What a great idea! I still have an account there, and will have to check it out.

I would like to purchase some masks with filter pockets, and of course some xtra filters as well. Any recommendations? There are so many sites that pop up when I do a search, and they can be pretty expensive! It's overwhelming...

adrien, I bought the lug beaker mask 3-pk. and they are really nice. I got mine through QVC, but I’m not sure they’re still available there - they are available at luglife.com. They have the filter pockets and conform to the face really well. They have elastic ear straps that are also adjustable.

Thank you for the recommendation! They still have these on QVC, but a larger assortment of styles on their website.

It worked okay but didn't stay up well, and my glasses definitely fogged with it. Also, it was too hot for summer.

I think adawn is right in that everyone's face is different; I'll probably have to keep playing around to figure out what works best. Thanks for all the feedback.

On Esty if you search for "nose wire with sticky back" you can find packages of them that are quite cheap. Not certain if I can post an Etsy link here.

I ordered some that stuck on the outside of the masks I use the most. They have survived a couple of hand washings and work well for the fogging.

Read this article today. Have found the activated charcoal 2.5 filters, again on Etsy. From the article the brand could make a difference though. They do make the mask hotter.

loulou I was thinking about buying the wires separately to stick-on. Does anyone know how well the sticky part holds up through the wash? (I have been machine washing my masks using a lingerie bag.)

Today I got masks I ordered from Fanatics- they have a terrible chemical smell that I hope comes out in the wash. They are also too big, so I’m going to have to adjust the ear straps.

I also got masks today that I had ordered from Cuddl Clones. These are perfect! Love the soft material, adjustable ear straps and my puppy’s photo on the masks.

I'm still receiving emails from Los Angeles Apparel selling things.

Here's something about cutting down on foggy glasses.
