@lotsofpain I was already a nose breather but sleeping and sometimes during the day I would breath through mouth. Especially if just the least bit congested. Hayfever sufferer so that was about 2-4 months out of the year. Mouth taping in conjunction with CPAP stopped that. I do take an antihistamine - Claritin - daily just before bedtime. As a precaution I also take a spray in each nostril of Flonase each night before bed. I have absolutely no problems with Mouth Tape. Been doing this for 8 months now with great success.

Hi @lotsofpain,
I combined your discussion with an existing discussion titled:
"Mouth Tape Option"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mouth-tape-option/
@woodlanddsm, @johnbishop, @gloaming and @thankful all shared their experiences with mouth tape and may be able to share their experiences with you with how it stays on and helps with breathing.
