I cannot sew, so I have been using hot glue to attach the tabs from bags of coffee on some of my masks that do not fit well. They work great for me.

The cat four pack, of course.
I’m going to try out the LAA ones. I originally hesitated because of the overhead factor but can we at them on weekends if it’s too annoying for work.

The Thompson ones are good

For those still looking, here's a mask thread at Slickdeals.

https://slickdeals.net/f/14052551-li...face-masks?v=1

We have four each, which I think should be enough considering we don't leave the house except for grocery shopping and maybe a beer run at a local brewery.

Thanks for the link. I ordered three white ones, and really like them. I've tried a couple of homemade ones from a friend, and one from Etsy. I like these the best, they are comfortable and fit well.

I got an email from them that they met their donation goal of donating masks to hospitals.

I ordered some masks from Los Angeles Apparel, and they're just fine. These are the first I've used with elastic.

I'm thinking I may try to copy the shape of their mask next time I feel like stitching some of my own.

Wearing these things in summer heat is a test of my determination, that's for sure.

I ordered these for me and DH:
https://aviatorusa.com/products/cotton-face-mask

They are soft and comfortable, but a little big for both of our faces (I put in a few stitches under the chin and in the straps to make fit better). Also, they don't have a nose piece, so my glasses are still fogging up.

Has anyone found a mask that prevents your glasses from fogging completely???

Well, I'm still using the disposable kind and if I pinch the wirey part at the bridge of my nose it does help to avoid fogging up my glasses.

I’m digging seeing everyone at work sporting their masks. They are becoming a fashion accessory or statement for some. I got one made with material featuring logos of my college alma mater and my home city baseball team.

I use a disposable and pinch the stiff part on the bridge of my nose and my glasses never fog.

I don't know if this works but I saw a quick video that showed putting a tissue into the mask to keep glasses from fogging. Seems worth trying.
