How to seal my mouth. Chin Strap doesn't work.
Re: How to seal my mouth. Chin Strap doesn't work.
Perhaps, this forum needs a sticky topic on the subject. People ask "Help, I have a dry mouth" quite often. And there is always someone who can merely suggests switching to FFM, which alone is not always helpful.

If you can't keep your mouth closed there are 4 alternatives.....Tape your mouth, use a chinstrap, use a cervical collar, or switch to a full face mask. These have been suggested in any post requesting help with this problem. If you can think of other solutions...let's hear them..

If you do an Advanced Search on "mouth leaks" and Author = "rested gal", you'll find this:tan wrote:Perhaps, this forum needs a sticky topic on the subject.

Or......you could always just do a generic forum search on "mouth leaks" and just read through the 1000+ pages of posts.
search.php?keywords=mouth+leaks
Virtually every question has been answered before and is in the archives. Problem is, not many want to Search for them.

Re: How to seal my mouth. Chin Strap doesn't work.
that's what I am talking about: you are giving advice, specifically "or switch to a full face mask", which hasn't work out for quite a number of people, because FFM alone may not enough. Sometimes one needs to use a combination of methods, which is rarely explainedLSAT wrote:tan wrote:Perhaps, this forum needs a sticky topic on the subject.

Add what you want to say in this thread. I have a link to this thread in my very first post in the Sleepyhead tutorial thread which is a sticky. Then all anyone has to do is refer someone to a sticky that is already in place and easy to see and tell them to go to the "bumps in the road" thread.tan wrote: Sometimes one needs to use a combination of methods, which is rarely explained
