Works great! Haven’t had any complaints and definitely helps me to breath through my nose instead of my mouth especially during allergy season

I tried a 1 month supply. I was sold after 4 days. I have 3 strips to my brother in law and he loved them as well. For our birthdays I bought us the 1 year and it's so much better than anything we have tried before. Highly recommended.

I track my sleep with a WHOOP and noticed a 10-20% improvement in my sleep when I used them. More testing to come in combination with mouth tape (and sleep mask)!

Been using hostage tape for 3 weeks now I went from snoring every night so badly my wife couldn’t sleep so let’s call it 95% snoring down to literally maybe 1% if at all. I am so happy with this product.

Frequently asked questions
-
Our bodies have instincts that wake us up if breathing becomes uncomfortable due to congestion. It’s a lot smarter than we give it credit for! Mouth breathing causes the blood vessels in the nose to trigger mucus production and swelling; nasal breathing helps to combat that. Hostage Tape is also porous, so air can pass through if needed. If you’re hesitant, practice with the tape + nose strips during the day to get used to nasal breathing, then wear it at night when you can (nasally) breathe comfortably!

Hostage Tape is CPAP-compatible, and many use it in conjunction with their nasal mask. Far more comfortable than a chin strap, it is often used to fix the "air leak" (through the open mouth) associated with CPAP machines.

We always recommend everyone evaluate their own needs and seek the treatment that is best for them. It’s not for everyone, but Hostage Tape has been a great solution for many with mild OSA. To maintain an open airway, the tongue should rest on the roof of the mouth. When you mouth breathe, the tongue is likely to be on the floor of the mouth and is more likely to fall into the back of the throat. Hostage Tape promotes nasal breathing, which in turn helps keep the tongue in the correct position. If you require a CPAP, we recommend using Hostage Tape in conjunction with a nasal mask, to help keep the mouth closed and the air in.

Ask your partner instead of us. The bottom line is that snoring and irritability from lack of sleep are major contributors to arguments. We can help with some of that.

By sealing your lips, you are forced to breathe through your nose. This promotes better, more productive (and peaceful) sleep for both you -and- your partner.

Absolutely, yes. It’s not for everyone, but what many people don't know is that practicing nasal breathing can help your nose function better. Over time consistent nasal breathing can dilate your airways and reduce congestion in general. Many folks with allergies have experienced a positive difference while using Hostage Tape. The addition of Hostage Nose Strips can be beneficial as well, widening the airway and helping with nasal breathing when it normally feels uncomfortable. Practice during the day first, then wear through the night when nasal breathing feels comfortable.

You -can- use Hostage Tape if you have a deviated septum, but mouth tape may not be the solution for everyone. We always recommend "practicing" to make sure mouth tape will work for you. It may not. Some use Hostage Tape + Hostage Nose Strips during the day until they feel comfortable using it through the night. Hostage Nose Strips are intended to widen the airway and help increase airflow for easier nasal breathing. We have users that have seen a difference in their deviated septum after using Hostage Tape.
