I have already switched to a full face mask, tried taping mouth, , using chin strap that helps a bit but still leaking air.
I have recently noticed my jaw also falls down , so added a foam collar and that has helped a lot.... numbers much better. I also have sensitive skin so I have added padacheek parts to mask. I also had to add a tissue behind the edges of the foam collar to stop it from rubbing....
I would like to find some other way of not using the chin strap with all the other changes...
A friend suggested a mouth guard but there are sooooo many different ones listed.....
Any suggestions on one that works or something else I am not aware of ???

Re: Looking for ideas to help mouth breathing
Given that you're using a FF mask, is there a particular reason you want to avoid mouth breathing?
What was it about tape that didn't work for you?
