What is We Shut It (WSI)?

We Shut It is more than just mouth tape — it’s a skincare-meets-sleep revolution. We’re the first to stamp affirmations directly on each tape, turning your nightly shut-eye into a self-love ritual. Our bamboo-based, hyaluronic acid–infused tapes keep your lips hydrated while helping you sleep deeper, breathe better, and wake up glowing.

But we don’t stop there — from face tapes that support skin and definition to nose strips that boost airflow and reduce snoring, every product has its own special trait designed to elevate your nights.

More than products, We Shut It is a community: people who value sleep, celebrate self-care, and know that glowing starts with good rest.

What are the WSI Nighttime Rituals?

Our nighttime rituals are designed to help you slow down, connect with yourself, and set the tone for deep, restorative sleep. Each mouth tape comes stamped with an affirmation — read it to yourself in the mirror, share it with a friend, or make it part of your wind-down with a partner. We share different ways to use affirmations as part of your evening self-care on our Nighttime Rituals page.

Why are there affirmations on the tape?

We are romanticising 8-hour sleep and turning it into a self-care ritual. 

Are WSI mouth tapes safe to use?

Yes – our tapes are made with medical-grade, bamboo-based fabric that’s breathable, skin-safe, hypoallergenic, and gentle to remove. No plastic, no harsh adhesives, no drama. Just a secure seal that moves with you while you sleep.

Is it safe to use it every night?

Yes – WSI tapes are designed for daily use. The gentle adhesive and skin-friendly materials are formulated for regular use without irritation & it moisturises whilst you sleep.

Will I look cute using WSI?

Absolutely, and you will look snatched after a good night's sleep.

Are the tapes reusable?

No – for hygiene & health reasons, all tapes (mouth tapes, face tapes & nose strips) are single-use only. 

What are the benefits?

Using We Shut It consistently can:

  • Improve airflow and oxygen uptake through nasal breathing
  • Reduce snoring and dry mouth
  • Support oral health
  • Lower resting heart rate and promote relaxation
  • Enhance skin hydration thanks to hyaluronic acid infusion
  • Help you wake up with more energy, glow, and definition

How do I put on the WSI  tape?

It’s simple:

  1. Clean and dry your lips before bedtime.
  2. Peel the tape from the backing.
  3. Place it gently across your lips, pressing down to seal.
  4. Sleep. Breathe. Glow.
  5. In the morning, peel off gently and admire the results (and the affirmation you wore all night).

How does mouth tape help define my jawline?

When you sleep with your mouth closed, your facial muscles maintain the right positioning throughout the night. This promotes proper jaw alignment and facial muscle tone, which, over time, can contribute to a more defined jawline and reduced clenching of the jaw.
