taping mouth shut

Post by auntiebeccaneedssleep » Tue Apr 05, 2005 2:12 am

What tape is used to tape mouth shut at night? I tried the ace bandage way, and it bugged me too much. I think tape would be the best bet, just not sure which kind I need.

Howdy,

Just a friendly warning that while some users of this board do advocate the practice of taping ones mouth shut:
The information provided on this site is not intended nor recommended as a substitute for professional medical advice.
Taping your mouth shut results in an increased risk of suffocation. Additionally, this is not something a Manufacturer would consider kosher use of their product.

Products such as the Aura and the coming-soon Respironics Comfort Curve raise the bar for masks. If you are having trouble with mask fit, be sure exhausted all your options that are medically safe. Try a chin strap!

We all know duct tape can fix anything, but please use extreme caution and care!
