Face Mask Sizes
Who ever thought that face size would be a thing!
Most of our customers find that our medium adult size fits best, however, some people find the large size is more suited to them, mostly men, it seems. The chap with the floppy hair is our 18-year-old wearing a medium adult sized face mask, in charcoal. (Brave chap that he is he has agreed to let me cut his hair now, once I get a break from sewing face masks…..)
The medium three layer style measures about 15cm from top to bottom, the large one 16cm.
For teenagers we recommend the medium adult size, it’s a little more generously fitted (as you can see it goes higher up the nose) but still creates a snug fit because of the nose wire and adjustable elastic.
The lass wearing the cat print adult face mask is our 14-year old. Our 16-year old certainly needs a medium adult size too.
The child size fits rather well on our nine-year old. In a moment of madness he has tried to cut his own hair (I thought only toddlers did this….) but was still game to have his photo here, bless him…..
Our Four Layer Masks are a little roomier than the three layer models and go a little more under the chin. The medium size can also be ordered with extra nose room. Medium four layer masks measure approx. 16 cm from top to bottom, the large ones approx. 17 cm. The large four layer version has been popular with proud owners of beards, long chins and large noses. Feedback about these has been nothing but positive. Check out our brilliant feedback and comments on Trustpilot or on Etsy.
Read more about our four layer masks here. All our masks have the overhead elastic as standard. This is much preferred by people wearing glasses or hearing aids. You can also just pull the mask down to have it dangling ’round your neck when not in use. Combined with the nose wire (which stops the glasses from steaming up) the elastic and toggle create a snug fit, whilst still making it easy to breathe. If you don’t like the overhead elastic, simply snip it at the top, remove the toggles and knot the newly created ends to size.

One of my favourite feedback comments on Etsy is this one:
“Absolutely wonderful service from Kathie @ Blythe and Bonnie.
From not finding a mask traditionally online, the Uk’s current most fashionable was a loss to me and restricted my access to return to work. Kathi helped ensure a great fit for a mask and one that works both for a Glasses and Hearing Aid wearer!
Kathie’s super service, care and concern for fit and comfort was most welcome. You’ve given me back my freedom.”
Thank you!!
My husband who wears hearing aids found this mask to be the best yet. Comfortable, fits well and he was so pleased. Excellent service Kathie.
So pleased it works for him! Hopefully we won’t have to wear them for too much longer now!
