Talk to me about polygrip strips, to keep your mouth shut. please explain how you use them. are you putting them on the outside of your lips? and does it work

At one point I was going to try those but the cost was a factor. Instead I went for and now use nightly, paper tape. Easy on and easy off. No skin reactions and cheap. My husband and 21 yr old daughter think it is hysterical, but it does work.

To use polygrip strips;
You can cut them in half length wise(1/2 for each side of the mouth) and wet them just slightly(too wet and they won't stick), then place between lips and press lips together for a few seconds. To remove you can just pull the lips apart and roll the goo off.

I love polygrip strips I used them last night and they worked well. no chin strap was required. this is a real blessing. I slept till about 1:30Am then got up got a drink and replaced the strips. Sometime during the night I took off my mask but I don't know when.
