I was thinking two each would be enough ?

@NotGenerationAlpha the fluid resistance is another aspect of the cycling masks that I like. I mean they're designed to be worn by people exercising so yeah that works.

My school has already been in touch to say masks should not be worn in school. If worn to school, they should be stored in a sealed container or bag provided by parents.

I bought a pack of 3 face masks in Sainsburys and also bought two from Binge Designs www.bingedesigns.com/collections/face-masks
With the ones I've made, we all have three each, which I think is enough. They get chucked in the washing machine after use, so there's always one available for whoever needs it.

I have 3 boxes of 50 disposable masks. I go into shops a couple of times a week. My daughter has a reusable one. So I reckon these will last me a few months.

I have ordered three reusable ones from Etsy which I plan to use mostly.

I also have a packet of 10 disposable ones as a back-up in my medicine cupboard. I want to use reusables though. I only bought the disposables because I thought that at short notice I might have to get to my parents (health crises and vulnerable) and at the time had nothing available.

All more or less sorted now, I think.
