↳ The problem
Do you breathe through your mouth at night?
Most people who sleep with their mouth open don’t know it. These are the common signs.
- 01
You wake up with a dry mouth.
Breathing through an open mouth all night can leave your mouth and throat dry by morning.

You snore, or someone says you do.
Snoring is often linked to sleeping with your mouth open. It has other causes too, so it’s worth reading up.

You wake up tired after a full night.
Mouth breathing is one of several things that can make sleep feel less restful.

DELIM Mouth Tape keeps your lips gently closed, so your nose does the breathing. That’s all it does, and that’s the point.

Soft, breathable material that stays on through the night and peels off gently in the morning.
Nasal breathing
Rests your lips together so you breathe through your nose, without forcing your mouth shut.
Skin-safe adhesive
Hypoallergenic and gentle enough for nightly use.
30 strips per pack
Packed in a resealable pouch. Hygienic and easy to take away with you.
No gadgets
No devices, no straps, no batteries and no noise. Just a strip.
From a UK team
DELIM is a small sleep startup in Reading. We write the sleep guides on this site too.
↳ How it works
Four steps, one night.
One small strip, placed across your lips. That’s the whole routine.
- Step 1
Clean, dry lips
Before bed, wipe your lips. Skip lip balm: the strip sticks best to clean, dry skin.
- Step 2
Place it across your lips
Press the strip on gently. It rests your lips together and never forces them shut.
- Step 3
Breathe through your nose
Fall asleep as usual. You can open your mouth any time; the strip peels away.
- Step 4
Peel off in the morning
Remove it slowly. New to mouth tape? Try it for an hour on the sofa first.
↳ Honest expectations
Mouth tape is for many people, not everyone.
It only works if you can breathe easily through your nose. Please read this before you buy.

Skip it if

Is mouth tape safe?
For most healthy adults who can breathe easily through their nose, mouth tape is a simple way to keep the lips closed at night, and the strip peels away if you open your mouth. Don’t use it with a blocked nose or a cold, or if you have sleep apnoea or a breathing condition. If you’re not sure, speak to your GP first.
Where can I buy DELIM Mouth Tape?
On eBay. Orders, delivery and returns are handled by eBay and covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee.
How many strips are in a pack, and how much is it?
Each pack has 30 strips, one for every night of a month, for £6.99.
Can mouth tape help with snoring?
It may help if your snoring comes from sleeping with your mouth open. It won’t help every kind of snoring, and it is not a treatment for sleep apnoea.
Does it hurt to take off?
It is made to peel off gently in the morning. Peel it slowly. If you’re new to mouth tape, wear it for an hour before bed first to get used to the feel.
Mouth tape or nasal strips?
They do different jobs. Mouth tape keeps your lips closed; nasal strips hold your nostrils open. Some people use both.
