beard. And though I've used tape for six years, I've hated every minute of it :| "6 years and hate it" sure shows how hard it can be for some of us who conti...

...wondering about an adult pacifier and felt strange perusing them on Amazon. Is your concern that your computer may be laughing at you and gossiping with other computers in the neighborhood? If so, don't fret - I have it on gooed authority that they see way too many odd things on Amazon to deal w...

I've eliminated the need for tape completely, and after using this technique consistently scored 100% on mouth leak (the higher the percentage, the less the problem) by...using an adult sized pacifier and chin strap while attached to a nasal pillow. I've been struggling for years with a FFM (extrem...

This is an old thread, but I didn't see any responses from anyone who ever took Klonopin (clonazepam) so I'll add my 2 cents,, I was taking Klonopin for 2+ years for sleep which it did initially help a lot. I also have a spinal cord injury so there is paralysis involved which can be progressive. In ...

In my post I did point out that the battery was what I felt was the weak spot, which is what makes me take a wait and see attitude with my google news alert keeping me apprised as time goes by. If it happens great if it doesn't, perhaps something else more groundbreaking than current technology will...

I've been away from this group for a few years as I'd given up (tried for 2 years with numerous modifications and tried everything I could to make cpap work) ever making cpap possible for me despite my extreme desire to make it happen. I'm back seeking more in case there is something "new". When I s...

Yup, I got the idea from other members. Some people here wear the collar every night (I only use it occasionally if I'm in a rough patch). Sometimes I use it in combination with mouth taping for more "insurance." It seems to discourage your mouth from opening and also minimizes head and neck moveme...

I think that masks have improved greatly in the last few years. Have you tried some newer masks? A survey I ran here showed the airfit p10 as being the most popular nasal cushion mask by far and cpap.com sells them for a good price and includes free return insurance on them. I love it as it's a tin...

I haven't tried a cervical collar, but I like the direction it takes, that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. It would bring the lower jaw up from below as opposed to the whole head being forced together. I can see how this at the least might allow the start of a closed mouth in a comfortable man...

Yes, I have nasal issues at night. I'm a nose breather during the day with my tongue up in the right place, but at night I get congested esp if I don't moisturize the passages with a "Netti pot". Feel like it is time to re-evaluate this area of my life with a fresh perspective. No more FF masks for ...

2 years fully compliant, but never with a solid seal, or able to solve the mouth breathing dilemma. I feel I gave it my 100% best effort, but even with the support available here, cpap is a dream never fully realized for me. Recall a few nights luxuriating in the peaceful deep airway opened Nirvana,...
