I don't mouth-tape, and I use a CPAP. However, since I prefer the nasal cushion type, I did run into issues with my partner regarding my mouth falling open and horrible "pumping air through your sinuses" noises emanating from my face hole. Instead of spending more from the home health shop, I just grabbed headband that came in some past 5K race bag, and I strap it around my head prior to the CPAP head gear.
In my particular case, that very slight amount of pressure keeps my mouth closed (and spouse happy.) I have to wonder if just using the chin-strap would be enough to turn off the damnable machine.
Given the results with the chin strap, I have considered mouth taping, but I'm not about to shave just for that test.

- code_biologist 2y agoSleepy me tends to rip off things like headbands. I have a beard and use GrifGrips sports tape to mouth tape. I've found the level of adhesiveness to be a perfect balance of strength and removability. Not the cheapest, but quality stuff.
