RE: Re: LipTrainer - Sandy

Hi Sandy

This looks really useful, I might get one for but I doubt Sebastien would go for it.

I wondered if you have ever looked into the Buteyko Breathing Method? did this for a few years and one of the things he had to do was tape his mouth closed at night when sleeping. He did this for about three years I think then was able to sleep with his mouth closed without the tape and still does. I'm not sure about any toxic effects of the tape he used, this was before our obsession with toxicity (ie before children!). It is designed mainly for asthma but the concept might help to train you to sleep with your mouth closed? There are also exercises to do to control breathing, it has a good success rate for asthma but didn't work for .

Best wishes

Hi ,We imported :-( - it cost a bit in customs too and then a few pounds for customs admin.It looks like it might help some with droopy mouths - there were just a few impressive improvement pics of a boy or two with Down's - with their mouths looking normal after. I think it might be a bit unpleasant if you've got cracked lips but you don't stretch the lips other than to get it inside. We're still using ours - I'm increasingly sure it has made a difference to my upper lip control. I used to always show my gums when I smiled - like a horse :-)!! I can't remember when I started to do this - I didn't as a child - must have been in my late teens? Now, after all these years, I don't seem to be doing it so much. My dentist said once I had a "short upper lip" - but now after face exercises and this liptrainer I feel like I have to make an effort if I want to smile like that. All quite interesting. Mind I'm still mouth breathing at night!! No progress there but I'll keep at it ...Best wishes,sandy BigSnapSearch.com - 24 prizes a day, every day. Search now

Hi ,

I want to ask you the same question I asked Sandy. If you are breathing

through your mouth for a reason, i.e. I think I breathe through my mouth

because I frequently have a blocked nose then this wouldn't be good,

would it? (I'm asthmatic and would like to give this a go)
