Nexcare Gentle Paper Tape

8.5/10 Our verdictHands-on tested, not gifted

The cheap roll that replaces $20 mouth-tape strips. Tear off a small piece, put it over your lips, it stays on all night, even when you sweat, and the gentle adhesive doesn't wreck your skin in the morning.

The full review

Why I ditched the fancy strips

I've been mouth taping for about eight months and it's changed my sleep more than I expected. I started with the shaped mouth-tape strips, but I switched to plain Nexcare Gentle Paper Tape and it works the same for a fraction of the price, you just tear off a small piece and put it over your lips.

It actually stays on all night even when I sweat, which was my biggest problem with the shaped strips, and the adhesive is gentle enough that it doesn't irritate my skin or rip anything off in the morning.

What I liked

  • A fraction of the cost of branded mouth-tape strips
  • Holds all night, even through sweat
  • Gentle, low-irritation adhesive
  • One roll lasts a long time

What to know

  • You tear or cut your own pieces
  • Mouth taping isn't for everyone
  • Not a treatment for sleep apnea
  • Test the adhesive on skin first

Common questions

Is this the same as branded mouth tape?

In my experience yes, it's gentle paper tape, holds all night, and costs a fraction. You just cut your own piece.

Is mouth taping safe?

Talk to a doctor first, especially with sleep apnea or nasal congestion, it's not a substitute for treatment.
