@KCDiva :  I saw a chart a couple of days ago that showed that bandanas and gaiters only protect others  within 1 foot ( other options usually protect our at least 4 ft).

We like our masks from LA Apparel.  Soft, terrycloth inside and go over the head so you can easily take up and down without touching the mask.  No filter inside, but one can easily be placed there and will stay even with taking mask on and off if you press it in.

Thank you. That's what I feared.

The ones I like most are from Etsy. There's a nose wire and filter pocket, they're  handmade here, 100% cotton, and have a continuous long tie that's threaded through either side of the mask so that it's looped around your neck but then tied in back of your head. The design is practical. They're not cheap, they're $10 each including shipping, but they're great. I think we're going to be wearing these for quite some time, so I wanted to enjoy them and have a few.

I don't remember the brand name, but I bought some very comfortable masks from Amazon, about $21.00 for a set of 4.  They are 100% cotton and machine washable.  I just lay flat to dry.  They only came in black, and the elastic is covered in the same material which makes them more comfortable around the ears.

 

I would not be able to breathe in the polyester masks, like Lug sells.  They sure have some cute designs, but no way would I find polyester material breatheable and I would find them hot and sweaty.
