(21,432 posts)surgical masks and for many faces. I have a box of surgical masks that have a flat, thin "rubbery" or flexible border at the edges so that they fit flat against my face with no gap. I also have prominent cheekbones and convex cheeks that fill out the surgical mask well. The Hanes 3 layer cotton masks fit snugly over my cheeks. When I put the surgical mask over the cotton one, I have a good seal from both of them.
I got the surgical masks at CVS. They are labeled as "medical" masks. I considered that a meaningless advertising point when I bought them, but I wonder now if it refers to the flat edge that seals well. At any rate, both the cloth and surgical masks that I have leave no gaps. My Hanes cotton masks are too small and snugly fitting to fit over another mask. When I put on glasses, there is no air escape to fog them up.
Mask styles and face shapes vary, so I think people need to find what fits and seals well for them.
