'Somewhere along the line' they (could have been Dr. Oz, but I'm not completely sure) recommended placing a small piece of a paper towel inside the mask pocket.
I usually place two pieces in-between layers. Easy to breathe, too.
For some reason it's easy to breath through paper towels. At least the ones (brands) I use.
'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
