Easy fix for cloth masks falling down your nose. If you

[pwb]

have a hot glue gun cut the metal bend bar off of a paper mask and hot glue it to the inside of your cloth mask.

It works pretty good on neck Gaiters too.

1. When my wife makes cloth masks

she sews a pipe cleaner into that seam on the mask. Works really well.

[GoCubsGo]

2. You can also purchase them on Amazon, etc.

A hundred of them, with adhesive backing are under $4 for 100 of them. I also recommend looking into "mask brackets." They're cheap, and they make breathing easier.

3. The band from coffee bags work quite well.

[John Ludi]

4. THIS...

I've used those in the ones I've made and modded them into all the ones I've bought. MUCH better than those regular ones.

[fierywoman]

5. Brilliant idea!

[SWBTATTReg]

10. Clever! Never would have thought of this! Thanks!

[Chainfire]

6. You can recycle an aluminum soda can for the same purpose.

Just, for God in Heaven's sakes, don't use your wife's good scissors!

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Why?

I'm really good at sharpening blades! Gives me something to do!

[Phentex]

16. Love this!

[Ferrets are Cool]

18. I wouldn't be alive to do the sharpening if she caught me doing that

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Well, That's Definitely A Problem!

But, to be fair, I was talking about MY wife's good scissors.
She's very killing averse!

[LizBeth]

7. Mine have a little metal thing that bends. Was three months in before I notice. I love it.

[applegrove]

8. Smart. Do they wash well?

[pwb]

11. Will get back to you on that.

I have not washed mine since I did that. Hand wash I would guess is best?

[applegrove]

13. Yes. That would work.

[SWBTATTReg]

9. How about two sided tape on the bridge of your nose? Hah ha heh...good tips here, though,

I do have a few cloth masks that friends have made for us, good suggestions. By the way, I actually did the double tape thing one on my bridge of my nose...it actually worked, for a while that is.

[SergeStorms]

14. I've seen people...

using band-aids. Those also work well for people who wear glasses, to keep your exhaled breath from escaping upward and fogging your glasses.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

[SWBTATTReg]

17. You got it! I didn't know about the band-aids...they don't seem to stick for very long, but maybe

get newer ones (mine are pretty old)...take care!

[The Roux Comes First]

23. I Was Thinking a Couple Snaps Embedded in Nose Might Have a Longer Life! (nfm)

[Iggo]

12. I was using booby tape, but I'm double-masking now, paper under cloth.

The tape works. But ya better get it right the first time. Sticks too well the first time, with diminishing returns on reapplications.

I suck at hotlinking jpg’s from my phone, but if you google “fashion tape”, you’ll see what I mean.

[Skittles]

20. why not just wear a tighter mask

I've never had that problem

[Iggo]

25. Oh, you're no fun!

[Skittles]

26. sorry

I see these people being interviewed and they keep having to adjust their mask and I don't get why they just don't tighten the straps.

[Iggo]

30. That's why I started using booby tape. That mask ain't goin'nowhere!

You gotta pull it up from the bottom or pull out a couple dozen blackheads, know’m say’n?

I’m double-masking right now cause California ain’t no fuckin’ joke. But I got some of those hooks coming, the kind where you connect the two straps behind your head instead of looping them over your ears. Because you’re right...wear a tighter mask.

😎👍🏽

21. Saw this adveritized on TV

fwiw https://www.4ocean.com/products/4ocean-face-mask-support-frames?variant=37976782405825

[nilram]

22. How does it work with regard to gaps at the nose

and chin? Looks like those would be increased.

[DeminPennswoods]

29. No idea, sorry

Just saw the ad.

[JI7]

24. Why not just wear the paper mask ?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

27. You need an Optigrab

[Demsrule86]

28. I use a little piece of hospital tape...keeps your glassed from fogging too.

[Chakaconcarne]

31. I use a clothes pin.
