Nose or mouth?

Ihatecuddles · 01-02-2014 10:26AM #1

Having an argument with the other half.. is it more common to breathe and through your mouth or nose? One of us never breathes through their mouth and thinks the other ones a freak.. And one of us breathes through their nose and thinks the other is a stupid-head.

So which do you do?

Chattastrophe! · 01-02-2014 10:27AM

Nose, always nose.

Are the pair of ye insane? Yer doing the same thing ie one never breathes through mouth and the other breathes through snout. IT'S THE SAME THING !!!

Nose, unless I happen to have a bad cold. Sure if you're breathing through your mouth you're going around with your mouth open all the time- and even if only a little bit, that's weird.

stefan idiot jones · 01-02-2014 10:32AM

Nose.

I do not look like a slack jawed gimp.

In through the nose, out through the mouth

Why aren't ears there?

KERSPLAT! · 01-02-2014 10:41AM

Nose

BBDBB · 01-02-2014 10:41AM

Im just grateful Im still breathing to be fair

Yep, nose.

It's why colds make us so miserable and make it so difficult to breath, because our noses get blocked.

quickbeam · 01-02-2014 10:55AM

Nose obviously. If you need extra oxygen (while exercising, for example) then you can top it up by breathing through your mouth. Or if the nose is blocked then the mouth can be used. But for every day usage, then you don't sit there with your mouth open breathing. You use your nose.

seosamh1980 · 01-02-2014 10:56AM

I'd say it's about 50/50 for me, broken nose years ago makes it difficult to breathe completely through it most of the time. I don't leave my mouth hanging open catching flies, my lips are just about parted (doing it right now to check :P), because I'm mainly just making up for the loss of some air through my nose, not taking massive breaths through my mouth alone.

My husband is the exact same, old broken nose, can't breathe through it properly. Yet he INSISTS on trying to, all.the.time. So at night when he's asleep or trying to get to sleep and about to pass out with the effort of breathing through his gammy nose I want to die trying to sleep beside him. Listening to someone trying to force air through a blocked nose constantly is soul destroying. Open your mouth ffs!!

I'm a mouth person :eek:

Pfft breathing is for pussies

Professey Chin · 01-02-2014 11:51AM

Nose

anncoates · 01-02-2014 11:52AM

Er both.

mawk · 01-02-2014 11:53AM

Your nose is full of tiny hairs to strain out dust and smoke and pollen. Your mouth is not.

But you can breath faster through your mouth when your muscles need extra oxygen.

Normally you should be breathing through your nose

The term "Mouth breather" is derogatory.

hahahaha....thanks for the laugh

Mouth breathers beware! Not only can you appear to be slack-jawed yokels but mouth-breathing builds up innumerable maladies, starting with the gums. Check out Buteyko breathing on Google is God, or how about this site... http://www.normalbreathing.com/index-nasal.php

But don't stress, just breathe less

JDM Jack · 01-02-2014 12:07PM

Nose, except I have sinus problems so I often have to resort to the mouth.

Duckworth_Luas · 01-02-2014 12:09PM

I wear baggy pants to let my balls breath!
