Mouth taping for Hybrid masks?

[sleepingbetter0209]

I have been up and down with leaks over the past two years. When I experience leaks, I usually notice them coming from the mouth, and I currently use a F40 Hybrid mask from ResMed. I have to make the mouth straps very tight to keep the mouth from leaking air. I was recently introduced to Myotape (https://myotape.com/) by my Speech pathologist, with whom I am working to strengthen my tongue posture, lips, cheeks, airway stability, and jaw. Has anyone heard of Myotape? And can I even benefit from mouth taping if I wear a mask where cushion covers the mouth? I have tried chin straps but don't like them and find them horrible to adapt to; but mouth taping that doesn't cover all the mouth and create panic, I have heard, may work. I have also tried cervical collars and don't like them either. Any feedback is welcome.

Interesting.

With my ResMed F30i, I use the x-shaped sleep strips. They are cheap. For me, they prevent jaw drop which is the major cause of mask leaks.

was intrigued by the advertising. so I bought 90 strips (minimum order). these are specifically "designed for beards". the picture shows a chap with what I call a "door knocker" beard very neatly trimmed. mine is more of a full beard with very little trimming done.

will try this out and report back. I currently use fixodent to seal my lips but that's kind of a hit or miss proposition as I don't get it on my lips as "just right".

we shall see.

first night went well. I was surprised in that the "device" or whatever DID allow my lips to part. but at no time did I lose air nor breath any through my mouth. I reckon the shape of the tape (a rectangle with the middle missing, for those who haven't clicked the link) was sufficient to press the rest of the mouth down and doing it's job.

just a small bit of hassle on removing it. but I used a warm water soaked wash cloth and a bit of isopropyl alcohol to remove it. just took a while, is all.

now I have to do some figuring....is it cheaper to use the fixodent vs myotape? I must say that i've had occasion where I haven't quite applied the fixodent properly. sometimes there is a gap where it will come apart at night and air DOES come in. and sometimes it gets in my beard making it harder to remove.

I suppose I'd have to actually track how many applications I get per tube.

ah well. one more thing to fuss over.
