FAQ

About mouth tape

What is mouth tape?

Mouth tape is a gentle, breathable strip worn over closed lips during sleep. Cosmic Tape is designed to encourage breathing through your nose instead of your mouth.

Does mouth tape work?

Many people use mouth tape as part of a nasal-breathing routine and find it helps them keep their mouth closed at night. Experiences vary from person to person. Cosmic Tape is a comfort and wellness product, not a medical device.

Is mouth taping safe?

For most healthy adults who can breathe comfortably through their nose, mouth tape is generally comfortable to use. Try it while awake for a few minutes first, and stop if you feel any discomfort.

Who should not use mouth tape?

  • Anyone who cannot breathe comfortably through their nose (congestion, a cold, allergies, or a deviated septum)
  • Anyone who has been drinking alcohol or has taken sedatives or sleep medication
  • Anyone with a known or suspected sleep disorder, breathing condition, or heart or lung condition, unless their doctor says it's OK
  • Anyone who feels nauseous or may vomit
  • Children
  • Anyone with sensitive, broken, or irritated skin around the mouth

Is mouth tape a treatment for sleep apnea or snoring?

No. Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent sleep apnea or any other condition. Loud snoring, gasping, or choking during sleep, or feeling very tired during the day, can be signs of a sleep disorder. Please see a doctor.

Should I talk to my doctor first?

If you have any health conditions, take medication, are pregnant, or aren't sure whether mouth tape is right for you, please check with your doctor before use.

Can I use mouth tape with a beard?

Adhesion can be reduced by facial hair. Make sure the area is clean and dry. If tape won't stay put, our Cosmic Strap chin strap is a tape-free alternative.
