I was trying to minimize the number of masks I bought...but it seems like with purses I insist on them matching with my clothing and I’m fussy about their functionality
Now I think as winter approaches it’s not so bad as I can use them as face masks for keeping warm when the pandemic is eventually over (my nose always gets so cold and my winter face mask fogs up sunglasses so bad!)
I’ve also trying to come up with Halloween costume ideas lol!
These two styles I feel have a better seal around my face and have 2-3 cotton layers, all of which masks studies cite as important for filtering capabilities. I wear these kinds if I need to go inside some place, but I wear the pleated one (since it is looser) if I am walking around outside and might encounter people but can maintain some distance. The cone and origami style still fog up my glasses a little but way less than the other kinds. I feel the material moving slightly as I breathe in and out (I think this means it fits well) but because of the design it feels less smothering than these other two because there is space away from my mouth and nose.
I can only find this one seller on etsy (okgoshop) making the cone style in a very similar way to the n95. The other “cone” designs I see are much closer to the contour style (which works the worst on me personally).
Happy shopping!
