It is thin, but it does the job. Hoping that longer term I'll form the habit and not need it.

Yes I try and use the tongue technique but I am sure once I fall asleep I am sure I fail to do this.

"RNeil, does it stay on all night, and is it easy to remove it in the morning?"
Yes, the medical tape I got a Walmart stays on all night even though my skin is on the oily side. But if you really want to, you can overcome the tape and open your mouth. I think that is necessary for safety. I think it's actually the NexCare tape that Mesentaria described.

I'm using Fixomull stretch as other tapes I've tried won't keep my mouth shut. Very flexible and strong.

We have gotten a lot of good ideas to try, let’s see if anyone else has something to add.

This works well for me:
3M Medipore Soft Cloth Surgical Tape 2"

There are those who totally disagree with taping.
Anyway I have been using 3M Micropore Surgical Tape 1" since I started. Always foldover one end on itself to ensure I have an easy tab to pull off if in a hurry.
I am clean shaven so 1" works for me.
All the other methods didn't work.

I use a quite heavy duty chin strap but use the chin bit across my mouth. Close lips inwards before putting on. Works well

Yeah, I loved my P10 pillows, but I increasingly mouth breathed. I tried tape... well you guys know and we're all different. I found it claustrophobic. I'm now using a full face mask and sleeping much, much better and for hours at a time. The p10 seemed to be working by the numbers but in fact it wasn't. I feel a lot better now with a full mask. AND: if the power goes out, I can still breathe through it. Comforting.
