FFM and vertical taping

[krl]

I've been using a nasal mask, chinstrap and double taping 3M micropore tape horizontally across my lips. This is my current normal. I seem to recall reading that a lot of folks use the tape - but do so vertically. I just got my new FFM and will be experimenting with using the tape vertically on the outer sections of my lips so that it reduces the size of my open mouth. Is this perceived method being done by anyone and any other tips out there for this technique? thanks in advance for any help. Ken

Depending on the placement, it could work somewhat like Chin Up Strips.

I wear a mouthpiece to keep my mouth open so that I can get more air. Deviated septum.

I tape across my lips horizontally rather than vertically. I find that a single strip of tape is enough as long as I place it correctly. I look in the mirror, roll my lips inward, and apply the tape from side to side. This reduces my AHI from 3-6 to less than one. And most nights, myair shows no leaks at all. But what's most important is that I seem to sleep better when taped and never wake up in the middle of the night with "desert mouth"!
