How to Sleep Better Naturally: Best Sleep Tapes for Rest & Recovery

Mouth Tape with Slit vs. Standard Mouth Tape: Which is Better for Sensitive Sleepers?

Are you tired of waking up with a dry mouth, a sore throat, or being nudged awake by a frustrated partner due to your snoring? Many Australians are enjoying the benefits of mouth taping to promote healthy nasal breathing during sleep. But for those with sensitive skin or who are new to the idea, the thought of taping your mouth shut can be a little daunting.

That's where mouth tape with a slit comes in.

Standard mouth tape effectively keeps your lips sealed, but add in a strategically placed slit and you get an extra layer of reassurance.

The Concept Behind Mouth Tape With Slits

At its core, mouth tape is designed to gently encourage lip closure. With a small, central opening, the design still encourages nasal breathing throughout the night with a tiny emergency escape route for air if you feel the need to open your mouth for a deep breath.

Here's how it works:

The tape gently holds your lips together to tell your body to breathe through your nose.
The slit offers a psychological comfort that you can still take a breath through your mouth if you want to (especially helpful if you have a stuffy nose or tend to get claustrophobic).
The slit also reduces the resistance that first-time users or people prone to anxiety feel in the beginning, which makes the transition to nasal breathing much smoother.

Benefits of Nasal Breathing for a Better Night's Sleep

The goal is the same whether you choose mouth tape with slit or a standard option: to encourage nasal breathing – and the benefits are profound for sleep quality and overall health.

Less Snoring: Nasal breathing helps keep your airway open, significantly reducing or even eliminating snoring caused by mouth breathing.
Better Circulation: Your nose filters, warms and humidifies the air you breathe, leading to better oxygen absorption in your lungs.
No More Dry Mouth and Bad Breath: You can prevent the evaporation of saliva by keeping your mouth closed, which eliminates dry mouth and reduces bacteria that cause bad breath.

Way Better Sleep: When you breathe optimally, your body enters deeper, more restorative sleep cycles.
