Allergy to adhesive on mouth tape

Post by tmiller125 » Fri Mar 03, 2023 11:37 am

Hello,

I've bee using the Resmed N20 nasal mask with coverall stretch tape with great success of over a year. Now I am finding the adhesive from the tape is giving me a rash around my mouth.
I tried sleeping without the tape but I have mouth leak.

Any suggestions on how to keep mouth closed without tape? Chin strap?

If you think a chin strap would work any suggestion on a particular brand?

Thanks

There are very many tape options out there so I think you might have to experiment and see what works for you.

I agree.
There are many, many different formulas for adhesives;
and some are less likely to trigger allergies.
Look for "hyperallergenic" products.

i've used this method, with modifications, for almost six years.

let me know if you're interested in trying it and i'll be happy to supply more details about those modifications.
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.
