Face Masks - USA Made

I am not new to QVC just new to posting to the boards. Wanted to help out with face masks. Just Google Gina Gomez Photography, Murphy NC. She does beautiful photography and is now making face masks. Once on her website click on Face Mask and choose the ones you want.

I just bought the cutest face masks, 10 bucks each at Dippin Daisy. It is a USA swimwear company. So the fabric is not always cotton, but they are breathable. My 25 year old granddaughter has some and showed me. They have this pocket on inside that holds a replaceable thin filter thing.

one of the best places I hear (by massive favorable feedback ) is Los Angeles Appearal. They are made in Los Angeles. They are loved because they have this thin, thin wire in the seam of upper hem you can mold over your the area above your nose. There are also a few ways you can tie it. They are 10@ as well. They seem a little larger tha the ones from Dippin Daisy Swimwear

Thanks @shoekitty- I did check those out and they have some cute prints, and they do have 3 layer construction, but they are 80% nylon, 20% spandex (makes sense for a swimwear company) but no cotton. They have the filter which is a huge plus. Looks like they charge nearly $7 for shipping unless you spend $50 (which I wouldn't).

I was also looking at LA Apparel (posted about it on another thread). Gets a lot of great reviews, 100% french terry cotton with the nose piece. Also comes in quite a few colors. But yes, does look bigger and heavier. Looks like they may charge $5 shipping for 3 masks/$30.

Both look like they come from LA and both donate to essential workers. I'm wondering how long each takes to process the order and ship? Since I'm in CA it wouldn't take long once it ships.

A colleague also sent me info on Vistaprint masks. They are on preorder and ship 5/28. Also have filters but are more expensive - $18 each with free shipping. Sure wish they had been 2 for $18 or $10 each! Plus they don't ship from the West Coast so would take longer for me to receive. But some are super cute!

I've pruchased masks from amazon that I wear but they could be a little bigger. I've alson purchased better ones at etsy that fit really well. Some are more for me and more for my husband. Many sites have literally tons of masks, some nice other not so much. Some for great prices others not really good at all. Some arrive really quickly within just days, others take too long.

Just a thought here. The masks may be made here but the material is probably from an Asian country and treated with chemicals. I would thoughly wash them and dry them on high heat in your dryer.

There are 2 companies in LA that are manufacturing masks, aviatorusa and American Giant. A company in VA Breathehealthy has been making masks for years.

We got ours from Oklahoma shirt co. They came in either black or white. Also LA apparal co, and Stephanie Dawn. They come in a 5 pack. Pretty prints and solid colors.
All three places are good. And they're comfortable to wear around the ears.

Where can I buy filters to fit inside masks?

Re: Face Masks - USA Made

msgb — Wed, 13 May 2020 15:24:55 GMT

I bought some off a compression garment site--Ames Walker. They are made in the USA as well. They are in sets. THere is room also to put in a filter. They are washable as well.

They are made of the compression garment material. (I wear a strong compression garment on one leg due to a DVT).
