I know, everyone's selling them. Looking for tried and true, most comfortable and cute, at least 3 layers, 100% cotton. Also kids masks.

Thanks!

Shop on Etsy! There are hundreds of mask makers who can custom make adorable masks in any size, with proper thickness. Some are 3 layers, and some are two layers with a pocket to insert a disposable filter. You can even direct message them to discuss exactly what you want.

Not only can you get cute masks to coordinate with all of your outfits, and ones that will appeal to your kids so they'll want to wear them - you'll be supporting small SAHM businesses that otherwise would be suffering financially from the shut downs.

By giving individuals your money directly, instead of buying from a manufacturer, you can feel good about knowing that you are rebuilding the economy on a person by person basis.

ETA: You can even shop by location, to shorten shipping distance. This will help reduce your carbon footprint.

Thanks, FF! I actually have made a few orders from Etsy but wasn't thrilled with them. Happy to hear specific suggestions though if you have a tried & true one!

Anyone else?

I really like the ones from Shirtspace.com. Very soft.

Very expensive but these Israeli masks are anti-viral: https://sonoviatech.com/shop/?.....novia

I was very happy with DoubleJoyDesigns on Etsy
Both the adults and kids washable masks are great
(I tried the one with the nose wire and did not like the 3D shape, sticking to the other style)

I make my own 😎. My favorites have lace edging and beading... I'm loving making my masks a fashion statement!

Has anyone tried the Gap masks? They have really cute patterns, wondering about the fabric and fit

I bought the GAP masks when they first came out - back in May. I was very disappointed. The material is a heavy cotton - think boys chinos - I can't breath at all. Also it said "assorted pattern", but from the five, three were the same pattern - and it was awful.

Things definitely may have changed since then...

I just ordered a bunch from target. Haven't tried them yet. But the price was right...

These are the only ones I can tolerate. You can sew a Small colored stitch or tie a small ribbon around the loops to differentiate which one belongs to which family member.

Yes, for my kids. They run a little big.

Adidas face masks are really comfortable.

Looking to buy my daughter a mask for school. This is not about a fashion statement but it should be as comfortable as possible without compromising efficiency. does such a thing exist?
(she wore the disposable ones all summer and was comfortable in them, but I hear that they are not the most effective.)

Anyone know how the target masks run? For kids ages 4-16?

They run large and slip down easily. Not a fan
