@occasionalrain You might want to read theCDC guidelines on choosing and wearing masks. "Cute" is not among the criteria.

@Tadaki Maybe I wasn't clear. I got three masks from Etsy sellers. One was made of a knit fabric (like athletic wear). That's the one I chose to wear for a longer meeting because I felt it fit my face better. It was hot.

the other two are made of woven cotton and I haven't tried them yet.

before I got any of these, I was using items I had on hand (scarfs) that didn't stay in place well

I think anything is good for a quick trip into a store, but sometimes I need something that I can tolerate for an hour or more

Thanks. Long wear is what I'm thinking of too. Right now it's just 1-2 hour trips to the store, post office, etc., and I do very well But when back to work, I think I'll need one I can wear much longer. I think the one I have will be fine. Just thinking of a backup.

I ordered on eBay fabric like Lilly P remnants and Vera B, napkins or remnants. I had elastic, thread and everything else. During my stay at home I made face masks to go with all our outfits. Also got Philly Eagle fabric, without leaving my house and made masks. So, I am ready too.

I ordered 2 on Flag Shirt Co on the recommendation of another poster, sorry I forgot the name of who it was. They have stars and stripes on them and are made in the usa of 100% cotton.

Cute is beneficial for my mental health and since the N95s are discouraged for private citizens; saved for front line workers I'm going to wear ones that please me.
