Learn how On The Nose Co Sleep Mouth Tape with a breathing slit is used, how to apply it comfortably and how it may support nasal breathing, reduced nighttime mouth breathing and a more comfortable sleep routine.
Sleep mouth tape is a gentle adhesive strip worn across the lips at night. It is designed to discourage the mouth from falling open and encourage breathing through the nose while sleeping.
On The Nose Co mouth tape features a central breathing slit and is made from breathable, latex-free fabric. It can be used as part of a regular bedtime routine when the nose is comfortably clear.
Mouth tape gently supports the lips in a closed position, helping discourage habitual mouth breathing when nasal breathing is already comfortable.
The central slit offers a less restrictive design than fully covering the mouth and may feel more comfortable for people beginning a mouth-taping routine.
Some adults combine mouth tape with an external nose strip to support nasal airflow and discourage nighttime mouth breathing.
Helpful answers about nighttime mouth breathing, dry mouth, the breathing slit, facial hair, skin preparation and pairing mouth tape with nose strips.
The central slit provides a small opening through the middle of the tape. This creates a less restrictive design while the surrounding adhesive continues to encourage the lips to remain gently closed.
The slit may also make mouth taping feel more approachable for beginners who are uncomfortable with covering the lips completely.
Waking with a dry mouth can occur when the mouth remains open during sleep. Mouth tape may help discourage this behaviour by supporting the lips in a closed position and encouraging nasal breathing.
Persistent dry mouth may also be associated with medication, dehydration or a medical condition and should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Yes. Beginners may find it helpful to wear the tape for a short period while awake and relaxed before attempting a full night.
This allows you to check the fit, skin comfort and ability to breathe easily through your nose before incorporating it into your bedtime routine.
Some adults use both products as part of the same nighttime breathing routine. A nose strip externally lifts the nasal sidewalls, while mouth tape encourages the lips to remain gently closed.

Wash and completely dry the lips and surrounding skin before application. Remove lip balm, moisturiser, facial oil and other skincare products from the adhesive area.
Clean, dry skin helps improve adhesion and reduces the chance of the tape lifting during the night.
Correct preparation and application help the tape remain secure through normal nighttime movement. Press the adhesive gently around the lips after positioning it and avoid repeatedly lifting or repositioning the strip.
Excess facial oil, moisture, lip balm or skincare products can weaken the adhesive.
Mouth tape may still be used by people with moustaches or beards, although adhesion can vary depending on the amount and length of facial hair around the lips.
Apply the tape firmly to the available skin and test it during a shorter period first to ensure the fit remains comfortable.
Peel the tape away slowly from one side rather than pulling it off quickly. Holding the surrounding skin while removing the strip can also reduce pulling.
People with sensitive skin may prefer to soften the adhesive with warm water or remove it after a warm shower.
No. Mouth tape should only be used when you can breathe comfortably through your nose. Do not apply it when your nose is blocked by a cold, severe allergies, sinus symptoms or another form of nasal obstruction.
Remove the tape immediately if you experience breathing difficulty, panic, dizziness or significant discomfort.
