> medical device that's built for this!

You don't need to spend $90 on some patented thing. Use simple 3M Micropore Surgical Tape 2.5cm x 9.14m, its what every one else uses for mouth taping and its exactly what a lot of dentists will suggest is used, although a few more folks are using SomniFix Sleep Strips as well. Tape works absolutely fine though, and its the consensus go to by most users.

I can't attest to relatively popularity, but this device was independently suggested by both my dentist and my ENT. It works really well.

Tape seems like a great option too, but it seems like it'd come off easily? I might give it a shot.

Good point, you know if this works for you, that is all that matters at the end of the day.

The tape stays on very well. You want Micropore Surgical Tape - 2.5cm x 9.14m. Also it helps if you don't have a beard. This was the only down side for me, but I will take the better sleep / improved health over a beard.
