| These non-medical-grade face masks are made
with two layers of pre-machine washed and dried 100% cotton, made in a smoke- and fragrance-free, two-cat home. There are two sizes: medium for most adult faces and large for larger faces. * A medium mask averages 8 inches wide, and about 5 inches from the top of the mask near the nose to the bottom of the mask. * A large mask averages 9 inches wide, and about 6 inches from the top of the mask near the nose to the bottom of the mask. * These masks fit most people, but they may not fit a very narrow face or unusually shaped head. I may be able to adjust the pattern. A removable pipe cleaner in a slot along the top of the mask allows you to fit the mask snugly to your nose. * If the pipe cleaner is difficult to reinsert, the seam may be blocking the slot. Carefully use a barbecue skewer to open the slot the entire way. There is a pocket for a removable filter (paper towel, napkin, fabric, etc.; not included). Elastic is used to hook the mask behind the ears. It is removable and could be replaced with another type of binding, such as shoe laces or T-shirt yarn. Hand or machine wash, removing the pipe cleaner and any non-reusable filter. Air or machine dry. (Don't microwave them, as some thread may be polyester or metallic, which can catch on fire in a microwave.)

(Keep in mind that all of these comments are from my friends): * I have several of Mickey's masks. They're great, I don't use anything else. -- Rob L. * They are fabulous: made beautifully and with a perfect fit. -- Phyllis J. * It's by far the most comfortable mask I have, which is why I want more! * They are the best masks I own! Very comfortable, great fabric, and they're my only masks with the wire in them. -- Amy S. * The masks arrived today, and they are terrific. They are lovely, fit well, and so far seem less likely to fog up my glasses. -- Carol L. * Your wonderful masks arrived today and they're my new favorites! The cut is perfect: generous around the chin and angled well from center to sides. The fabric is beautiful in look and feel. * They are REALLY comfortable and the first I can wear without my glasses fogging! -- Mickey [no relation] R. * My glasses fog up a little when I first put the mask on, but it subsides pretty quickly. I like the way the mask fits around my nose and slopes downward on the sides. When I try to fit regular paper masks under my glasses, the top edges of the mask brush the bottom of my eyes which is annoying and probably not a good idea in terms of spreading the virus. The pocket on your mask for a filter is also a great feature. |
