I had to stop using tape because it was causing sensitivity. But that's how I am these days with any kind of tape or medical tape even, after I had to keep an area bandaged for months, my skin reacted bad and so I can't use tapes for long. Anyway, I got an Ace elastic bandage.
I experimented with different ways to wrap it around my chin, jaw, head. If it's too tight, it's uncomfortable and feels choking, if it's too loose, it doesn't work. It has to be tight enough, yet forward under my chin rather than back against my throat. I did get it to stay on all night but it was loose when I woke up, so I don't know how much mouth breathing I ended up doing. I'm going to experiment some more.
I do believe this is going to be a good method for me if I can get it to stay tight enough all night. It doesn't even look too ridiculous, not that I really care. It reminds me of ads I used to see in the back of magazines for some type of chin strap like this promoted to prevent sagging jowels and facial skin.
