So my grocery store has a lot of disposable masks, so I've been using those, but I don't think they fit properly and they're not that great for the environment.

I tried searching for some re-usable masks on Amazon but I couldn't find any. I saw a few black ones but the reviews say they're over-sized and don't fit well.

Work gave me two reusable ones, i've been cleaning them and reusing them. It works out since i don't leave the house that often anyway.

I just use the same reusable cloth one. I don't even change the filters. I just take it off in the car and disinfect everything else I've touched.

It's usually 5 days in-between outings

if you just want fabric masks just buy bandanas, or look up the myriad ways to make your own masks.

also Chinese kn95s are pretty easy to order online from various places (this is what I do and they are much better than the super basic ones).

My favorite bag company, Tom Bihn, Is making masks. They are donating a mask to charity for each mask purchased.

The ones I use at work, I get from work because they do the job and are free.

Outside of work if I'm out doing something I need to do, I have a couple reusables. One from a clothing retailer that I like, and another from a cycling gear shop.

Work. They gave us some reusable ones. Plus they have a ton of PPE (N95s, face shields, gowns, and gloves).

I bought a 50 pack from amazon but then I got reusable ones with stuff related to SF Giants and 49ers off etsy. I mostly use the reusable ones but keep a few of the ones I got off amazon in my car in case I forget.

Also if you have facebook there is alot of the local market craft people that probably selling masks too.

My Mom bought a bunch of 'em at the beginning of the pandemic and has given me several.

A friend of hers even made a reusable one for me.

I got a set of reusable ones on eBay months ago but they didn't fit well and didn't want to stay on my nose, or if I kept them high enough to stay on my nose they kept wanting to ride up toward my eyes. Not a good option. So I ordered a few of these a couple weeks ago. https://www.amazon.com/Bandana-Gait...ywords=face+masks+neck&qid=1593386651&sr=8-10 They aren't N95s or anything, but they stay in place and I find them fairly comfortable. They're a bit snug but you get used to it and I have no problems breathing in them.

At any of the local drugstores or supermarkets. They've been constantly in stock for the last month or so.

Just so many options to choose from

My neighbor had a cool pattern so I asked her where she got it. She said her friend makes them so I found her shop and ordered some. There are probably far more smaller sellers that are selling masks than you realize.

My mother is a quilter and has literally 800 pounds of fabric. She also a doctor so when this whole thing started she went all Iron Man 3 and started designing mask after mask with every generation improving the design. The Mk VIII is a custom fit with metal pince-nez that allows it to hold flush to the face, elastic ear straps for easy removal, and a fold out pocket for a surgical grade mask to be inserted inside for extra protection.
