Mouth Tape Questions
Isn't it just tape?
Our founder and her (now) husband first tried taping their mouths while sleeping five years ago with just regular medical tape.
Unfortunately, they would need multiple pieces of tape and it would still fall off, leave unwanted lines, and definitely didn't feel comfortable. But hooked by the feeling of a deep nights rest, they tried every solution on the market and struggled to find a product that met their needs:
- Made of quality materials that they could trust on their skin
- Sufficiently adhesive, but not sticky and would not leave a residue
- A large enough shape for people with wider mouths and facial hair but small enough it didn't cover their face unnecessarily
- Completely non-toxic
- Reasonably priced (and wouldn't charge unexpected duties)
When nothing met their standards, they sought to create their own solution!
Bouche mouth tape are made with medical grade fabric and a light but strong adhesive to ensure you feel confident using them every night.
Our oval shape was designed to be universally suitable, covering your full mouth for maximum effectiveness, while smoothing lip lines.
By using the highest quality materials and a unique waved application process for the adhesive we offer a solution that will gently keep your lips together throughout the night, inducing nasal breathing, but is comfortable and strong enough that it will stay on all night.
How does it work?
More than 70% of people are mouth breathers, but humans aren't meant to be mouth breathers! Changes in diet and climate have resulted in an epidemic of mouth breathing that causes havoc on your health and nervous system. Bouche mouth tape works by gently keep lips together, naturally signalling to sleepers to breath through their nose for the entirety of their sleep, increasing the body's oxygen absorption on average more than 18% and retaining +42% more hydration, on average, every night. (No wonder mouth breathing leaves you with bad breath and dry mouth).
Nasal breathing releases nitric oxide (NO). NO is a vasodilator, which means it helps widen blood vessels and improves oxygen circulation, reducing congestion, and making nasal breathing easier.
This increased nitric oxide production leads to countless health benefits including, lower blood pressure, improved recovery, reduced stress levels, and allows sleepers to experience deeper, more restorative sleeps.
When will I feel a difference?
We’re not here to promise perfection. But we are here to help you feel better — naturally.
Mouth tape isn’t a cure-all, but it is one of the simplest ways to improve how you breathe, sleep, and feel. Whether it’s dry mouth, restless sleep, or snoring, many people notice a difference after just one night.
Everyone’s journey is different, but consistency is everything. Try it every night for a month — we’re confident you’ll feel a shift you didn’t know you needed.
Who should use mouth tape?
Research shows that more than +70% of sleepers breath through their mouth while sleeping. Some people even mouth breathe all day!
Whether you are suffering from snoring, dry mouth, at risk of sleep apnea, or simply looking to improve your body's natural recovery, strengthen facial structure, improve oral health or sleep in general, bouche sleep strips can help. Our founder personally was a teeth grinder! Mouth tape helped her body relax, made her teeth grinding stop, and she hasn't had a cavity since - even her dentist noticed the difference.
Is it safe?
Bouche was made with everyone in mind. Medical grade, BPA free, fragrance free, hypoallergenic, made in the USA. We have been mouth taping for almost half a decade and we wanted to create a product that we felt comfortable using and recommending to our family and friends. Better yet, we have medical professionals from chiropractors to dentists who use and recommend the product.
That being said, if you have any concerns about whether you should use the product, any pre-existing conditions, or if you struggle breathing through your nose, please first consult a healthcare practitioner.
Can I have more details on the product?
Bouche mouth tape and nasal strips are designed to gently guide your body into nasal breathing and make nasal breathing easier during sleep — a small, natural habit that supports deeper rest, better focus, and overall health. Sleep is critical for wellbeing and mouth breathing leaves your nervous system in fight of flight all night (no wonder you wake up exhausted).
Each strip is made from medical-grade, hypoallergenic cotton with a soft, skin-safe adhesive that stays on all night and removes easily without residue. The breathable fabric flexes with movement, making it safe and comfortable even for sensitive skin. Our meticulous design has the adhesion applied in a specialized pattern that maximizes hold, while still remaining complete breathable, simply for your peace of mind.
Unlike other mouth tapes, Bouche is free from dyes, BPAS latex, and harsh forever chemicals — crafted in a North American medical facility that meets the highest quality standards.
Used nightly, it helps:
- Reduce mouth breathing and snoring
- Support deeper, uninterrupted sleep
- Improve morning energy, focus, and hydration
It’s a simple tool to help you retrain your breathing and experience the kind of rest your body was built for. Our product is different because its recommended by doctors, works with CPAP machines, stays on with skincare and beards, even is made specifically for sensitive skin. Don't waste money on sub-par solutions (like we did.).
