### The Importance of a Proper Fit
* **Improved Lip Seals:** Lip seals were also refined, with manufacturers experimenting with different shapes and materials to create a more secure and comfortable seal.
Just like a pair of shoes, a scuba mouthpiece needs to fit correctly to be comfortable and effective. A mouthpiece that's too small or too large can lead to a variety of problems, from discomfort and fatigue to air leaks and even a weakened grip on your regulator.
**The Tube:** This is the conduit that connects the mouthpiece to the regulator, the device that controls the flow of air from the tank. The tube is typically made of flexible plastic, allowing for movement and flexibility while maximizing airflow. It's designed to be smooth and unobstructed, ensuring that the air travels to the diver without any resistance or obstruction.
**1. Rinse After Every Dive:** Rinse your mouthpiece thoroughly with fresh water after each dive to remove salt and other debris.
