If you use a CPAP machine, keeping your mouth closed is essential to prevent air leaks and ensure effective therapy. But what’s the best way to do it—chin strap or mouth tape? Let’s break it down:
Chin Straps
✔ Helps keep the jaw closed without restricting lips
✔ Reusable & adjustable for a custom fit
✔ Ideal for those with sensitive skin or facial hair
✖ Can feel bulky or slip overnight
✖ May cause discomfort or pressure around the head
Mouth Tape
✔ Lightweight & less intrusive
✔ Encourages natural nasal breathing
✔ Helps reduce snoring and dry mouth
✖ Can irritate skin or be uncomfortable to remove
✖ Not ideal for those with congestion or nasal obstruction
Which One Should You Choose?
🔹 Struggling to keep your jaw closed? A chin strap might be best.
🔹 Prefer a minimalist approach and have clear nasal passages? Mouth tape could be the way to go.
Some CPAP users even combine both for extra effectiveness!
