I want to thank the person that suggested celebrityonair for face masks.  I just received mine in less than a week and they are awesome.  They are made by the Carol Wior swimsuit company so they aren't cotton, but they are awesome and cute!!

I just made my own following the instructions of the Surgeon General on the cdc.gov website.  Used a Chicago Bears bandana and it works quite well.  Can't wait to wear it--LOL!!!

@Nadine O -

Are they breathable?

Also are they made of swimsuit material? They are cute but I think that would be hot if they are the same material.

What did you think?

I received mine yesterday.  They are polyester and very light and breathable.  They probably need a liner.  I do like them for the fit.

Today I received the ones I ordered from headcovers dot com.  I like these better.  They are also light but they are a double layer.  Made of bamboo viscose and the second layer is treated with a water resistant finish which minimizes droplets penetrating the mask.  There is a template included for cutting a filter that inserts into the inner pocket of the mask.

Hmmmm, I don't recall seeing "cute" on the CDC specifications.

Thank you for mentioning the headcovers site. The place I ordered from at the beginning of the month canceled on me so I have been looking for a new one to order. I just placed an order and it sounds like they will be able to fill it.

But why not get "cute" masks if they fit the other specifications and we need to wear them?Smiley Happy

I agree with @RealtyGal2 -- since our masks are very prominent and probably the first thing people see on us, why not be "cute" and (dare I say it?) "fashionable."

Q is offering V37380 for $1.00 each plus shipping.

I put them in my cart then deleted.

I think these paper masks should be about 35c each.

Not going to panic buy this offering
