what to do for dry mouth while sleeping
I am drinking water, gatorade, probably 6 litres or more. When I go to sleep at night my mouth gets really dry(yes I am a mouth breather). my mouth gets super dry, and the tissue in mouth and lips get so dry and sticky, I have chewed off outer layer especallially below lips. My mouth is sore and hurting when I eat, also sticks it is so dry.
What do ya'll do for this probably. I am thirsty because my mouth is dry, peeing off and on because I am needing to drink water to relieve the dry mouth.

Looks like more of you are into the humor of the "jaw-kstrap" idea than really suffering from dry mouth syndrome. I didn't send in the description of my invention as a joke, though I don't begrudge anyone a laugh about it. Just thought I'd share a good solution with fellow sufferers.
Thing is, it does really work. I'd tried similar constructions with narrower elastic from shops, but elastic was too flimsy. For someone without the industrial production connections of the garment industry, where else do you find wide-band elastic with a natural, soft, non-slip texture?
Really and truly, before I made the gadget: 10 x per night I'd wake up with cracking dry mouth, almost afraid to move it for fear of breaking the skin.
Since I made it, I only waked up once with dry mouth. That was the second night and the elastic had slipped loose, so jaw could fall open. That's when I came up with the extra cross-strap across the head.
One could, of course, attach the broad elastic to any cap or bonnet and stretch it around the lower jaw to the desired tension. At least, if the cap fits well on the head and doesn't cut off the circulation. What I've made is only a 3rd generation prototype I'm describing. If I were business oriented I'd have it patented and make millions. But I'll leave that to somebody else to do.
The invention is good. If you really have the problem, stop making jokes and start taking action, not for me, for you yourself and yours. For "yours" because I strongly suspect that you'll snore a lot less too.
My wife claims I snore (I've never heard myself snore...only her snoring.;-). But since she escaped to one of the kids room after they'd moved out, there's nobody to test my now snoreless sleeping. Would be interested to hear from anyone who tries it out and whose partner can tesify to snore-preventive aspects of gadget.
Sounds like a lot of people would rather pay the doctor and the pharmacist for chemical solutions to simple problems. Hey, if you're into chemistry, who am I to knock it?

We need Wolfie to do an infomercial!
"The Strap" a real answer for a real problem for those suffering from DMS!
Now we just need a logo, a frog behind a strap with some bars holding him in, perhaps the frog could be wearing some prison stripes.

Elaine enjoyed it, I guess she has more empathy for sufferers of DMS (dry mouth syndrome)
I put my order in with Wolfbayne, just finished the complicated head measurements. he said that he still has some old jockstraps lying around and that the new ones don't work as well. Something about the quality of the elastic in the netherlands in the old days.
I couldn't find a frog anywhere though, there aren't many ponds around here!

Dave—the gals are steering way clear of this thread; I wonder why?
What say, gals?
Your perspectives are needed too, you know?!

Very innovative, and he even came up with a good story so he didn't appear silly with the contraption on his head. The problem as I see it is that most thongs are too small to keep the frog from escaping. I suppose if the frog was small enough it might work, but the we might be back to Jusjames issue with swallowing the frog.
I think personally I'll stick with the jockstrap and frog, kudos to this dude for trying though!

Hmm… I think the guy over here that was sniffing his sister’s friend’s panties might have only had a dry mouth, and got the thong confused with a jockstrap:

He was most likely trying to strap frogs in his mouth but didn’t have a jockstrap, so he was just being innovative.
Any thoughts on this?
