SomniFix Mouth Sleep Strips

My husband used the mouth strips for the first time and it came off too easily while he sleeps. The... strips might need to be adjusted so that it stays on and not come off easily. more...

These strips are perfect for keeping the mouth closed during the night and breathing through the nose. Very happy... with them! And they re-stick if you have to remove it for a moment. Just ordered three more boxes. Thank you, CPAP.com! more...

These mouth strips are the best! I wanted a better quality sleep without opening my mouth in the middle... of the night. This did the trick perfectly! Love these! more...

From the long list of cautions of who shouldn't use this product, I imagine many people will be surprised that... it is not advisable to use this product safely. more...

Excellent product to help train my body and brain to keep my lips closed during cpap therapy with my Dreamwear... nasal mask. more...

I had been waking up several times a night with extremely dry mouth. It was so dry that sometimes... I couldn't work up any moisture at all. Very unpleasant. These strips have stopped that. I have been sleeping with significantly fewer interruptions and feeling better. The only suggestion I have for these strips is that be about a half inch wider. more...

This helps me avoid dry mouth by keeping my lips almost sealed. I didn’t think this would work... better than the Gorilla Tape I had been using as it was the only tape that would stay on all night. I’m pleasantly surprised and was expecting to be disappointed. more...

When I saw these strips I was very excited, as they seemed to be exactly what would solve my "dry... mouth" problem! Imagine my surprise the first night when I woke up with the worst case of dry mouth ever, and yet my lips were still sealed tightly with the strip! It took weeks of experimenting, and thinking, to realize what was happening... after falling asleep, air pressure enters my mouth, and the constant pressure eventually causes the strip's glue to fail, allowing air to escape, causing the dry mouth, as I (slowly) awake, my mouth closes, and the strip 'reseals'. My solution was found in the "Sewing & Crafts" section at my local Walmart. I found some elastic strap (1 in x 5 yds) and right beside it, some Velcro strips. I fashioned a strap that goes across my lips and around my neck, holding the "Sleep Strip" to my lips, which keeps the glue from loosening. It doesn't take much pressure at all; just enough to keep the strap from 'working' away from my mouth as I sleep (as I 'toss & turn'). It doesn't take many tries before you get it just right. I can now crank my CPAP up to '15.5' before 'glue failure'! I think with just a little added pressure on the strap, you could (probably) go all the way to '20'; but I sleep great at a setting of '14', so I didn't push it. I should add that the strips do have a small 'vent' in the center, that I am sure is designed to (slowly) release any pressure build up; however, if I press my lips together while applying the strips, it defeats the vent, and if I hold my lips apart so the vent works, the strips are not large enough for there to be enough 'area' for the glue to hold! It seems to me the the strips should be some what larger - maybe without the glue in the center part- which is why I dropped the score to 4 stars. Also, very poor "instructions"; just some extremely fuzzy 'pictures', I suppose to keep from having to translate to different languages?? I might not have yet figured out the correct way to apply the strips?? more...

First off they work just as advertised (5 stars). But about the (2 stars). First off the box only contains... 28 strips. Except for February what other months have 28 days? How difficult would it be to add 2 extra strips in each box? Even prescriptions are refilled for 30 days. But my biggest gripe is how difficult it is to separate the sleep strip from its plastic backer. The adhesive strip and it’s plastic backer are exactly the same length. It’s a real challenge to separate the two without ruining the strip. If the plastic backer was a mm or two longer on each end then separating them would be much easier. more...

I tried it one night, so far, & it felt very strange, so I took it off. I will be... trying it again. more...

Thanks

I have tried chin straps and full-face CPAP masks but nothing kept me from breathing through my mouth until I... tried these. Very comfortable, felt a little odd at first but I got used to them after about 5 minutes. more...
