It's such a dope mask but IDK if they're secretly useless or something. I've been using disposable cloth masks thus far, at least since my N95s ran out

they're not useless. cloth masks are actually pretty good at filtering incoming stuff too

but i will warn against buying cheap masks on amazon. we did and they're pretty poorly made, and are hard to breathe.

we got our cloth masks at old navy. cheap, but well made, and they look good too

People who call masks useless fail to understand the fundamental reasons for wearing them.

If you use a bucket to go fishing, you're going to call the bucket useless. If you shit on a fishing pole, you'll call the fishing pole useless.

I think you've misread my intentions with this topic. I just didn't know if cloth was an effective barrier for expulsions from my nose and mouth

Cute mask. Amazon treats their staff like poop and had a horrible COVID response.

Reusable masks sounds as interesting to me as reusable condoms. Hell nah brah.

Just make sure it can create a seal and it's fine. Washing it everyday is recommended too, as long as it's never still drying when you wear it.

who do you recommend?

Yeah just make sure its dry, wet things tend to accumulate everything and can double your risk of exposure (assertion is not science based, but meh - something to think about)

This.

Also I prefer reusable masks because I'd rather not add more waste to the ocean with disposables

I thought reusable ones just flat out can't make a seal? AFAIK it's only the n95s that do

I'd check to see if there are local mask makers in your region or ask around on your social media networks.
