How To Wear a Face Mask
Good article my husband found about different face masks and how to wear them:
Wearing face masks takes a bit of getting used to and there is sometimes confusion about how our face masks are to be worn. Different people have different preferences, but I think the best way to wear them is with the top elastic band quite high up on the head.
The chap in the photo actually doesn’t wear his masks like this, preferring to have the top elastic band a bit lover (see photo with the otter mask). I think that squashes the top of the ear a bit but he prefers it that way. In any case the top elastic has to go above the ear, not below.
If you don’t like either of these, you can easily cut the elastic in half at the top, remove the toggle and knot the elastic into ear loops. Most face masks are sold like this but I think our masks give you the option of doing both. My nine-year-old will have nothing but loops for the ears and for children that is possibly the best way.
Hi Can you recommend how often you should wash the mask as I heard that you should wash it every time you have it on
Hi Janis, that is right. Treat it as “dirty” every time you wear it. I put ours in with the usual wash. I have 4 children so I wash quite a lot. It’s okay to hand wash them as well if you haven’t got enough to put on a load..
