Mouth Tape and Dry Mouth: What Hostage Tape’s Study Reports

Hostage Tape’s published study summary reports a reduction in participant-reported dry-mouth frequency. That is a specific study finding, not a diagnosis of why your mouth feels dry or evidence that one product addresses every cause.

Keep the measurement attached to the number

The Hostage Tape clinical study summary reports 69.7% lower dry-mouth frequency. It describes a three-week, single-blind study with breathing exercises as an active comparator. Keep the outcome’s exact comparison and analysis group attached when quoting the underlying report; the summary alone does not supply every methodological detail.

Reported dry-mouth frequency is different from a direct measurement of saliva production. It also does not establish that every participant had the same cause of dryness or that every future user will have the same result.

Dry mouth can have different causes

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research identifies medicines and several health conditions among possible causes. Persistent dryness should be discussed with a dentist or doctor. A symptom on waking does not identify its cause by itself.

Our brand-owned education site offers questions to bring to a dry-mouth appointment. That page helps organize your history rather than choose a product for you.

Check product guidance separately

Hostage Tape is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Read the current product instructions and cautions before considering use, including the direction not to use it if nasal breathing is difficult.

For current packs and purchase terms, see Hostage Tape mouth tape. Keep the purchase decision separate from evaluating the cause of persistent dry mouth.
