@lotsofpain, I think the mouth tape actually promotes nasal breathing by keeping you from breathing through your mouth. @gloaming had a really good suggestion earlier in this discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/998044/.

@johnbishop In fact, for two years now, I have been using a product my wife found (and ordered enough of it to last me until 2140!) called PAPMd. Several wide adhesive strips come on plastic backing in a resealable pouch. Being a cheapskate, I always look for ways to double my use of such things, and I found that I can cut them in half, carefully to make each half close to the same size as the other, lengthwise...so now two long, narrower, strips instead of one that could be used on a gorilla. Even better, again scrupulously cleaning my mouth each night before applying it, I can get many uses out of a single strip (to be completely ridiculous about it, I went as high as 15 one time....that's why I figure it will be 2140 before I run out 😀 )
