My New Favorite Mask

Cloth masks are getting harder to find!
I just got a few new ones, and I really like this design. The gusset for your chin makes them really great- I also got some straps for my masks.

It's crazy that I have actually retired most of my early-pandemic masks from use/washing and am onto replacements at this point. Between pandemic and wildfires, I'm starting to doubt there will be a time when masks are no longer part of our lives, at least in some capacity.

I've gone through two sets (I've been wearing them all day every day most of this time)...and every time I find some that I like, they stop making them!

Hmm . I like these - just might have to order the grey/ black set . Masks are still very much mandatory here everywhere so my need has never tapered off .

I like the added gusset on the bottom - thanks for the link!

Jenn - last year during the Bobcat fire we bought an air purifier - used it in the den during the day, in the bedroom at night. But yeah - definitely masks at all times.

Good to know, Khris!

What Jenn and Suz said. I also wore through my first sets of masks.

Masks are mandatory indoors in the state of WA, so yup - lots of mask wearing around here. In my building too. (We live in a loft downtown).

We like these best from Wayre, and have just restocked. Greg wears the adult size in black and grey. I wear the kids size in white:

We also wear medical and N95 masks.

Angie, the Wayre masks are our favorites too, along with medical and N-95s for higher risk situations.

Sloper, we have talked about air purifiers for the house as well. Probably would have added some already if the smoke this year were as bad as last (although the season isn't over yet, so...)

Thanks for the tip! I ordered some for my family (I almost never leave the house).
My favorites are Cambridge Mask Company. I have the ones with a valve, and then I layer a surgical mask over the top.

Yes, I’m starting to weed out tired masks and the ones that weren’t quite all that in the first place. I rather like the Uniqlo airism masks. But the ones that Runcarla and I made at the beginning are still the most functional for 8 hours throwing flour around. Runcarla does good quality

Thanks rachylou! I’m still making 2-3 dozen masks each month for charity and refreshing the family stash. Everything is 3-ply now.

I just saw an article that some airlines aren't allowing the cloth masks anymore- just N95 and such. Shoooot....
Love RunCarlas masks
