Mouth Taping
Mouth Taping
Howdy legends, going to give mouth taping a crack tonight as I keep waking with a dry mouth. In regards to ahi has anyone found taping to be beneficial in lowering it? Will be taping with a Airtouch F20 mask as it's the only ones I have, will pressure remain the same or will that also need to be lowered?
Re: Mouth Taping
Before you try taping, try Xylimelts. They should work well with your FF mask.

Re: Mouth Taping
I use the same mask as you, and my AHI is pretty comparable between the FFM and my old nasal pillow mask. But the only reason I use a FFM is so I don't have tape, and I can't say I have dry mouth issues with it. Have you tried increasing your humidity settings?
Re: Mouth Taping
I started taping and saw a reduction in my AHI. YMMV though because I am using a nasal mask (ResMed N20).
