This cotton face mask is reusable and machine washable. It features 4 layers of pleated 100% cotton with a pocket at the top to insert any filter of your choice and the 1/4” elastic is shaped like an n95 mask so it’s comfortable or you may request a earloop version. All masks now have a sewn in adjustable metal nose bridge. Adjuster made from vintage button so each one is unique for each order. I have sanitized them in the wash as well before shipping out. But I advise all to wash again when you receive them.
How To Care For Your Handmade Mask(s):
CDC recommends cotton fabric masks to be washed in your regular laundry using hot water. After laundering your fabric masks, tumble dry them in the dryer on a high setting.
However, I find that cotton tends to shrink and I wash mine on delicate setting with warm water and lay flat to dry. If you do want to dry them in the dryer, please take out the elastic so it doesn’t get damaged from all the heat.
You might consider using a non-scented laundry detergent if you are sensitive to perfumes so it is easier to wear the masks.
You can also hand wash your mask, using hot, soapy water. Scrub the mask for at least 20 seconds, and dry them on high heat in the dryer.
Store clean masks in a clean place when you are not using them.

Luv the mask
Hello to anyone reading this review. At first the mask was too tight. I totally agree with everyone.
However I stretched it a little and wore it. The elastic stretched and now it’s totally comfortable.
The material is so soft and I like u can wash it in the washing machine.
I think the important thing is to figure out how to wear the mask comfortably.
I’m going to buy another one and try the elastic around the ear.
Thank you for your feedback! Please let me know what length of the earloop version you’d like when you do go to purchase. I have small ears, so the 6” earloop works for me comfortably. I’m happy to accommodate what works best for you.
Warm wishes,
Nikki Marie

I have a large head, which usually I dont brag about. But here is the thing. These masks fit me just right. Not too small, not too big. It covers my mouth, my nose and the elastic around the head is comfortable. And the material is soft, thick, but not stifling to wear. I stocked up, have a half dozen gaiters, a half dozen sewn ones with sewn tie straps, a couple of embarrassing ones I made myself (oiy... I dont know how they passed me in my home ec class way back when). and two of these. When I go out, I reach for these. They are my first choice. So thank you Nikki. Good job!
