FACE MASK FAQ's
HOW DO I FIND MY RIGHT SIZE?
The dimensions for each size can be found on every listing details page. Click the learn more button to expand it for oodles of helpful information about the product.
How to take your own measurements:
Take a measure tape of a string and measure the length from the bridge of the nose vertically down to the chin and horizontally from cheek to cheek across the tip of your nose. The mask measurements are shown flat so see how long the string is and compare it to our measurements. Keep in mind that our dimensions are the maximum length vertically and horizontally. All of our mask expand and contract so being a little under is perfectly fine and actually ideal! If you are at the max, it's time to size up. Elastic ear loops are extra long to give most wearers enough wiggle room to adjust (with a knot) to fit your unique face perfectly.
ADULT size typically fits most unisex faces. The female model shown is wearing ADULT. LARGE ADULT size is best suited for larger features and/or facial hair. The male model is wearing LARGE ADULT. There is no standard industry sizing for masks, and like clothing, each shop will have their own sizing specs. Please use our measurements solely for our masks and vice versa.
*What is Non-Woven Spunbond Polypropylene?
In a nutshell, your filter inserts (each mask comes with 2) is thermally bonded to create a non-woven material that’s tear and puncture resistant, water resistant, non-irritating, fiber glass free with excellent breathability. When laminated with a PE film, the penetration of fluids and bacteria can be prevented, making the product especially useful within the medical industry. They are washable and reusable many times over. Read on for care tips.
