I was embarrassed to try mouth tape.
My dad was a really big believer in it, but I was working as a chemist and had just finished my thesis on medical snake oil in the beauty and wellness industry. I just couldn’t believe that something so trendy could actually do something.
Luckily, I was wrong. I started sleeping better and waking up clearer. In the first three months I saw my jawline starting to shift which was really big for me.
It was kind of annoying how well it worked because I still didn’t “like” mouth tape. It smelled plasticky, felt gluey, and left a weird film on my skin. I kept thinking, what the hell is actually in this stuff? (Hint: sometimes PFAS and a bunch of other stuff that’s really bad for you).
As a chemist, I knew I could make something that actually respected your skin. No mystery adhesives or plasticky smell. Just safe, derm-grade ingredients that support your skin barrier overnight: collagen, aloe, & vitamins. Real stuff your face recognizes.
I wanted it to feel good, look good, and actually do something while you sleep.
Thus, the Ugly Sleep Club was born.
Most sleep stuff falls into one of two camps:
- The beige, medical-grade stuff that smells like a hospital…
- Or the $180 silk pillowcase wellness cosplay.
Ugly Sleep Club is neither.
We make effective sleep products that are fun, unapologetic, and wildly unserious. Because taping your mouth shut at night is already weird. You might as well enjoy it.
