I almost always sleep on my back, which definitely helps with nasal congestion. Give it a try!

Granny,

Also, they are made to go in your mouth, so they are definitely safe to use. Who knows what chemicals may be on other two-sided tapes?

So, I used the Super Polident Denture Adhesive STRIPS (not the cream) last night with mixed results. I cut the strips in half lengthwise, then cut the thin pieces in half horizontally, as suggested by ChunkyFrog. They went on easily and stayed on all night. They were not uncomfortable just different...

Thanks Gfox. I think that is about the same as the Hypafix tape I bought and HATED. It hurt like crazy (for me, the wimp) to remove.

My husband uses a nasal mask and likes to use Breathe Right strips to help open his nostrils from the outside. I think you would find those more comfortable than internal dilators. Long before I was on CPAP I tried nasal dilators because I have small nostrils, but I found them uncomfortable and my n...

Thanks Chunky. I will just use regular lip closure. That makes sense to be, as it seems like without tape to restrain it a person's lips will fight to be in a more normal position. Hey, with the two of us going back and forth on this, I kind of get a kick out of seeing our froggie personas showing u...

Thanks Chunky! I ordered the Poligrip strips last night, and they are supposed to come today. So just wetting your lips before you put them on was enough to hold them through the nights most nights? That sounds great! I thought they might be too thin to cut in half. I'm glad to learn that I was wron...

Ya know what? I went back and read that long old thread. I'm gonna order some Denture Adhesive Strips and give it a try. I'm going to search for the best ones first. Then I'll report in on how it goes. Please let me know if you have tried or are trying this. Also, here's a link to the thread: https:...

Thanks, Granny. I've seen those but I don't think they'd work for me. I'm sure lots of air would flow out of the uncovered parts of my mouth. I used a lovely silicone tape for a long time and loved it. It's two inches wide, covers my mouth fully, and extends over an inch from where my lips end on ea...

I found in some records from way back in 2006 that some folks were using various denture adhesive strips to seal their mouth closed instead of using mouth tape. Have any of you tried this? If so, what were your results? I am sick to death of trying mouth tapes. One I used for a very long time befor...

In your first chart, your flow limits are really high. If you use EPR full time that will help with those. I'd set it at 3 and see how you do.

If you do end up getting a pap machine please have your doctor prescribe that you specifically get a ResMed machine. They are the best. Philips Respironics is still dealing with a recall they had to do, so they are a pain to deal with, but the ResMed machines are better anyway, so demand that you be...

I'm so sorry Pugsy. :( We lost my mum to dementia in 2018. It's a long, hard road. I'm praying for peace for you and your mother. It's healthy and good that you can see the humor in the situation. I have lots of fond and funny memories of my mum's years in care. I did everything I could to make her ...

I use mouth tape too, but sometimes air leaks out anyway. I don't know how to overcome the leaking, but most nights I don't show air leaking. My ahi is usually less than 1, so I don't worry about it too much.
