Why Mouth Tape?

The Importance of Nasal Breathing

Overview: At Breathe Free Labs, we understand that sleep isn't just a necessity—it's a cornerstone of wellness. Embracing nasal breathing during sleep can dramatically transform your health and enhance your quality of life. Here’s how nasal breathing stands as a pivotal function for overall well-being and particularly for enriching sleep quality.

  • Reduction of Snoring: Nasal breathing ensures an open airway, significantly reducing the vibrations that cause snoring. This promotes quieter sleep and a more refreshing morning for everyone in the room.1

  • Prevention of Dry Mouth: Nasal breathing maintains saliva production by keeping the mouth closed during sleep, preventing dry mouth, and protecting against oral health issues like gum disease and tooth decay​​.2,3

  • Increased Oxygen Intake: By optimizing the humidity and temperature of the air, nasal breathing enhances lung oxygen uptake. The production of nitric oxide during nasal breathing improves blood circulation, boosting cellular vitality throughout the body​​.4,5

  • Enhanced Sleep Quality: Nasal breathing regulates the balance of oxygen and CO2 in the blood, promoting deep, restorative sleep. It also filters the inhaled air, removing allergens and pathogens, which helps minimize sleep disruptions​​.6,7

Why Flow Mouth Tape?

Flow MouthTape is not just a product; it's a key part to unlocking a night of deeper, healthier sleep. Designed specifically to enhance the natural advantages of nasal breathing, Flow Mouth Tape offers a range of features and benefits tailored to improving your sleep health.

Features and Benefits of Flow Mouth Tape

  • Encourages Nasal Breathing: Flow MouthTape is expertly designed to gently close the mouth during sleep, which naturally encourages breathing through the nose. Nasal breathing is crucial as it enhances oxygen absorption, reduces snoring, and improves sleep quality by ensuring a balanced intake of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This can lead to deeper, more restorative sleep and a healthier breathing pattern throughout the night.

  • Hypoallergenic Material: Understanding the sensitivity of facial skin, especially around the delicate lip area, Breathe Free Labs has crafted Flow Mouth Tape using hypoallergenic materials. This skin-friendly adhesive ensures that the tape is not only safe but also comfortable for all skin types, reducing the risk of irritation or allergic reactions.
