I got a new one from a lady at work today. It has stethoscopes and blood pressure cuffs on it. Good for a nurse.
 
I have about 30 of them, from work. :cool:
All sorts of colors and prints.

Today was just a solid blue.
 
My favorite has orchids, pinks and purples. Unfortunately, it's tight af.

got some home-made ones and the surgical disposables, then H bought some hanes triple-layer cotton types.

the surgical masks are the most effective of the 3, with the n95s the best but we're not using those. started off with home-made double-layer cotton ones made from bandanas, and simply using bandanas tied around our faces but have upgraded as information improved

the neck gaiter types are causing concerns as they're apparently able to split the droplets into smaller sizes and so release a greater viral load into the environment if someone is carrying the virus

bandanas and knitted face masks were very ineffective

I have N95's and double cloth and surgical. Personally for all round comfort I like the surgical the best. The 95's I don't wear since I am not in areas of high concern for exposure.

All 100% true, but it's like discussing which sort of colander makes the best soup bowl.
 
Per CDC guidelines I have to wear a disposable mask at work.

My cloth assortment has grey, black and navy.

Fun masks are a Vikings mask, a Bison mask, a Dexter blood splatter mask.

I'm want an alien face hugger mask, a Joker smile mask, and a walker mouth mask.
 
Some sort of cloth thing.

I keep it in my pocket in case someone demands I wear it
upon their premises; that is, after all, their right,
but honestly, in this corner of the world,
most people consider the masks
to be nonsense. The only
people wearing them
are employees...

And, again, it is the right of the employer to demand that
of its employees, but for the most part, they don't
want to antagonize their customers.
 
I have a triple layer thing made out of a Greek flag. Which tend to confuse people, since I'm very much a non Greek, pale, fat ginger. My better half is greek though and her mom made it for me. So I pretty much obliged to use it. I don't make the rules.

Plus a box of displosable surgicals I got via my dentist.
 
I started with a couple painters' dust masks until the metal nose clips fell off, the straps broke, and became dirty around the nose. I made a few masks with rags and string. They don't fit tightly on the face, but they are enough to enter buildings where masks are required.

Face hugger would be absolutely brilliant. I think I'd keep wearing that after covid has gone.
 
None, but not because of some misplaced idealism.

I just avoid people anymore!

I do have a face shield that’s a clown mouth smoking a cigar.
 
Disposable paper w/ nose clip. Fits better and has a lower temptation to keep wearing the dirty mask everyday because it has the Cincinnati Mud Hens logo on it.
