How do I know if I mouth breathe during sleep?
If you wake in the morning with a dry mouth, smelly breath, or sore ribs from your partner’s frustrated efforts to stop you from snoring, it’s likely that you mouth breathe during sleep. Your sleep quality and health will be compromised and you probably experience daytime fatigue and problems with focus and concentration.

My child mouth breathes during sleep. Should I be concerned?
Yes. Childhood mouth breathing is known to be detrimental to development of the face, airways and teeth and children with sleep-disordered breathing are likely to struggle at school. No child should ever snore. If you notice your child breathing through an open mouth, during the day or at night, it’s vital that you take steps to restore nasal breathing.
How do I help my child to use MyoTape?
- MYOTAPE is not suitable for children under 4 years of age
- The tape should not be used if your child is unable to remove it by themselves
- Do not use the tape if your child has a tummy upset or is at risk of vomiting
- Children must only use MYOTAPE with adult supervision
MYOTAPE should be worn every day while your child is awake, for between 30 minutes and 2 hours. It is especially important to use MYOTAPE when your child is distracted, for example, while playing with toys, drawing, watching TV or using an iPad.
MYOTAPE can also be used for children over four years of age during sleep. Please consult with a medical doctor before using the tape with your child during sleep.

What are the exact measurments of MyoTape?
Small tape: Overall size 35mm high x 55mm wide. Opening for the lips: 11mm high x 35mm wide
Medium tape: Overall size 43.5mm high x 60mm wide. Opening for the lips: 14mm high x 36.5mm wide.
Large tape: Overall size 50mm high x 70mm wide. Opening for the lips: 16mm high x 40mm wide.
Is the tape comfortable to wear?
Yes. The tape is a training support, not a punishment! The idea behind the light elastic tension, which ‘reminds’ the mouth to close rather than sealing the lips, is to make it easy and rewarding to restore nasal breathing. We want you to see results from your very first week, and we want to help you restore healthy breathing patterns for long-term health. For this reason, MYOTAPE is specifically designed to be comfortable to wear.
Can I still talk with the tape on?
Yes. MYOTAPE allows the freedom to open the mouth at any time, and to communicate effectively whilst wearing the tape.
The tape came off the first time I used it. Does this mean it’s not working?
No. Most people need a few nights to become used to using the tape. If you have developed the habit of mouth breathing during sleep, it can take a while to retrain the breath. The best thing to do is to persist with the tape. You will soon find that the tape stays in place all night.
Can I use each tape more than once?
No, each strip is single use.
How long should I use the tape for?
In order to change behavioral patterns, we recommend that you wear the tape for 60 to 90 nights. If you are using MYOTAPE with your child during the day, again it takes between 60 and 90 days to change a habit, so the tape should be used consistently over this time if nasal breathing is to be restored.
Why won’t the tape stick?
What if I don’t snore?
If you don’t snore, you will still find MYOTAPE beneficial. By making sure that you nose breathe during sleep you will activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which triggers relaxation and promotes deep sleep. You’ll experience better blood gas exchange, so your body and brain are better oxygenated. You’ll harness nasal nitric oxide, boosting your immunity and regulating your blood pressure. And you’ll avoid waking up with a sore throat, dry mouth, stuffy nose and fuzzy head.
What if I can’t breathe through my nose?
What if I have a full beard or moustache?
Unfortunately, MyoTape will not stick to the face if you have a full beard or moustache.
