I use sports tape from the local sports equipment store. It is breathable - but not too sticky or painful in the morning when taking it off. So sometimes when I end up with the blowfish mouthful of air, I can actually breathe it out thru the tape - yet the tape keeps my mouth closed otherwise. I have tried many many tapes and found this to be the best. Good luck.

well one way to do this can be to try a mask that's full face that helps with it.

the forma ff mask by f&p kind of cups the lower part of your jaw and it keeps my mouth shut.
I have an overbite and it seems to keep my mouth closed quite well.

just an idea,

Your profile shows a Quattro full face mask. Why do you want to tape your mouth?
