Mask question...

[Hekate]

29. I wash every time. It's taken me this long to feel I have more than enough...

I have a stash of N95s left over from the last big regional fire, but they are painfully uncomfortable. The first two cloth masks were gifts from my SIL, but the elastic is too short and hurts.

From Amazon I got a 5-pack of white cotton washable face masks, brand name VTER, $19.95. They’re comfortable for me, 2 thick layers, and machine washable. I am just not out of the house that much to worry about running out, but I do like being able to use one for my errands and then put it in a mesh bag for washing. Turns out I’m sanitizing all my purchases like crazy when I get home, and re-wearing the mask for the next day just doesn’t feel right.

Yesterday when we were at Costco I saw a multi-pack that was very affordable, $12 for 4 I think it was. Those are machine washable, polyester/spandex, 4-pack face cover, brand name 32 Degrees Cool. They are black, stretchy, thin, and light, and I see a lot of people wearing what looks like the same thing. Sometimes they wear a colorful cloth mask over it, which is what I may do since 32* Cool is a single layer.

That’s all. Everybody has to find their own comfort zone these days.
