ISO the thinnest, lightest kids masks

[Anonymous]

Could the etsy shoppers post some links? I want the absolute lightest, thinnest kind but not in an obvious-this-mask-is-pantyhose way.

You are really selfish. How about the other kids in the school not vaccinated? Their health doesn't matter because you want to pretend your kid are low risk. If you kids are in person, seeing friends and family they are high risk. And, you high risk behavior puts our kids at high risk. Wearing a good mask is the least you can do to keep all our kids safe.

False.

Cloth masks are not approved or regulated by any health agency and depending on the tightness of the weave, can be pretty useless to protect against viruses. Those with a tight weave are hard to breathe through.

That's why disposable hospital, lab or construction masks are always better. Get a N95, KN95, or, for a child's face, a child KF94. They are certified and regulated by their respective countries (the standards of which are just as high as in the US) and are much lighter and easier to breather in than cloth masks - and they're also SAFER.

You don't need to throw them away after each use, as long as they're not wet (which alters the inner lining). Just buy several packs, and rotate through them, laying the used ones in the sun for a few hours to kill germs (or a clean, dry place for several days). Throw them away when they get too dirty.

- research scientist used to wearing masks.

Are you batsh!t crazy? Send a kid to school all day in an N95 type mask?!!??

You are going to listen to someone who preaches reusing the masks and not washing them. Gross.

Just make your own. Not hard to do. I make ours.

No, true, if your kids are in person and being exposed to multiple other people they are at high risk.

My son started out school in the cotton old navy masks and suddenly had tonsil stones and bad breath CONSTANTLY. Switched to kids size surgical masks and the problem resolved itself before we went to an ENT.

I don't use and have never used the disposable masks because I already am responsible for putting enough junk into landfills. My kids will keep using the same few Target masks I bought a year ago. Though, if I do need to get more I'll look into these gauze/muslin suggestions.

Ugh. The only masks my kid likes are the surgical ones and they gave him horrible acne in the spring.

No kidding. These disposable masks are horrible for the environment. And did you get the memo that the virus spreads as an aerosol. Have you ever seen anyone wear a surgical mask that isn’t gapping at the cheeks?

My kids must have godlike immune systems then because they have never gotten COVID!

It usually spreads in households. Including nursing homes, prisons, homeless shelters - they are basically large households. Most exposures don’t result in infection.

I wash mine with Dr Bronners Sal Suds or their Castille, hang dry. So my kid doesn't breathe in chemicals all day

You can actually run load of detergent using Sal Suds too. I dilute 1.5 tablespoons in little water, then pour into detergent thing
