Comfy face masks?

Ok so I'm a mask moaner. I wasn't to start with, but after wearing the mask for the past few days I'm now pissed off. In theory masks seem like the only way to move forward with our lives at this time. Great. However, I absolutely hate the feel of something pushing over the bridge of my nose. I don't wear sunglasses for this reason, so mask wearing is not something I'm enjoying at all. On top of that, I've got some of those horrible surgical looking blue and white ones that seems too big for my face and spends the entire time creeping up toward my eyeballs so that every time I blink I can feel my eyelashes bashing into the material. As a result, I'm then fiddling with it and readjusting it which surely defeats the object of wearing one in the first place.

So...I'm looking for anyone who has come across a genuinely comfortable face mask, preferably reusable, that they can recommend.

Have you tried crossing over the elastic before putting it around your ears?

I also found that having my hair down and tucking hair around the elastic helps, but I have big hair Blush I

I wish I had big hair! I will try crossing the elastic as that may help with one of my two issues.

I have oddballs ones and wear it upside down as I have a small nose and it doesn't fit properly.

Interested in this thread?

Ended too early, but upside down it's not only comfy but doesn't fog my glasses up

Try making one, they're easy to do. There are loads of different styles on YouTube showing you how to make one. You can experiment with different types to find one you feel most comfortable wearing.

We have these (the company very kindly donated a box load to our village) and they are soft, stretchy and comfortable. There is an inner pocket to add a tissue to stop the mask getting damp too quickly:

I ordered some from TotsBots (they also make reusable nappies) which I think are quite comfortable
