A small strip for a habit you may not notice

You do not choose to open your mouth while you sleep. It can just happen.

Here is what is going on.

Your nose is built to handle the air you breathe. It filters it, warms it, and adds moisture so the air is ready for your lungs.

Your nose also does something else. Inside your sinuses, your body makes a gas called nitric oxide.

When you breathe through your nose, a little of that gas travels with the air into your lungs. It can help open blood vessels and may help oxygen move from the air into your blood.

When you breathe through your mouth, air skips your nose’s filtering, warming, and moistening. Your mouth and throat can dry out.

Snoring happens when soft tissue in your throat vibrates as you breathe. For some people, mouth breathing can make it worse. Your sleep can feel lighter and more broken up.

Your breathing is also tied to how your body rests. In a small study of young adults at rest, nose breathing showed stronger signs of the body’s “rest and recover” mode than mouth breathing.

Hostage Tape helps keep your mouth shut while you sleep. You put one strip over your closed lips before bed.

It helps you breathe through your nose instead. This may help reduce snoring that comes from mouth breathing.

He wanted to share a bed with his wife again

Alex’s snoring was more than noise. His wife was sleeping in another room.

He was waking up feeling wrecked. Mornings were harder.

The space between them in the house felt bigger.

He wanted better sleep. He wanted his wife next to him again.

Then he read the best-selling book Breath by James Nestor.

In the book, Nestor describes a two-person self-experiment with a Stanford doctor.

Nestor and another volunteer blocked their noses for 10 days. Nestor reported more snoring and worse sleep.

They then switched to nasal breathing for 10 days, using mouth tape at night. He reported improvements after the switch.

That was the lightbulb moment for Alex. He saw that keeping the mouth closed could change what was happening at night.

Mouth tape helped him. So he created Hostage Tape.

“My snoring pushed my wife out of the bedroom,” he says. “Now we share a bed again, and I wake up more energized. That’s why I created Hostage Tape.”Alex Neist, Founder

For Alex, sharing a bed again was a big part of the change.

A lot of guys know this problem. They want a good night’s sleep without pushing their partner out of the bed.

Alex wasn’t the only one looking for a better night

A founder’s story can make you curious. But you may still wonder: “What happened when other guys tried it?”

In a three-week study, people shared how they slept while using Hostage Tape.

By week three, they reported 78.9% less snoring. And 84.6% said they slept better.

In the reviews, guys talk about more than numbers. They talk about sleeping deeper.

They talk about their partner finally getting a full night. They talk about waking up without the dry mouth and the tired feeling.

If mouth breathing is part of the problem, this is a simple way to test it.

“But will I want to wear it?”

Putting tape over your lips may sound odd at first. Especially if you have a beard.

The fabric lets air pass through. It is made to feel comfortable while you sleep.

BeardFlex™ is made for facial hair.

The fabric moves with your mouth. It is designed to stay on over stubble and beards.

Use it on clean, dry skin. Peel it off slowly in the morning.

You don’t have to be sure before you try it

Maybe you are curious. Maybe you still think it sounds strange.

You do not have to feel the same way Alex did. You can see how it feels for you.

Make sure you can breathe easily through your nose. Then follow the directions on the pack. Put on a strip before bed.
