How to order a CUSTOM MASK
Sizing your mask correctly
To make sure your mask fits you just right, measure your face in two places:
-
from upper middle of your nose, across the bony part to bottom of chin
-
from ear to ear (see pictures)
About the masks
Washing
All masks are made of 100% cotton (unless stated otherwise) and are pre-washed, hence some may look wrinkled ; )
I recommend you wash your mask daily, or after 4-6 hours of use. Wash in warm soapy water, if machine washing remember to remove the nose wire (recommended). You can wash your mask on regular cycle. Air dry, iron, and wear again.
Filter Ideas
You can make an easy filter with a folded tissue paper, kitchen (or shop) paper towel, a cotton handkerchief, or even with a cut HEPA filter (some manufacturers weave metal particles into filtering material, so do your part and research the material you're using). PM 2.5 charcoal activated filters fit most masks, but their best purpose is filtering dust rather than bacteria or viruses.
For virus protection Halyard Sterilization Material can be used (purchase in my online store) and it is the material that surgical masks are made with. Clean Halyard under UVc light or spray thoroughly with 70% alcohol, allow it to air dry completely before reuse. If you would like to try the Halyard filter write me a note and I will include a sample with your mask order. This is the filter I use.
Nose bridge wire
You can purchase extra nose bridge wire from my store. All masks arrive with the softer more pliable wire. If you are ordering Custom Mask, you will have a choice which nose bridge wire you'd prefer. If you are ordering from available stock, you can write me a note if you want a stronger nose piece, so I can switch it for no extra charge.
