As schools and workplaces begin to grapple with what reopening looks like and face masks are becoming increasingly required by local law or policy in public and in stores, now is a good time to think about having more than one face covering in your protective arsenal. The hot summer months may make mask-wearing feel uncomfortable, but covering your face remains important as concern grows that the coronavirus is airborne.
Luckily, there’s no shortage of online stores, including popular fashion brand names, that sell coverings for adults and children, including cloth options so you don’t have to make a DIY mask. We’ve listed a number of different face covering styles, from simple, homemade masks to trendy designs, models with higher-end fabrics, nose wire masks and name brands, with proceeds often donated to coronavirus-related charities.
Face mask tips to remember:
- Cotton face mask options may be the most comfortable and easiest to fold up and carry around, and they’re machine washable.
- Some masks have pouches where you can add extra filter material.
- Masks that use thicker material and designs with more layers might trap larger particles you accidentally eject through talking, coughing or sneezing, but they may also be warmer to wear.
- Pay attention to the straps and nose — do they have adjustable ear loops? If you need to wear the mask all day, could the design such as the elastic ear loops rub your ears and skin? Here are ways to make your face mask more comfortable to wear.
- Wash the mask before putting it on. It’s recommended to wash between wearings.
- The mask should cover your nose and chin without creating gaps.
