This. For example, I have an extremely strong gag reflex. Dentist visits are just miserable. ANY mouthpiece with the long sides makes me gag horribly, and the molded ones are worst of all. AL Comfobite is what I use.

Unfortunately covid19 makes OOA practicing sketchy. So not using seacure mouthpieces or only having buddies who have tried it in the past (or immediate family members as buddies) seems like the most viable pathThat’s why I would like to start with secondary donating practice at the beginning of a dive trip to make sure my octo is working properly (including purging off any water trapped in it before handing the octo to him) and vice versa, my buddy’s octo is working properly and it won’t gag me. I haven’t done this for 15 years I have been diving.

My spouse had (she has since quit diving) a crazy strong gag reflex similar to @Marie13 and has a small jawIn an ideal world, that's wonderful. And marvelously conscientious. Bravo! I had a second stage hose go pop in a wreck many years ago. I gladly accepted the nearest diver's regulator without thought of the brand of the mouthpiece. Not my buddy either. When sh!t happens, you're unlikely to decline the offer of an air source because it's the wrong size, color or shape.
