I went and bought my blue tape tonight -- I got 1-1/2 inch (I have thin lips!)
Re: How do you stop bouth breathing?
There's a product I've been wondering about that might help keep your jaw closed. Has anyone seen those neck supports in the SkyMall magazines? It looks a little like a cervical collar. I've wondered if that would help some people who don't like chin straps.

I think I read somewhere about a DIY version--a short length of Fun Noodle gently secured under the chin.
A sleepy look in the mirror could be quite disturbing.

I agree! Let's face it, though; mask and headgear, some combination of tape, chinstrap, etc., that in itself is pretty scary!chunkyfrog wrote:I think I read somewhere about a DIY version--a short length of Fun Noodle gently secured under the chin.

Junebug............
Width of tape ain't determined by width of lips.......It's the potential to have a "blow-out" that makes 2" better.
"Bigger is better" when the presure is higher.
