Mouth Tape Skin Protectant
#1
Mouth Tape Skin Protectant
Hello,

I am happily experiencing noticeably improved results (and comfort!) after switching to to nasal pillows masks, particularly the P10. 
I use kinesiology tape to keep my mouth chosed and prevent leaks. Unfortunately, even with care while applying and removing the tape, I've been experiencing skin irritations such as small abrasions and redness. Has anyone found a solution to this problem such as a skin protectant that will not reduce tape efficacy? Could I possibly be stretching the tape too tightly when applying it? The tape is slightly porous and if my mouth isn't closed, I have episodes when I wake to find myself ateempting to breathe through the tape.

Thank you!

Cavilon Durable Barrier Cream... just a dab spread where the tape will be.
