I am looking for some masks for my teenage daughter. Adult masks seem to be a little big on her but kids masks are too small. Any advice? Any good ones that you have found? Extra points if it is a style/design that a teen would like...

I got masks from a seller on Etsy. They come in small, medium, large and x large so you could find a good size for her. They are also made with quilting fabric with two layers and a pocket for a disposable filer. Quilting fabric is the recommended fabric. There are a lot of choices for material so I would imagine you could find one that she liked.

Most retailers now sell cloth masks with all kinds of different styles but I wasn’t sure if the material used was quilting cotton and I specifically wanted a cloth mask made from quilting cotton.

I also got kn95 masks which aren’t pretty but are good for higher risk situations like being in a small space for an enclosed period of time.

You can tie a knot in the ear piece of an adult one to make it fit better.

Masks made from stretchy t-shirt material are not considered to work as well as cloth masks made from other denser materials.

As I posted, the best cloth masks are made with cotton with two layers. Even better if one layer is silk chiffon because it has electrostatic effect which helps traps aerosolized virus.

My older girls fit the bigger size kids mask from Target. In fact it works for all 3 of my girls.

If you put in a chiffon layer, the two together equal one regular cotton woven.
