Question

Does anyone have any tips for keeping your mask on? I have a hand sewn mask with cloth ties and have a hard time keeping it up. The best I can do is to wear a ponytail and have the knots in the back rest on top but that’s imperfect. I’m assuming I’m missing something obvious. So how do you keep yours up?  

Answer 1

Curvysense. com. We wear them 8+ hours every day. So comfy. Washes daily in a lingerie bag and hang dry.  

Answer 2

Ponytail is my only sure bet too.  

Answer 3

Bobby pins or barrettes ? Maybe I dunno

Answer 4

Would “S hooks” work @calm20

Answer 5

Hair clip or Bobby pins, headband or hat over the strings or just tying it tighter might helpS

Answer 6

I take a little clip and clip it in the back.  

Answer 7

I use paper clips and they work great

Answer 8

I make the ones with ties. You have to put the top strap over the top of your ears and tie it tight. Where your sunglasses would go. It will stay in place. The mask has to be on the bridge of your nose or it won’t stay right. I wear mine with and without a pony tail.  

Answer 9

I like the masks with ear loops & then I use an ‘ear saver’ clip to hold it on snuggly. I definitely prefer to have my mask to fit snug bc then it doesn’t slide up into my eyes or block my vision . I wear one 8-20hrs a day  

Answer 10

Send me a pic of your mask

@mychael1160 I forgot it in the car but it’s this style with the fabric ties. It’s kind of staying when I wear a ponytail and use hair clips but that approach doesn’t work for my son. I’ll try Bobby pins for him as soon as I remember to buy them.

@electrolytic I can make him one like I made for Natalie. It’s hard to explain, but it’s a single tie that runs through both sides. The top piece is connected and slides in place. The bottom is what ties and does the adjusting for both parts. Does that make sense?

Looks like this (but mine is adjustable)

@mychael1160 that looks great! I’d love one!

@electrolytic I am hoping to make more this weekend. I’ll shoot you a message if I get to it
