Simply Breathe is the only leading mouth tape designed by a board-certified prosthodontist. Dr. Frank Seaman has spent decades treating airway, TMJ, and grinding issues in real patients, and every detail of Simply Breathe reflects that clinical experience, from the gentle silicone adhesive to the easy-release tab. Here is why that matters, and why so many sleepers have made the switch.
Our bodies are designed to breathe through the nose. Nasal breathing filters out particles like pollen, adds moisture and warmth to the air we take in, improves oxygen absorption, reduces hypertension, and supports a healthy immune system.
Yet millions of us have become mouth breathers due to congestion, stress, sleep apnea, or simple habit. Mouth breathing is a major reason why 40% of men and 20% of women are habitual snorers, leading to poor sleep quality and mornings that start groggy and fatigued.
During sleep, the jaw relaxes and drops open, and the tongue falls toward the back of the throat. In snorers, this narrows the airway, and the vibration you hear is snoring. With the lips gently sealed, the mouth stays closed at night, the tongue rests against the roof of the mouth, and the airway stays open, preventing another night of snoring and poor sleep.
Mouth tape does not force anything. It simply gives your body a gentle reminder to do what it was designed to do: breathe through your nose.
Simply Breathe was developed by Dr. Frank Seaman, a board-certified prosthodontist with decades of clinical experience treating airway, TMJ, and teeth-grinding issues. Most mouth tapes are created by consumer brands or breathing coaches. Simply Breathe is built on a clinical understanding of how the jaw, lips, and airway interact during sleep.
The skin on and around your lips is more sensitive than almost anywhere else on your face. Simply Breathe uses a light, hypoallergenic, latex-free silicone adhesive formulated for that sensitive skin. It is strong enough to stay put all night and gentle enough to remove painlessly in the morning. No red marks, no residue.
Every strip includes a release tab, so you can remove the tape instantly, with one hand, in the dark, without picking at an edge. It is a small detail that makes a big difference for first-time users, and it is a feature most competitors skip.
Simply Breathe strips are manufactured in the USA under consistent quality standards, something we are proud to put on the label.
At about $0.68 to $0.76 per strip, Simply Breathe costs less per night than heavily marketed alternatives. You get a doctor-designed tape for less than the price of the hype.
Do not just take our word for it. Simply Breathe customers tell us the same story again and again: less snoring, deeper sleep, and mornings that feel different.
"I have used micropore tape and the somnifix tape, but this is the best for me. It doesn't hurt when I remove at night to drink water like the other tapes did. The tab on the end makes it easy to remove quickly if you need to do that. Mouth taping has definitely changed my nasal health in a great way. I used to have nose sores and constant dry mouth, but this has solved those problems. With the Simply Breathe Lip Seal Strips I can sleep well through the night!"

"I've been taping my mouth at night for 8 months and have felt much better — I'm not tired all the time. My dentist recommended Simply Breathe and they are soooo much more comfortable and easy to use. They also stay on better than taping; Simply Breathe has never come loose or off during sleep and they remove easily."
— Judy W., verified customer
"I have tried other breathing mouth tapes that have torn my lips and skin which took a while to heal. I heard about Simply Breathe and thought I would try it after hearing the reviews, and a client of mine told me about it and loved it. The tape stays on all night and no problem with it tearing my lips or skin taking it off in the morning. Super happy."

For many sleepers, the change is noticeable after a single night: fewer wake-ups, deeper sleep, and waking up feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and energized. Give it a full week of consistent use and nasal breathing starts to become your default, night after night.
Mouth taping is safe for most healthy adults who can breathe comfortably through their nose. It is not a fit for everyone. Skip it if you have significant nasal congestion or obstruction, untreated sleep apnea, or if you have been drinking alcohol or taking sedatives before bed. Children should not use mouth tape without guidance from a healthcare provider.
If you use a CPAP, mouth tape can actually help by reducing the air leaks that come from mouth breathing. Learn more in our guide to mouth taping with a CPAP. When in doubt, ask your doctor or dentist.
Yes, for people whose snoring and poor sleep stem from mouth breathing. By keeping the lips gently sealed, mouth tape encourages nasal breathing, which reduces snoring, dry mouth, and nighttime wake-ups. Many Simply Breathe users notice a difference the very first night.
It holds your lips gently closed while you sleep so your body defaults to nasal breathing. With your mouth closed, your tongue rests against the roof of your mouth and your airway stays more open, which is why snoring drops.
If your snoring comes from mouth breathing, which is the most common cause, sealing the lips addresses it at the source. Snoring caused by untreated sleep apnea or nasal obstruction needs medical attention first.
Yes. Mouth taping is a popular companion to CPAP therapy because it prevents air from escaping through the mouth, improving the machine's effectiveness. Simply Breathe's gentle adhesive works comfortably alongside a nasal mask. Always confirm with your sleep specialist.
Many users report better sleep after one night. Give it a week of consistent use to retrain your nighttime breathing habit. Most people find the tape becomes an automatic part of their routine within days.
Because the details matter. Adhesive strength, lip-safe materials, and easy removal all affect whether you will actually wear it every night. Dr. Frank Seaman designed Simply Breathe from decades of clinical airway experience, not from a marketing brief.
