It gained prominence as a TikTok trend. Gwyneth Paltrow loves it. Joe Rogan has preached the benefits of nose breathing vs mouth breathing to his 11 million listeners. Athletes swear by it even for working out. And now it seems like the results are in: mouth taping works. As 25-50 percent of the population breathes through their mouth, mouth tape encourages nasal breathing at night, leading to better and more restful sleep.  

“The incredible benefits of nasal breathing are undeniable,” said Alex Neist, founder and CEO of Hostage Tape, the hottest selling mouth tape on the market. They’ve sold out twice already in 2023. “Mouth-breathing is one of the leading causes of snoring and sleep apnea, and mouth tape can be a game changer for those struggling with these common sleep issues. Hostage Tape is a comfortable and easy solution to improve sleep, decrease snoring and enjoy all the health benefits that come with sleeping well.”

Sleep studies have shown that keeping your mouth shut while sleeping can help reduce or eliminate snoring, increase oxygen uptake and circulation, and decrease stress and anxiety. It also boosts nitric oxide production, which helps reduce inflammation, boost the immune system and regulate blood pressure.

The National Library of Medicine has conducted one of many medical studies that showcase mouth taping’s positive results: hostagetape.com.
