This business kinda happened by accident...
Hey, I'm Anabella Lamarche, the creator of Bouche.
While pursuing my master's degree in Economics, I was also working part time as a teacher's assistant, and full-time at the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC). There were not enough hours in the day, and as a result, my sleep was compromised. My hectic schedule eventually led to a severe exhaustion episode, culminating in a hospital visit after I nearly fainted at work. Despite eating healthy and working out, I was simply exhausted because I wasn't prioritizing sleep.
This situation forced me to focus on my sleep. I implemented a diligent routine and tried countless products in the hopes of perfecting my rest. Although my sleep had improved, I still woke up tired and my fiancé mentioned he often heard me gnashing my teeth throughout the night. After reading a couple of studies, he came home one evening with medical tape in hand and declared...

However, as time passed, I noticed his snoring stop, and he told me he had never slept deeper. So I dug into all the research I could find, and read James Nestor's book Breathe, and it all started to make sense. Humans are meant to be mouth breathers, but we've normalized this bad habit, leaving our nervous systems in a state of fight. I had attended breathwork classes and practiced various meditative techniques where I saw firsthand how impactful your breath could be. So I started thinking, why hadn't I considered that how I was breathing while sleeping could be impacting me.
But even once I decided to try it took me almost 3 months till I was hooked because I wasn't being consistent and the medical tape we were using would often end up in my hair every morning, leaving me thinking, did I even get the benefits? But the longer I did it the better I felt. It was the easiest "health hack," I had ever tried, and all I had to do was sleep.
Over the next three years, I eagerly tried every mouth tape product on the market. Each new brand brought hope, but none met my expectations. After one particularly disappointing product (where I spent $30 on duties alone), I turned to my partner and said, "maybe we can make our own mouth tape" even just for us.
After half-a-year of meticulous designing and sourcing, I created Bouche Mouth Tape – a premium product that’s medical grade, hypoallergenic, BPA-free, latex-free, fragrance-free, and works with beards. It’s strong enough to stay in place all night, yet gentle enough for sensitive skin (very important to me).
Our tape works for everyone, from restless sleepers to athletes looking to optimize their breathing patterns. Creating Bouche wasn’t just about filling a market need; it was about improving lives. Every testimonial we receive from satisfied customers fuels our passion and commitment to quality. Knowing that our product helps people sleep better, feel more energized, and live healthier lives is the ultimate reward.
