How to Apply Mouth Tape for Better Sleep, Breathing & Recovery

The Complete Step-by-Step Guide to Mouth Taping Safely & Effectively

What Is Mouth Taping & Why Is It So Powerful?

Mouth taping is a simple nighttime practice where a gentle, skin-safe adhesive strip is placed over the lips to encourage nasal breathing while sleeping. By keeping your mouth shut, you prevent dry mouth, reduce snoring, and unlock deeper, more restorative sleep.

When paired with nasal strips, like our Force Tape Airflow+, you get a powerful combo that maximises oxygen intake, enhances sleep quality, and boosts recovery, brain function, and daily performance.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply Mouth Tape Correctly

🧼 1.

Prep Your Skin

Wash your face and lips to remove any oils, sweat, or residue. Pat dry to ensure a clean surface so the tape sticks securely all night.

✂️ 2.

Peel the Mouth Tape Strip

Open your Force Tape mouth tape packet and peel one strip from the backing. Our strips are pre-cut to fit comfortably over your lips without causing irritation.

📐 3.

Position the Tape Horizontally or Vertically

You can apply Force Tape in either of these two ways depending on your comfort and breathing goals:

• Horizontal Strip (full seal): Place the tape straight across your closed lips for complete mouth closure. Best for habitual mouth breathers or snorers.

• Vertical Strip (partial seal): Place the strip vertically across the center of the lips. This provides a gentler reminder to keep the mouth closed but still allows airflow if needed.

💤 4.

Sleep & Breathe Easy

With your mouth gently sealed, your body naturally shifts into nasal breathing mode—supporting deeper sleep, better oxygenation, and improved morning energy.

Tips for First-Time Mouth Tapers

• Start with short naps or 1–2 hours to get used to the sensation.

• Pair with Airflow+ Nasal Strips to keep nasal passages clear and maximise results.

• Avoid if you’re feeling congested or sick—nasal breathing should always be easy and comfortable.

• If you’re unsure, consult a healthcare professional before starting.
