[quote=Anonymous]Because the disposable masks don’t fit well, often leave gaps on the sides, slide down when you attempt to talk, are flimsy, get dirty very quickly, are not reusable, are not washable, have thin elastic that digs in behind the ears, are expensive to use on a daily basis, are bad for the environment, and cannot be pushed down when necessary and pulled back up easily.

Also, we have been conditioned to believe that disposable masks, especially N-95 masks, are to be reserved for the healthcare workers. Anyone seen wearing them in the past was shamed or called a “hoarder.” Many people still believe this to be true.

The thin, pleated, light blue surgical masks that a lot of folks are wearing are downright scary to me. I wore one in an emergency and felt so unprotected.

Lastly, there is no way that I could afford to stock up on enough daily, disposable masks for our family of four for even a few months when I can simply wash our stock of cloth masks every few days. [/quote]
