embarrassing question

For the last couple months, I've frequently been waking up with a little saliva on my face or pillow (gross, I know). Obviously, if this is happening, my mouth must be open.

Does this necessarily mean that I'm mouth breathing?

any thoughts appreciated.

I would think just the opposite actually. When I mouth breath I wake up with a dry and kinda sticky mouth. Yuk. That's why I started taping.

I think Tim's got it right. For me at least, mouth open = Sahara Desert. Mouth closed = Florida Swamp.

How's the taping going Tim? What method and kind of tape did you opt for?

Now this seems unbelievable, but lately I've discovered that when I'm wearing my Aura (aren't you all tired of hearing about my love affair with it?), that I can open my mouth and not cause a leak. ...

This is something new. With the Nasalaire, if I opened my mouth, air gushed out. But with the Aura, my tongue lays flatter and evidently closes the air passage to my throat. So I can actually open my mouth, breath through my nose, and no air comes out my mouth. It's true, I showed my husband this morning.

So it's possible that Steve-O is slobbering but maybe not losing air when he does it. (I haven't tried that one).

I confess to a tendency to drool sometimes........and in a ff mask that is gross! Learned to sneak a corner of sheet under there to mop up. Have considered packing the area with kleenex.....

Wouldn't be all that gross unless it was my pillow and someone elses saliva Ugh, now I'm having visions of a wet mouth St. Bernard hanging out a car window! (No reference to you intended Steve-o)
