Top 10 Questions About Mouth Tape

Clear answers, no fluff — so you can decide quickly if it’s worth trying.

01

What is mouth taping, really?

Mouth taping is a simple bedtime routine where you use a gentle strip to help keep your lips closed while you sleep. The goal is to make nasal breathing easier to maintain overnight — especially if you tend to sleep with your mouth open.

Think of it as a small habit — not a complicated “sleep device”.

02

Is mouth taping safe?

For most people, yes — if you can breathe comfortably through your nose when lying down. If you’re blocked up, just skip it that night.

KOEC is designed to feel gentle: soft fabric, breathable design, and an adhesive made for skin (not hardware tape).

If it feels comfortable, keep going. If it doesn’t, take it off — easy.

What if my nose gets stuffy (or I have allergies)?

Totally normal. On nights you’re congested, either skip mouth tape or clear your nose first (a quick saline rinse, a warm shower, or a nasal strip can help).

The rule is simple: clear nose = tape on. Blocked nose = no tape that night.

Could I suffocate in my sleep?

If something feels off, your body responds — you’ll wake up or remove it. KOEC is breathable and designed to peel off quickly if you need to.

If you ever feel uncomfortable: take it off. No stress.

Why can’t I just use regular tape?

Regular tape isn’t made for lips or facial hair. It can feel harsh, leave residue, tug on hair, or peel off halfway through the night.

KOEC is built for overnight wear: soft fabric, skin-friendly adhesive, and a design that’s meant to be removed easily in the morning.

Why does nasal breathing matter?

Most people don’t care about the science — they care about how they feel. Many users report they wake up feeling less dry, more comfortable, and more “ready to go”.

Mouth taping is simply one way people try to support nasal breathing during sleep.

Will it help snoring?

It can help with mild to moderate snoring that’s linked to sleeping with your mouth open. If your snoring is caused by other factors, results will vary.

Often, partners notice the difference first — the room feels calmer.

Does it help with dry mouth?

Dry mouth is one of the most common reasons people try mouth tape. If your dryness is linked to mouth breathing during sleep, keeping the lips gently closed can make a noticeable difference.

Many people tell us this is the first thing they notice in the morning.

09

What if I have a beard or sensitive skin?

KOEC is designed to be gentle. For beards, the key is correct removal: pull downward (not sideways) to avoid tugging.

If you have very sensitive skin, try a short “test wear” first and make sure your skin is clean and dry before applying.

Pro tip: A tiny bit of lip balm can make removal feel even easier.
Removal: Peel downwards slowly, don’t rip across.

How should I start (especially if I feel anxious)?

Start slow. Wear it for 20–30 minutes while watching TV or reading before bed. Once it feels normal, try it overnight.

Apply on clean, dry skin. If you’re congested, skip that night.

Give it a proper go — that’s why we offer a 30-night risk-free trial.

Quick FAQs

Will it hurt or leave residue?
KOEC is designed to remove gently. Peel downwards slowly. If your lips are dry, a tiny bit of lip balm can help. Any product can feel different on different skin types — that’s why we recommend a short “test wear” the first time.
Can I use it with a CPAP?
Some people do, but we recommend checking with your healthcare professional if you use CPAP or have diagnosed sleep issues.
What if I feel anxious using it?
Start with 20–30 minutes before bed while relaxing, then move to overnight once you feel comfortable.

Important: Not recommended for people with diagnosed sleep apnoea (unless advised by a professional), significant nasal obstruction, severe respiratory conditions, or anyone who cannot breathe comfortably through the nose when lying down.
