they seem to fit well and look pretty durable. I tend to use them more than once, especially since I don't wear them for multiple hours at a time, just for when I'm in stores and such. The smaller, blue ones tend to pop their earloops on my face. I have a rather large chin.

There’s a little store near me that has been selling nothing but masks for the last year. The other day I went in and they offered me all kinds of deals. Things must be slowing down.

I stocked up. Wildfire season is coming.

I recently bought a couple packs of them to have for the winter. I thought we would have a summer of low rates and maybe get a bad fall/winter again, but this Delta is so contagious it's happening faster.

the ones I got fit pretty well, and snug. Plus, they don't feel like the earloops will pop off suddenly. I hate that.

Message me as to how many you need. Really nice designs if you are not too fussy.

Free. All I ask is you make a donation to your local Food Bank or candidate running for office.

My SIL and I used instructions from a hospital for making masks and she made a ton and I made some too. We discovered they were too small and talking made them fall down. I ended up making ones that were longer and had more fullness in the front and that worked a lot better. I hate to think of what happened to all the masks we made before perfecting our own. I hope they gave them to children.

The ones I got are USA made and certified to meet a bunch of standards I have never heard of.

I have to say, they are much sturdier and seem better made than the last batch I bought last fall.

I'm sorry to see that you had to endure this type of inappropriate response. We have several here that believe it's alright to talk to other DUers in a condescending tone. It's getting old and it displays no intention on having a discussion, it's only insulting.



Hugs to you, Wounded Bear.

I do not understand why people need to talk down to others here. I thought that we were all on the same team on DU.





Thank you for your service.

I’ll wear a mask in stores for that reason alone.
