CPAPtape Mouth Tape

Important Tips for Using CPAPtape Mouth Tape

Clean and Dry Skin

• Ensure your skin is clean and dry before applying CPAPtape. Wash your face and remove any oils or moisturizers from the area around your mouth to ensure the tape adheres properly throughout the night.

Proper Application

• Positioning: Align the CPAPtape vertically over your lips, ensuring it covers your mouth completely. This positioning helps maintain a secure fit and prevents leaks.
• Press Firmly: Gently press the tape against your skin to ensure it adheres well. Smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles to maintain a tight seal.

Comfort and Fit

• CPAPtape is designed to be comfortable and gentle on the skin. If you experience any discomfort or irritation, try repositioning the tape. Make sure the edges are smooth and not causing any pressure points.

Check for Leaks

• After applying CPAPtape, check for any air leaks by breathing through your nose. If you notice any leaks, reapply the tape to achieve a better seal.

Removing CPAPtape

• Gentle Removal: In the morning, gently peel the tape off your skin. Start from one corner and pull slowly to avoid any irritation or damage to your skin.
• Dispose Properly: CPAPtape is a disposable product. Dispose of used strips in the trash and do not reuse them.

Compatibility with Nasal Masks

• CPAPtape is specifically designed for use with nasal and nasal pillow masks. It helps prevent mouth leaks that can disrupt therapy, making it an ideal solution for users of these mask types.

Avoid Using with Full Face Masks

• Do not use CPAPtape with full face masks, as it is designed to keep the mouth closed and may interfere with the seal and function of a full face mask.

Skin Care

• Moisturize: After removing CPAPtape, consider applying a gentle moisturizer to the area around your mouth to keep your skin healthy and prevent dryness or irritation.
• Avoid Irritation: If you experience skin irritation, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider. They may recommend alternative solutions or adjustments to your therapy routine.

Travel-Friendly

• CPAPtape is compact and easy to pack, making it a convenient solution for preventing mouth leaks while traveling. Ensure you pack enough strips for the duration of your trip.
