There are several ways to reduce stutters in speech. One way is to use a light contact of your oral muscles to ensure there is no tension. These oral muscles include your tongue and lips. For a sound like /p/, one can choose to make the contact between lips light so that the release of the /p/ sound is less explosive and more focused on airflow. Another way to speak without stuttering is to stretch the initial sound, if the sound can be stretched. For example, rather than jumping into the /m/ sound in may, one can hum the sound-- having the sound come out of the nose. By establishing an airflow before producing the sound with one’s lips, the speaker can achieve greater control and thus fluency.
