Best small sized adult or child face masks

13 replies

Me and my dds all have small sized heads and the masks I've tried are too big.

I have a set from Baukjen which came with a few of the smaller size ones but they are mostly standard adult size.

Also tried a few standard size from Etsy - too big!

Any recommendations please?

I got a child one from Vistaprint for myself. It took a while to arrive but fits well.

Thank you, not cheap are they? But looks good quality.

I just use some standard surgical masks but I hook the elastic bits around my ponytail (obviously at the back of my head!).
Gives a really close fit all around - nose, chin AND no gaping at the cheeks.
If you've got enough hair for a ponytail, it's a good option.

Disposable ones @Jocasta2018? I'm looking for washable cloth ones.

You can also get a closer fit by crossing the straps before looping over your ears.

I have some from Gap, a mixture of adult and children sized, and I wore a child's one to the supermarket last night, fits really well. Depends how small you are though- I'm 5'0", and weigh just under 8st, my head is in proportion. DD is 5'4" and she wore the adult's mask, but we had to put slip knots in the elastic to make it snug enough. The masks are nice and soft, but I went on their website to order more, and all the adult ones are gone!
I also have ordered some from StemPunkwear, who do five different sizes, Inc small adult, but they're yet to arrive, so I don't know how close the fit will be (ordered small adult, as DS is almost same size as me (shorter, but larger jaw).
I'll update when they arrive, but they have quite a backlog ATM, as they're a small producer.

Sadly I didn't find any reusable ones that fitted even with crossing the straps over my ears so I'm using disposable ones.

These are excellent and come in different sizes. The elastic goes around the back of your head instead of pinching your ears.

Like the look of the Stempunkwear ones, might order a S adult and L child to try.

If you are both able to tie you hair back. Take each elasticated hoop and pull your pony tail through it. I do this for work although after tomorrow I'll be reverting to the tie method or paper clip method. Mask will then be snug to your face and you also don't get the irritation on your ears because the straps are higher up. Other option is tie a knot mid way down but this does irritate after a while because the knots tend to press right into the ears

I got some from Sew Sista/Vogue masks voguemasks.co.uk/ in size 3 which is petite/child, and they were perfect. Think they are about £7-8 as standard but I got a sale one which was a fiver, it's free delivery but I paid £1 for faster delivery as I'd lost my other one and I wanted a replacement quickly. It came the next day. Lots of designs, in all sorts of interesting patterns, if that's important to you. I have a couple from Vistaprint which took bloody ages to arrive, nearly 4x the price and I don't think they're any better.

You can try the masks from UK-Respirators.co.uk

We have bought them and make adjustments to the straps for our children and they work well.
