Wow!! I was just coming back here to post that these are the masks we recently purchased and my family likes them. Basic, simple and fits well.

Isn't that ironic?! I do like their masks -- my whole family does. They do have a bit of bait and switch with their selling techniques, but I like their product. Hopefully they'll be back eventually.

We really liked our first order of masks (black) from Thompson Tees, but our second order (gray) -- the masks were HUGE! Way too big for my tweens and doable for me but prone to slipping off my nose. However, DH is a bigger, bearded man and they seem like they'll work for him, so all's well that ends well. He'll probably have to mask when he goes back to work at the university in the fall, so he can have these.

Dress Barn has some cute masks online. I ended up ordering some from Mother Bee Maternity (but I haven't got them yet).

I have noticed that a lot of retail stores now have masks. Old Navy has ones that are really cute--I think 5 for $15!--but they don't have nose wire, and I've come to feel I need that for my glasses.

Bummer! I just ordered some of the gray ones!

I do love the black ones.

I ordered some photo prints from Snapfish yesterday, and I saw that they were selling masks! Even better, you can get them personalized with photos!

Yeah, the black ones are comfy. I wore the gray one out at Walmart for about an hour...it wasn't bad but it was definitely looser. If DH didn't need bigger masks, I'd try to shrink them in the wash or something.

Wait what? I thought Dress Barn went out of business...I had just discovered it (meaning finally going into the store after driving past it for years maybe even a decade) last summer and bought some nice pants that I really liked. Then the store closed in December...it never occurred to me that they still had an online presence...dah.

Athleta is selling masks. They have been on back order though but I think they are coming in this week. I haven’t ordered them yet.

I didn’t order from LA Apparel because the leopard print I wanted was sold out.

Yeah, I remember hearing that about Dress Barn. I think it was only certain locations? Idk -- there aren't any near me.

I've been liking my LA Apparel masks. I like them better than my homemade ones, somehow I don't feel as though I need to shout when I'm wearing them.

I like the way they have the elastic that goes over your head. Not a fan of the ones that go around the ears. Seems like the over and around your head style seem to fit better and stay on more easily.
