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. The tape has been scented with lavender, and we installed an easy to remove pull tab to the design for in the morning. The lip-shaped strip sits over closed lips and may help encourage nasal breathing while you sleep. It does not change your jaw or face shape.
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 is designed to encourage nasal breathing.
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 gentle adhesive that holds through the night. 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 is designed to encourage nasal breathing while you sleep. It is not a treatment for snoring. If snoring is heavy, or you gasp or feel exhausted during the day, talk to a doctor.
Can I still breathe with my mouth closed using the tape?
Yes. The strip sits over closed lips and may help encourage nose breathing. You can peel it off at any time. The tape is elastic, so some mouth movement is still possible. It is not a treatment for any breathing condition.
