You Didn't Fail at CPAP. Your Mouth Did.
Wake up dry-mouthed, with a whistling mask, or sure your machine "isn't working"? The problem may not be your CPAP — it's where the air is escaping.
You already did the hard part — you got diagnosed, you got the machine, and you wear it every night.
So why do you still wake up exhausted, parched, or ripping the mask off at 3am?
Here's what most people are never told: if your lips fall open as you sleep, the pressurised air your CPAP works so hard to deliver leaks straight back out through your mouth. It's called mouth leak — and it's one of the most common reasons CPAP feels uncomfortable or "ineffective."
It isn't willpower. It's mechanics. Your mouth opens the moment you fall asleep, and trying harder won't change it.
That's the gap MyoTape was designed to close — gently, without sealing your mouth shut.
10 reasons CPAP users switch to MyoTape
Not to replace your therapy — to finally make it comfortable.
You crank the pressure. You swap masks. You still wake up unrested.
When your mouth drops open, pressurised air escapes — so the therapy quietly loses its consistency. MyoTape keeps your lips resting together, so more of the air your machine delivers stays where it belongs.
Dry mouth and a raw throat are the #1 complaint CPAP users report — air rushing out of an open mouth dries everything on the way through.
Close the lips, and the air stays in the loop through your nose. Many users find the morning dry-mouth simply stops.
A lot of people are pushed toward bulky full-face masks specifically because their mouth falls open. Keep it gently closed and nasal breathing becomes possible again.
That can open the door to smaller nasal masks or nasal pillows — less hardware, fewer pressure points, more freedom to move.
This is the fear everyone has: "I'm not taping my mouth closed while hooked to a machine." Good. Neither would we.
MyoTape's patented design surrounds the lips with a light elastic. Your mouth is never covered — you can open it, talk, or cough freely at any time.
MyoTape isn't a replacement for your machine and it isn't a treatment for sleep apnea. It's the missing piece that helps your existing therapy feel the way it's supposed to.
Keep using your CPAP exactly as prescribed — MyoTape just handles the open-mouth problem your machine was never designed to solve.
Mouth leak isn't just dry air. It's the sputtering, whistling noises that wake you (and your partner) without you ever realising why.
With the lips resting closed, that whole category of disruption tends to disappear.
Between mask straps and mask marks, your skin takes a beating. The last thing you need is a harsh strip of tape.
MyoTape uses soft, hypoallergenic cotton and a skin-friendly adhesive — latex-free, and designed to peel away without the "ouch."
No new machine. No settings to change. No learning curve.
Apply one strip before bed, put your mask on as normal, and sleep. It adds about ten seconds to a routine you're already doing.
Created by Patrick McKeown — bestselling author, TEDx speaker and a breathing educator since 2002.
Over 27 million MyoTape strips have shipped to 100+ countries.
You're not the first to feel like the machine and the mask were winning — and you won't be the last to be surprised by how much a closed mouth changes the night.

Common questions
Is it safe to use with my CPAP?+
Yes — MyoTape works alongside your prescribed CPAP therapy. It doesn't replace your machine or treat sleep apnea
Will it seal my mouth shut?+
it simply helps keep your lips together so less air leaks out. Keep using your CPAP as directed and speak to your doctor or sleep specialist about your treatment.
What if my nose is blocked?+
No. It surrounds the lips with a light elastic and never covers the mouth — you can open up, talk or cough at any time. That open, patented design is exactly why it feels safe.
How do I use it?+
Don't use MyoTape if you have a heavily blocked nose, a cold, or any difficulty breathing through your nose. If congestion is constant, see your GP — that needs solving first.
