What to do Next. Tap Pap?

A FF mask that will cover my mouth is too long to fit. A FF mask that is the right length will not cover my mouth—I guess the people who choose the molds used to make FF masks would call me a big mouth flat head.. The mask that comes the closest to being useful is the Quattro Air. A crooked nose, though, makes attempts to get a good seal both painful and problematic.

Nasal pillows and Nasal cannulas aren’t so painful as FF masks, but nares that differ quite a bit in size and being a first class mouth breather do pose challenges. I have to tape my mouth and have never found a simple method to do that consistently with good results—and my skin objects when I remove the tape . Also, I have never found a way to make a headgear be sufficiently stable.

Does a Tap Pap need help in preventing mouth leaks?

The Sleep Weaver Anew just may work for you. It is worth a try.

Not for me. My problem is that when I use any type of nasal mask/pillows I have to work at keeping my tongue in the right place, so I have trouble falling asleep. As soon as I do my tongue falls away, my cheeks balloon, and I have to fight to get the air back where it's supposed to be.

I've tried chinstraps, and even tape. Nothing works for me so I have to use a ffm.

Other than that, if I had control over my airway, the Tap Pap would have been an excellent option. Give it a try. My mouth leaking problems appear to be in the minority here, so it might work for you.

I used the Breeze for almost 10 years. I recently (2 months ago) ordered a Tap Pap. When I first received it, I would wake up with air blowing out my mouth, but after training my tongue I have no problems at all. It has officially replaced the Breeze as my favorite setup. No masks, no chin straps. I wore a mouthpiece before to prevent the gritting of my teeth in sleep, so that doesn't bother me at all either.

It comes with 3 sizes of pillows, you could probably mix and match a pair for yourself.
