Consumer product report - Hanes now makes face masks in 10-packs

White cotton, "3 layer"washable one adult size fits all. They don't have folds.They look like they were made at the same factory that make jock straps, and smell like fresh cotton briefs right out of the package.
I got a pack to put in the glove box "for emergencies". The only thing I don't like is that the ear prices aren't elasticized, so it's a bit floppy on smaller faces.
It really does feel like I'm wearing a jock strap over my face. However, it will serve to make the industrial N95 mask (the one with the cheek valve) more like the medical version.

I prefer the Y-front - but seriously why no elastic in the straps? Hanes surely has tons of that lagomorph777 Jul 2020 #3

The people who loved them wear them under a surgical mask to provide wicking comfort and to keep their glasses from fogging up too much.
I do think they need to use a more elastic elastic for the ears though. I think they're using panty leg opening stretchable binding tape instead of actual elastic.
On edit. People who use them and like them are generally home health care who need to extend the use of their medical grade masks.
If you are just wearing one by itself, it's not quite as effective.
Jokes aside, it might be a decent product.
