Dry mouth even using mouth tape

RE: Dry mouth even using mouth tape
My husband and I both now use Xylimelts with good results. They work well to keep the mouth moist.

RE: Dry mouth even using mouth tape
I might have to try the Xylimelts. At one point I used Hostage tape and it was secure. I tried to blow through it and couldn't so I don't think there was a leak from the cpap. I also haven't been on the meds I thought to be the cause for quite some time now. Still an issue.

It kills me that this just started out of nowhere and I haven't changed anything with my setup.

RE: Dry mouth even using mouth tape
One thing I learned from experience is that I MUST use 2-inch wide tape cut about 5-1/2 inches long.  Narrower or shorter and I still have leaks.  And yes, I still use Milk of Magnesia spread by hand onto where the tape will go.  Now I have no problem with tape that sticks very well.  I like Theraband kinesiology tape the best, but it is a little pricier than other types.  I get it by the roll from Amazon.  Good luck at finding something that works well for you!
