almondbutterandjelly Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 What masks do your husbands like? I have made some I like. Dd found some from Plato's Closet that she likes. Dh has disliked almost all of the ones we have. He wears them, but he has not found his mask-happy-place. He has hearing aids and glasses. Quote
prairiewindmomma Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 I had to custom sew for dh, but of the from-the-store variety, these from Target have worked best: https://www.target.com/p/2pk-men-s-fabric-face-masks-goodfellow-co/-/A-80274206?preselect=80215563#lnk=sametab They have a decent nose piece, don't gap on the sides, and there is a pocket so you can slip in some chiffon or silk to increase filtering. Dh has glasses, but not hearing aids. If he has a wrap around style HA, then I'd be inclined to replace the straps with a head-wrap style so there is no pulling around the ears. Those ears are busy enough dealing with a HA and glasses, iykwim. 1 Quote
desertflower Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 My husband doesn't wear glasses, but he's a big guy. He gets extra large. The name is Halo Life Face Mask - Reusable/Washable with replacement nanofiber filter - lightweight Ultra Breathable. It cost about $35 / mask. You can buy on amazon. It allows room for him to breathe while sealing around his nose. He has gone through a lot of mask too. It has adjustable straps around the ears. I hope he finds something. Good luck! Quote
Laura Corin Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 The key for Husband with glasses and hearing aids has been straps around the back of his head. My home made ones have been fine. 3 Quote
Selkie Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 My dh wears a mask for a few hours each day when he is around our employees or meeting with clients. He has found the Totobobo masks to be the most comfortable. 1 Quote
Kassia Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 My adult sons really like the ones from adidas. DH will wear anything, but he's hardly ever out. 1 Quote
stephanier.1765 Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Disposable. I've made a variety of styles and sizes for him and I've bought him a couple of Happy Masks but he still grabs for a disposable every time. 1 Quote
DoraBora Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 The only mask my husband can stand is one I made for him following Daisy Multifacetica's youtube video. I used a long piece of elactic so that it extends around the back of his neck and the back of his head. He hates earloops. I really should make another one for him. Here's the link: (I don't know why it's so big!) 2 Quote
kirstenhill Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 My hubby strongly prefers the style with 4 straps that tie. He likes that they don't go around the ears, and he can let it hang down around his chest if he is taking it off for a few minutes between errands or whatever. I found some solid black ones of this style on ebay. 1 Quote
marbel Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 We have all found that the masks from Old Navy work for all of us. There are newer ones with adjustable loops, so the bigger-headed of us can wear them comfortably. We have a stack of them by the door and people grab one or two on the way out, then they get thrown in the wash and we start all over again. 1 Quote
