↳ Our mission

We're here to improve sleep in every phase — before you close your eyes, while you rest, and the moment you wake. Starting with one small strip, built by a family that knows how much a good night matters.

DELIM started around a kitchen table in Reading, with siblings who couldn't sleep without their mouths falling open. Months of research and supplier visits later, we'd found a hypoallergenic adhesive we were proud of, and a product we refused to compromise on — even when it cost us more.

Today our mouth tape covers the during and post phases of sleep. Wind-down rituals, calmer mornings and the rest of the journey are coming next. Read more about our 30-pack mouth tape or say hello.

↳ Our story

Born from a real sleep struggle — and a family that never quit.

DELIM is a family-owned British brand born from a personal struggle — and a shared solution. My sister and I have always had trouble sleeping with our mouths open. We'd wake up with dry mouths and, at times, headaches. During one of our late-night conversations, we came up with an idea that changed everything: mouth tape. It helped both of us sleep better — and we realised it could help others too.

That small conversation turned into a mission. We spent months researching, testing and finding the right supplier to create high-quality, skin-friendly mouth tape. Even though it cost us more, we refused to compromise — because we believe everyone deserves a better night's sleep with a product that actually works.

When we started, our mum joined us. She's always been our biggest supporter. We grew up without a father, and our mother has been the heart of our family. Now, we're building something that reflects that same love and support — not just for ourselves, but for everyone who becomes part of the DELIM family.

Our vision for DELIM is big and bright. We don't just want to help with sleep — we want to improve it in every phase: before sleep, during sleep, and after waking up. Right now, our mouth tapes focus on the “during” and “post” sleep phases — but we're already working on new products to support your full sleep ritual, from wind-down to wake-up.

We see a future where DELIM goes worldwide and helps transform the lives of millions — starting with one good night's sleep at a time. We're passionate. We're personal. And we'd love for you to be part of this journey. Say hello any time — we read every email.

↳ What we stand for

Three promises, one family.

Sleep tools should feel personal, safe, and grounded in real care. These are the three rules our family lives by — and the ones every DELIM strip is held to before it ever leaves Reading.

↳ 01

Family-built, family-led.

DELIM is owned and run by a brother, a sister and our mum. Every email is read by one of us. Every batch is checked by one of us. Every customer becomes part of the family.

↳ 02

We refuse to cut corners.

We spent months finding a supplier who could match our standard for hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested medical-grade adhesive. It costs us more — and we wouldn't have it any other way.

↳ 03

Every phase of your night.

Mouth tape solves the “during” and “post” of sleep. Next we're building products for the wind-down before bed and the calm of the morning after — one full sleep ritual, designed with care.

↳ Our journey

From a late-night chat to a family brand.

How DELIM grew from two siblings struggling to sleep into a family-owned British studio with a worldwide vision.

  1. The spark

    A late-night conversation.

    My sister and I had spent years waking with dry mouths and headaches from sleeping with our mouths open. One late-night talk turned into a question — what if a tiny strip could fix this?

  2. Months of research

    Refusing to compromise.

    We tested adhesives, met suppliers, and refused to settle for anything less than hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, medical-grade. It cost us more. We didn't mind.

  3. Family business

    Mum joins the team.

    Our mother — the heart of our family and our biggest supporter through growing up without a father — joined us. DELIM officially became a family-run British studio.

  4. Launch · UK press

    DELIM ships from Reading.

    Posted Royal Mail tracked, our first hypoallergenic mouth tape ships across the UK and is featured by The Times, Stylist, Men's Health UK, GQ Britain and the Evening Standard.

  5. What's next

    A full sleep ritual, worldwide.

    We're already designing products for the wind-down before bed and the calm after waking — and dreaming of helping millions sleep better worldwide. One small strip at a time.

↳ A note from the family
"My sister and I built DELIM because we couldn't find a mouth tape that felt safe, gentle and ours. Then our mum joined — and that's when it became a family. Every strip we ship carries that same love and care."
