We understand that many men with facial hair still want to benefit from using mouth tape to address snoring, sleep apnea, and overall sleep wellness. The good news is that mouth tape can indeed be worn by individuals with beards and other facial hair. Here are some tips to ensure the best fit and functionality when using mouth tape with facial hair:
-
Position the mouth tape lower on your mouth/lips: To avoid sticking to upper lip hair, place the mouth tape lower on your mouth, specifically at the top of your lip "bow." This positioning allows for a tighter grip throughout the night, as upper lip hair tends to point downward, making it challenging for adhesive to adhere properly.
-
Apply to dry, clean lips: Before applying the mouth tape, ensure that your lips are dry and free from any lip balm, lotions, or creams that may interfere with the adhesive. Direct contact between the mouth tape and your skin is crucial, as it doesn't readily adhere to facial hair.
Now that you have the proper positioning and application technique, you're ready to experience the benefits of using mouth tape. Here are some top benefits for men:
- Limited or no snoring: Enjoy a quieter night's sleep.
- No dry mouth: Say goodbye to the need for a glass of water next to your bed.
- Reduced or no drooling: Bid farewell to that unwanted issue.
- Improved lung capacity: Experience a stronger diaphragm and lungs.
- Slower breathing: This can provide cardiovascular benefits.
- Increased oxygen uptake during sleep: Enjoy reduced brain fog with improved oxygen levels in your blood.
- Reduced intake of airborne particles during sleep: Your nose naturally filters out many particles.
- More humidified inhaled air: Keep your lungs naturally moisturized and happy.
- Potential improvements to the shape and angularity of the jawline: Some nasal breathers have reported positive changes over time.
- Better complexion and increased energy: Quality sleep can lead to a refreshed appearance and enhanced vitality for the day ahead.
