Our mouth strips are single-use. We discourage reuse to avoid introducing bacteria to the lips.

Yes! Our Mouth Strips are latex-free. They are also gluten-free and hypoallergenic.
Our strips are made for sensitive skin. Our Strips use a gel-like adhesive that is soft, gentle, and painless to remove.
Adhesion quality depends the amount of facial hair. The strips stick well for facial hair thats 10-14 days long. If you have a mustache but no facial hair under the lower lip, you will experience good adhesion. If you have a full beard and mustache, the strips may not adhere as well.
Our Strips feature a patented breathing vent that allows for limited oral airflow if necessary, so you can rest easy knowing there is always a mouth breathing option available.
Ouch! Duct tape can be very abrasive and damaging to lips, not to mention painful! Our Strips use a soft, gel-like adhesive that removes painlessly and easily without leaving irritation behind.
Yes! Our Mouth Strips can be worn in combination with an oral appliance.
Prior to application, ensure that you diligently wash and dry the lips and surrounding area, making sure that the area is void of any balms or moisturizers. Once the lips are dry, the strip will stick. Our specially-engineered adhesive is the first of its kind to be created for lip adhesion—but it is very gentle, so any lubricants will compromise the adhesive.
No need to worry. With the mouth closed, you will swallow any saliva you produce. And that way, your pillow stays nice and dry!
At the moment, we only offer one size. Our Strips are flexible and designed to fit mouths of all sizes. However, we are always working to improve our product and different size options may be offered in the future.
We only recommend our mouth strips for individuals who can comfortably and consistently breathe through their nose. If you are not able to do so, we suggest consulting with your healthcare provider.
It's totally normal for SomniFix to feel a bit funny at first – it actually takes most users about a week to fully acclimate to it. For new users, we suggest wearing a strip for a quiet period during the day while you're awake. This will help your body get used to the novel feeling of the strip on your lips and speed up the acclimation process.
Individuals with a higher BMI are at greater risk of respiratory airway collapse, which SomniFix can’t solve (unless worn in combination with a CPAP).
At this time, our product is only intended to be worn by adults and should not be used on children.
We're a proud American company and our products are made right here in the USA.
We do not offer samples because it takes most users about a week to fully acclimate to our Mouth Strips, rather than just a night or two. That's why we have a money-back guarantee – you will receive a full refund if you are not satisfied for any reason.
During sleep, the mouth falls open, the jaw drops, and the tongue falls backwards. This creates an obstacle at the top of the airway that disrupts nose breathing, leading to mouth snoring. With SomniFix Mouth Strips, the mouth remains closed during sleep. With the mouth closed, the tongue rests against the roof of the mouth and the jaw does not drop, leaving a clear passage in the respiratory airway for breathing.
Our Mouth Strips are only intended to treat mouth snoring. If you snore through your nose, we recommend trying a nasal dilator.
Do a quick snore test. Lie down, open your mouth, and try to make a snoring noise. Now, while still lying down, close your mouth and try to make a snoring noise. If you were only able to snore with your mouth open, SomniFix is the right solution for you!
When you apply a new Strip tonight, try turning your lips tightly inwards. This will help prevent any air from escaping through the breathing vent.
No. Our Mouth Strips are not an independent solution for sleep apnea and should not be worn on their own if you've been diagnosed. They can, however, be used in combination with your CPAP to help improve compliance.
Yes! SomniFix Mouth Strips are a great alternative to chin straps. While chin straps can be tight, itchy and uncomfortable to sleep with, our Mouth Strips are like a second skin - you won't even realize you're wearing it!
The reason sleep apnea is on our exclusion list is because our Mouth Strips are not indicated to treat sleep apnea on their own. They should only be used in combination with a CPAP.
Mouth breathing is the leading cause of CPAP ineffectiveness. SomniFix gently holds your mouth closed, promoting nasal breathing and improving CPAP compliance.
Yes, you can use it with a full face mask, however for best results we recommend using it with a nasal mask or nasal pillows because pressure is typically lower on nasal vs. full face masks. However, we do have some users who have had success using it with a full face mask!
