Our Philosophy

BreatheBuddies were born from a quiet observation and a growing question:

What happens when a child slowly forgets to breathe the way nature intended?

We noticed that one of our children — as school became more sedentary and days filled with sitting, reading, and screens — began breathing more and more through her mouth.

At first, only while reading or watching TV… and then, little by little, during almost every calm moment.

We tried everything we knew — breathing exercises, tongue posture awareness, gentle reminders.

But we never found a tool that could support her naturally and calmly, without tension or pressure.

Something that would remind, not correct.

That’s when we began exploring the few options that existed — trying different mouth tapes on the market.

Some were too big, others too small.

Many had too much adhesive, and some carried a strong, chemical smell that felt anything but calm.

None felt right for a child — not in size, not in feel, not in spirit.

So we began imagining what such a tape should be — gentle, safe, playful, and made with care.

And from that idea, BreatheBuddies slowly came to life.
