In development · Sleep
The 3am glass of water. The disc that slipped. The dog sniffing the bedside table.
A xylitol-free overnight disc for night-time dry mouth, designed to stay where you put it. Common in CPAP homes, and safer for homes with dogs.
We've worked out what we'd make. We'll make it if enough people want it.
Goal: 200 backers to start production

What we keep hearing
The same problems, over and over.
- Waking at 3am with a dry mouth and throat
- Discs that loosen during the night
- A worry about choking on one in your sleep
- Xylitol, which is toxic to dogs, in the products on the bedside table
“My dry mouth and throat were so irritating that I would sometimes stop using my CPAP halfway through the night”
Posted on r/CPAP “Those things will not stay stuck in my mouth! I have tried so many times and they just loosen up and I'm afraid I will choke on one during the night!”
Posted on r/CPAP “One of the downsides of xylitol is that it can ummmm make things move.”

Why the usual fixes fall short
Close, but not quite.
- Some discs loosen, get stuck in beards or don't last the night
- Xylitol can have a laxative effect for some people
- Xylitol is toxic to dogs, and these sit on bedside tables
What we're working on
Overnight Dry-Mouth Disc
A xylitol-free overnight disc or gum-line strip designed to adhere and release slowly through the night. We'll only say how long it lasts once it's been tested.
Expected around US$19 per tin. Founding backers pay less.
What you'd get
- A tin of xylitol-free overnight discs
- Place one against the gum before sleep. It's designed to stay put and dissolve slowly
- A tin that closes firmly, so it's safer on a bedside table in a home with dogs
- Instructions written with CPAP users in mind
Overnight Dry-Mouth Disc is a working name. The details may change as we develop it, and we'll only make it if enough people back it.
Our standards for it
- Xylitol-free by design
- We plan to work with a certified manufacturer, and we'll share details before launch
- Tested for adhesion and safety before anything ships
- No efficacy claims until testing backs them up

Questions
Before you back it.
Am I charged anything?
No. Backing an idea is free, and we never ask for card details on this page. If it goes ahead, it's up to you whether you buy.
When would it ship?
Only if we reach 200 backers. If we do, we'll email backers with timing before anything goes on sale. If we don't, we won't make it.
Where will it be made?
By a certified manufacturer. We'll share who makes it, and where, before launch.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and backing doesn't commit you to buying anything.
Why back it now?
Founding backers get first access at the lowest price we'll offer, and your answers help decide what goes in it and what it costs.
