Meet VIO2tape: From Son's Breathing Disorder to #1 Medical Professional Recommended Mouth Tape

We're honored to introduce VIO2tape, a revolutionary mouth tape company founded by Dr. Vincent and Lindsey Ip, whose personal journey began when their son was diagnosed with a breathing disorder and suffered from open mouth posture at age 3 in 2015. What started as desperate parents wanting to help their child evolved into creating the patented two-ways-to-wear design that became the #1 recommended mouth tape by medical professionals—proving that the most meaningful innovations often come from the deepest personal need.

Our Story: A Passion Project Born from Parental Love

VIO2® started as a passion project when the son of Dr. Vincent and Lindsey Ip was diagnosed with a breathing disorder and suffered from open mouth posture at age 3, in 2015. This life-changing diagnosis set the family on a path that would ultimately help thousands of people breathe better and sleep more soundly.

A Doctor's Dedication to Expertise

Wanting to do anything to help their child, Dr. Ip started down a path of extra training and residencies to become an expert in the treatment of sleep disorders and facial aesthetics. This commitment to specialized education demonstrates the lengths parents will go to help their children—and how that dedication can benefit countless others.

Discovering Mouth Taping

Throughout that process and training, Dr. Ip and Lindsey kept coming across the practice of mouth taping. However, at the time, the only mouth tape on the market was full coverage, and they weren't comfortable using that on their son or recommending it to patients.

Lindsey's Mission to Perfect the Art

Lindsey dedicated herself to perfecting the art of mouth tape. This personal mission reflects the determination of a mother who wouldn't accept "good enough" when it came to her child's health and safety.

Seven Years of Development

Finally, in 2022, after years of prototypes and safety testing, VIO2® was launched. This seven-year journey from diagnosis to product launch demonstrates the meticulous care and testing that went into creating a truly safe and effective solution.

Revolutionary Patented Design

VIO2®'s patented two-ways-to-wear design is the #1 recommended mouth tape by medical professionals, the original non-full coverage mouth tape. This innovation addresses the safety concerns that Dr. Ip and Lindsey had with existing full-coverage options.
