WTF is mouth taping?

Mouth taping!

Sounds like something you've seen in a horror movie where a hostage is tied to a chair in some dark room, and their mouth is covered with duct tape, right?

Not quite. There is another concept, only that in this one, nobody is tying you to a chair. So your mouth will still be taped, like in a hostage scenario. But this is better than you might think. It will improve your sleep and maybe your struggling marriage.

Is our explanation still hazy? Well, it won't be for long. We’ve got plenty to talk about with all the insights on mouth taping and our new product right out of the dungeon, Hostage Tape.

What Is Mouth Taping?

Mouth taping is the practice of applying tape over your mouth at night as you head to sleep. Is it for everyone? Yes, although men are known to require it more than their female counterparts. Because they snore loudest (haha, you all know it’s true).

How Does Mouth Taping Work?

Hostage Tape covers the top and bottom lips, preventing you from opening your mouth. That way, you cannot breathe via the mouth. This is not to torture you but to ensure that you breathe the right way. You were actually born to breathe via your nose.

Does Mouth Taping Help With Snoring?

If you’ve visited any number of health experts seeking ways to stop snoring, we’ve got you. Snoring usually happens when you breathe via your mouth. And snoring is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the negative impacts of mouth breathing.

If you suffer from mild obstructive sleep apnea, it’s fundamentally because you are yet to figure out how to naturally breathe via your nose exclusively. Research has proven that sleep apnea sufferers are also guilty of snoring heavily.

Benefits of Mouth Taping

If you thought covering your mouth with Hostage Tape is just some fantasy with no end game, you’re in for a huge surprise. It will ease more respiratory problems than you might have thought of.

Stops Day Fatigue: Fatigue can result from mouth breathing at night rather than nose breathing. Blocking the mouth forces nasal breathing, which is more restorative.
Stops Dry Mouth: Waking up thirsty with a dry mouth? Mouth taping prevents dehydration and lets you wake up feeling hydrated and fresh.
Fosters Healthy Breathing: Nasal breathing filters, warms, and humidifies the air you inhale. It’s nature’s CPAP—especially important for asthma sufferers.
Stops Bad Breath and Gum Disease: Mouth breathing invites pathogens and bacteria. Nasal breathing protects your teeth, gums, and freshens your breath.

What Kind of Tape to Use for Sleep?

Don’t reach for duct tape or masking tape. Hostage Tape is hypoallergenic, medically tested, and safe for sensitive skin. No irritation, no side effects—just results.

How to Mouth Tape Safely?

Some people apply vaseline or chapstick to their lips first for easy removal.
To peel the tape, gently pull each end to pop the backing paper.
If you want to reduce stickiness, press the strip on your hand before applying.
Purse your lips together, then apply horizontally across your mouth for a secure seal. Works even with CPAP users.

How Do I Make Sure it Works?

Give it at least a week. Some see results right away, others need a few nights.
Be consistent and wear it every night.
Consult your doctor if you have respiratory conditions that may interfere with nasal breathing.

Final Thoughts

Now you have it all. Does it still feel like the masking tape you saw in a movie? We bet not. Why not give it a try? It’ll be worth it. Your wife/husband will finally sleep in the same room with you again.
