How many masks do you have per kid and where did you get them?

Anonymous
I have 3 kids and each kid has 2 masks each. A friend made us some and then another friend gave us one for each kid. They are washable. I also just ordered some from Disney but they are back ordered. I feel like I should be getting more for when school starts.

I did get a box of N95 and blue medical masks for adults but they are too big for the kids’ faces.

I have 2-3 masks per family member - all cotton and machine washable.

I have family who lives in Taiwan- there, if you show your ID card, you get a box of masks free every 10 days. They have extras so they send them to us (kid size and adult size). This started back when you couldn’t even buy surgical masks. But hey, MAGA!!

25 per kid

We have about 3 reusable masks per family member, but mostly because it took a while to find styles we liked. I also have disposable masks and have ordered some that supposedly fit kids (we'll see).

You will either need to wash each use, or let it sit 72 hours between uses. So how many you need kind of depends on how much laundry you do.

My kids often misplace their items so I will probably need 10 per kid.

I have 6 per kid, machine washable. We wear them when outside (including hikes because you may pass people) so we need that many to wash for each use.

Same. But sometimes we give him one of the surgical masks that we have a supply of. Just use one of those ear savers so it fits him. He prefers them but we are careful with our supply.

We just have a couple for each of us - maybe 3. They are really easy to make. Do you have a sewing machine?

7per kid that are well made and about 5 additional per kid that are so-so.

1 per kid. They have only worn them a few times each (dentist, grocery store). They aren't wearing them when they are just outside playing or doing sports.

Has anyone found kids size paper masks?

We have five total that we share between two kids. We also have four adult ones that they can wear in a pinch.

I haven't counted but we have a drawer full. Maybe 15+ per person but I made them and can always make more. We also have disposable for doctor and other things.

2 or 3 each. Mostly Amazon, but Vogmask too when they are in stock. They have 4 different sizes. And they are easy to breathe through, but pricey.

We each have one cloth mask, ordered from someone local. DC #1 needs it 3x/week for work and DC #2 needs it 3x/week for swim practice. I wear mine 1-2x/week for grocery shopping and I've had the occasional medical appointment. Once in a while there are other times we need them, like going to the farmers market, etc. DH wears his daily every other week at work. When he goes grocery shopping or to Home Depot or something, he wears an N95 (we found a few in our garage, left over from our home addition a few years ago).

I just got a sewing machine and am teaching myself to use it, so I'll try to make a few more for each of us eventually. If that doesn't work out then I'll order the kids 1-2 more each before school starts.
