I keep drooling in my mask while I'm sleeping.

I wear a full face mask, and 8/10 times, I will drool in my mask while I'm sleeping. Sometimes more than once a night! It wakes me up because I can feel the cold, wetness spreading all over my mouth; sorry, gross, I know. So I have to get up and quickly wipe it out thus breaking my sleep. Is there a way to help stop this? I've always been a drooler when I sleep, even before I started using my CPAP machine.

3M Micropore (paper) Tape works for me.
I've used both 1" and 1.5" versions to stop my flappy lips from leaking.
Fold over a 1/4"- 1/2" flap at each end to facilitate removal.
It is inexpensive, effective, and it will certainly stop your droolies
