Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hibertape?
Hibertape is an ergonomically designed mouth tape used for sleeping. The shape of the tape fits the contour of your mouth, reducing invasiveness to your face while you sleep. We designed the tape using Cactus Silk, which offers an elastic and breathable material that does not leave a residue ring on your face, like many competing tapes do. The tape has been scented with lavender for therapeutic purposes, and we installed an easy to remove pull tab to the design for in the morning. Our mouth tape design naturally brings your jaw forward and induces nasal breathing while you sleep, which has immeasurable benefits to your body, your sleep and your energy levels and also the aesthetic of your facial structure.
How does Hibertape work?
Hibertape works by preventing your mouth from falling open during sleep. By keeping your mouth closed, it encourages you to breathe through your nose, which will eliminate snoring, increase nitric oxide levels to enhance recovery and provide you with ADDICTIVE deep sleep all night long.
Does it hurt removing the tape in the morning?
We decided that we would try and create a product that was conducive to everyone's preferences. Therefor, we went with a medical grade adhesive that is slightly stickier than other brands. However, if you find the adhesive to sticky for your liking, then you apply the tape using the directions below, and then immediately remove the tape. Then you simply reapply it after you have dulled down the adhesive. You can repeat this process as many times as you find necessary.
Can Hibertape help with snoring?
Hibertape was specifically designed with eliminating snoring as one of its main problem solutions. Snoring is typically caused by mouth breathing. With your mouth closed ats night, your mandibular jaw bone is brought forward, also bringing forward your tongue, and opening the airway from your nasal cavity into your esophagus, helping improve airflow and decrease the vibrations that lead to snoring.
Can I still breathe with my mouth closed using the tape?
Yes, of course you can. Now however, you will be forced to breathe through your nose all night, the way we were intended to. Nasal breathing has been scientifically proven to be healthier for the respiratory system do to the cilia in your nostrils. However, our material is elastic breathable athletic tape, so even with the tape on, mouth movement and mouth breathing is all still possible.
How do I apply Hibertape?
Applying Hibertape is very simple. Follow the steps below.
- Before bedtime, ensure your lips are dry and clean.
- Break the tape down the middle and slightly peel the paper backing from the inside out on both sides.
- Purse your lips slightly, like you are about to make a kiss, and apply the tape in the middle of your mouth and facilitate the application from the inside out.
- Apply pressure to the tape across your mouth for 3-5 seconds to ensure a tight seal on your lips, as the seal comes from the lip contact with the tape. This is especially important for men with any kind of facial hair.
- Then, SLEEP DEEP.
We use medical grade adhesive, and the application process we designed provides a very tight seal, so if you find that the tape is too sticky for your liking, simply remove the tape after applying it once, then apply it again. You can repeat these steps as many times as necessary.
