Mouth tape has gained immense popularity recently as an effective aid for improving sleep quality. However, ensuring its safe and responsible usage is of paramount importance. This blog delves into our essential guidelines for using Dryft Sleep Mouth Tape responsibly. We encourage you to read through all of the considerations as you consider whether mouth taping for sleep is right for you. 

1. Understanding Appropriate Usage: Dryft Sleep Mouth Tape is designed to be used by adults to promote better breathing during sleep. It is important to note that the product is not intended for children under the age of six.

2. Health Considerations: Users with heart conditions, nasal congestion, or other breathing disorders, diagnosed or otherwise, should avoid using Dryft Sleep Mouth Tape. These conditions can potentially be exacerbated by the use of mouth tape during sleep. The big takeaway? If you can't comfortably and consistently breathe through your nose during the day, you probably shouldn't mouth tape that night. 

3. Avoidance of Risk Factors: Individuals at risk of vomiting during sleep or those who use sedatives, alcohol, or other intoxicants should refrain from using Dryft Sleep Mouth Tape. This precaution helps prevent any unintended consequences related to the use of the product. If you drink, consider trying out mouth tape on an evening when you're not drinking.  

4. Independence in Application: It's important that users are able to remove the mouth tape on their own. If an individual is unable to do so, they should not use Dryft Sleep Mouth Tape to ensure their safety.

5. FDA Disclaimer: As stated in our disclaimer, Dryft Sleep Mouth Tape is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. While the product can contribute to better sleep through the support of improved nasal breathing, it's crucial to approach it as a complementary aid rather than a medical treatment. Always talk to your doctor first if you have any questions or concerns about whether mouth tape is right for you.
