Re: Masks and fogging eyeglasses

I bought adhesive nose strips from EBay (80 for $8). You peel off backing and adhere under nose area (outside of mask so you can see them). They last for several wearings but are very easy to replace. They are very effective for anti fogging.

As long as I put the mask on first, then put the glasses/sunglasses on over the mask, I don’t have any fogging. No need for a metal strip added at all.

I've used a tissue folded lengthwise and placed over the nose bridge and that works.

Also I've just pulled the mask up so that bottom frame of my glasses sit on top of the mask where you use the bending device.

I've seen the pipe cleaner method and I would think that could work even if the masks have no inserts. Tighter fit.

This (bolded by me) is what I do and it works well, at least with themasks that have the thing you can push over your nose.

I recently got another type of mask that was recommended here and they don't even have the nose thing. I need to stop reading recommendations here, I swear! I tried one on to see if I could fit it fairly well under my glasses and it didn't feel too bad, but I haven't actually taken it for a ride yet. If I go to the store this week I will try it and see if it's ok. Also, these masks are rather large and loose around the sides. I'm tired of buying masks that sukk.
That's what happened to me, recs for LA Apparel. Six worthless masks. Too small, no nose wire and look like they were taken from the pouch of tightie whities.

Yup! I saw the recommendation for the LA Apparel (since gone out of biz) ones and got those. They aren't too small for me, and mine actually do have the nose wire, but the over the head deal, instead of the over-the-ear elastics, makes them a big hassle. Plus the 'adjustable' was just that you can tie the elastics in a knot, so that was misleading.

Then, I saw a rec for some from Home Depot and that seemed to look decent so I ordered a set of those. They are HUGE! Like, really huge plus they are loose on the sides so they are somewhat open. Also, no thing to cinch over the nose. I think that is one thing they should ALL have. I think I could tie the elastics in knots but that was one of the things I was trying to get away from.

I'll just continue with what I have and get by for however long it needs to be. Fortunately, I only go to the store every 2-3 weeks.
