Mouth taping refers to placing adhesive across the lips before sleep to encourage nasal breathing. It has received attention through social media and wellness communities, leading some individuals to explore it on their own. Practices differ in tape type, application method, and personal tolerance.
Because sleep and breathing involve many factors, people who are curious often start by reviewing general sleep habits, bedroom environment, and comfort items like pillows before trying new approaches. Individuals considering any taping method typically pay close attention to safety and discontinue if they feel uncomfortable.
