Mask most similar to disposable surgical mask

Not looking for a debate on mask wearing, just need more as nearly all my reusable ones have gone walkabout. I actually like surgical ones the best but can't do it it to the environment. Where can I find reusable ones like this?

Watching with interest Smile

We have the Cambridge mask company Churchill masks which have little filters on them, I like them but recently read that ones with filters only help you, not others, which seems a bit off now.

I don't know but I agree that the disposable ones are best, especially in the summer. I remember wearing a thick fabric one on the train in July and it was absolutely suffocating!

The Uniqlo air ones are similarly breathable

Does someone in your area make them? They were the ones we all had at first.

I find using a silicone mask frame really helps.

I agree disposable ones are more comfortable, but with a mask frame cloth ones are OK. I bought some Boden masks, and with the silicone frame I can last quite a while.
