(9,073 posts)7. I use miniature claw clips and just put the elastic inside and pull it around back and hook the
other loop in. When I remove my mask I just squeeze it and it comes right off with the elastic loop inside so I don't even touch the mask.
The mask fits snugly, leaving no gaps. I also can use the clip (with the mask attached) to hang it up.

Takes the pressure off my ears, and gives a snugger mask fit.
