Disposable masks with NO nose bridge

Do they exist anymore? I’m trying to find some cheap disposable masks that don’t have an adjustable nose bridge as they just don’t work with my glasses. I’ve looked on eBay and Amazon and can’t seem to see any.

I last bought a pack of plain white ones from Homebargains but don’t have the bloomin box anymore to help me get the same style and Homebargains didn’t have any large packs of disposables at all in today when I went to get some.

Has anyone seen any please that don’t cost the earth?

Why don’t they work with your glasses, OP? I’m a retired doctor, and wore that type of mask with my glasses in the operating theatre for decades. I still wear them now with my glasses when shopping. Ditto all my spec wearing friends.

My glasses seem to sit on top of the nose bridge, like perched on top as the nose bridge is in the way of where my glasses nose gap should be if you get what I mean. So they are then not on my face properly and slide down.

My glasses are similar to these.

You are maybe trying to wear the mask too high up, OP? It needs to cover your nostrils, obviously, but you don’t have to pull it right up almost to your eyes.
I find mine is handy for stopping my specs slipping down, as I have it just below the bridge of my specs.
Just a thought, as it’s easier to find masks with a nose strip than without. Also, they fit tighter to your nose, as you can bend the strip to mould to your nose shape. Soft masks tend to gape a bit.
Mind you, I remember one of my surgeons was operating and I noticed his specs were slowly sliding down his nose. I asked if he’d like me to pull them up or tape them, and he testily replied that he liked them on the end of his nose.
Two minutes later, they fell into the patient’s thyroidectomy wound!

Just wear the ones with nose bit upside down if it's a real issue.
