What is lulltape?
lulltape is a premium mouth tape that gently holds your lips closed during sleep so you breathe through your nose. It comes in two shapes, an I-shape for everyone and an H-shape that fits around a beard or mustache, and it's CPAP-compatible. Most people use it to snore less and wake up less dried out.
How does it work?
lulltape works by gently adhering to your lips, or around your beard with the H-shape, to keep your mouth closed during sleep. That encourages you to breathe through your nose, which can help reduce snoring and morning dry mouth.
Does lulltape help with snoring?
Many people find that lulltape reduces snoring. A lot of snoring comes from breathing through an open mouth at night, so by gently keeping your lips closed, lulltape encourages nasal breathing instead, which can quiet things down. One thing worth knowing: loud or persistent snoring can sometimes be a sign of sleep apnea, so if your snoring is heavy or comes with gasping or daytime exhaustion, see a doctor to rule that out. lulltape is a comfort aid for nasal breathing, not a treatment for sleep apnea.
How is lulltape different from other mouth tapes?
What sets lulltape apart is that it comes in two shapes. The I-shape works for anyone, and the H-shape is built to adhere around a beard or mustache, which most mouth tapes can't do. It uses a hypoallergenic, medical-grade adhesive that's strong enough to stay put but gentle on the skin and easy to remove, and it's CPAP-compatible, so it works alongside a nasal mask. The aim is simply a tape comfortable enough to actually wear every night.
Is lulltape good for sensitive skin?
lulltape is made with a hypoallergenic, latex-free adhesive chosen to be gentle on skin and to come off cleanly without tugging. No adhesive is completely allergy-proof, so if your skin is very sensitive, do a quick patch test on your arm first and stop using it if you notice any redness or irritation. Applying it to clean, dry skin and removing it slowly in the morning also helps keep things comfortable.
Does it work with beards?
Yes. lulltape is made to work with beards. Just wear the H-shape, which adheres around your facial hair, so it holds no matter how big your beard or mustache.
Can I mouth tape with a CPAP?
Yes. lulltape is CPAP-compatible, and many people wear it alongside a nasal mask. It's more comfortable than a chin strap, and it's often used to help with the mouth air leak that can happen with CPAP, where air escapes through an open mouth.
Is it safe to use?
Yes, lulltape is safe for most healthy adults when used as directed. It's made with a skin-friendly adhesive and is for external use only. If you have skin sensitivities, nasal congestion, a nasal obstruction, a respiratory condition, or sleep apnea, talk to a healthcare professional before using it.
Is mouth taping safe, and are there risks?
For most healthy adults, gentle mouth taping with a skin-friendly tape like lulltape is generally well tolerated. That said, it isn't risk-free. The main concern is that taping the mouth can restrict breathing for anyone who can't breathe easily through their nose, so it isn't right for people with nasal congestion, a nasal obstruction, or untreated sleep apnea. lulltape is for external use only, uses a hypoallergenic adhesive to limit skin reactions, and should be removed if it ever feels uncomfortable. If you have any breathing or sleep condition, talk to your doctor before trying it.
Who should not use lulltape?
Mouth taping isn't for everyone. lulltape is for adults only, so keep it away from children. Talk to your doctor before using it if you have untreated or moderate-to-severe sleep apnea, a blocked or congested nose, a respiratory condition, frequent nausea, or if having your mouth covered makes you anxious. When in doubt, check with a healthcare professional first.
Is mouth taping safe for sleep apnea?
lulltape is not a treatment for sleep apnea, and it shouldn't replace one. Sleep apnea is a medical condition, so if you have it or think you might, talk to your doctor first. If you've been diagnosed and use a CPAP, many people wear lulltape alongside a nasal mask to help keep the mouth closed and reduce mouth air leak. If you have moderate or severe sleep apnea, or any nasal blockage, don't use mouth tape without your doctor's okay.
Will it disturb my sleep?
Most people find lulltape feels natural within a few nights. It's designed to be gentle and non-disruptive, and it still allows normal jaw movement. If it ever feels uncomfortable, take it off and check with a healthcare professional before trying again.
Is it reusable?
Each lulltape strip is single-use, which keeps it hygienic and sticking reliably. Use a fresh strip each night, and follow the instructions on the pack for applying and removing it.
Can I drink liquids with it on?
Yes. When you're wearing the I-shape, you can still sip through a straw.
Can I talk?
Yes, in short bursts. The I-shape is flexible enough to say a few words to your partner, though it's a little restrictive. For a full conversation, just peel it off.
