@Fribwl Lug’s website has a couple colors left but no prints. They went fast in their website too (Luglife.com).

I think more people would wear a face mask but they don't have one and don't know where to get one.

My friend makes them. I paid her and gave them out to friends and family.

Then when I saw QVC was selling them, I bought the package of 50. I've been giving those out too.

I can breathe easier in the QVC ones than the home made ones (it's just the material).

I was going to order the Lug ones too, but they ran out quickly!!

I've had an order with Amazon for a box of masks - disposable - since April. They are suppose to be delivered first week of June!! I do have a heavy fabric one, but I find it too difficult to breath!!

This week Target was selling disposable masks, made out of fabric, 10 for $15. Then also at a local grocery chain, they were selling the type that QVC sold, 10 for $10. It seems like they are slowly making their way onto shelves.

I happened to be watching when they were presented. Yes, they went in a flash.

I ordered fast because I wanted a fabric mask and trust Lug will make a good one and it has a soft inner lining over the mouth and nose area. Only wish they were not three

all the same pattern.

How can one be effective without that wire to fit around your nose?

Unless a mask fits snugly around the face and nose, it is not as affective. Even the ones they passed out when I was going in to work ( Health Care Facility), they stil had a gap on the sides, even though there was a wire we could pinch to fit it around our noses.

We have two scientists in our family. They both believe the non-medical grade masks are pretty useless. They are good for reminding you not to touch your face, but that is about all the good it does. They say it gives false sense of safety. Just their opinion of course!

Yep! I'm believing that more and more. Some of this is just common sense, which seems to be lacking these days. Just give me the facts and I'll figure out how to protect myself.

Thank you QVC and Lug.

Just bought 2 sets. So glad these came back quickly

Re: Lug Face Mask

Catch71 — Sun, 24 May 2020 13:13:04 GMT

These are even better as you get 3 different colors. I bought the set they showed today on the Lug website; same price but $5.00 shipping.

Re: Lug Face Mask

Catch71 — Sun, 24 May 2020 13:14:24 GMT

I actually cancelled my original order than sold out fast, and ordered the set offered today with 3 different patterns.

I don't know if they had any cotton masks but the one still available is 100% polyester.

I found nice 100% cotton, 2 & 3 layered, masks at Zazzle and Etsy. The ones I got at Amazon are sold out now. I always carry extra because I give them to people who haven't been able to get one. I stick with cotton since, to me, polyester is like wearing a plastic bag in the summer.

I agree! IMO they are being recommended to give people a feeling that they're doing something to keep themselves safe. I only wear one when I enter a store that requires it. Otherwise, I just keep my distance.

Face masks are to protect OTHERS from YOU, not to protect you from others.

They help keep your breath/cough/shout/sneeze from traveling as far. When combined with social distancing, they help protect others from the stuff escaping you.

I'm really surprised people don't know this by now.

I can't see how they don't benefit the wearer and have to be doing at least some good. If the virus can be spread by droplets from infected people in the air from a cough or sneeze or singing
(the problem in churches) if you are wearing a decent mask with enough layers and a filter I would think that would keep you from breathing in those droplets or getting them in your mouth or eyes. It seems wearing a mask has to be better than not wearing one and protect the wearer as well as others.

@Pearlee, ITA!!! Common sense would dictate that masks are protecting the person who is wearing them and the people who are near them.
