Well I certainly hope so! There's nowhere near enough material in thong panties!


Wait, well, huh, never mind!

Lol I needed a good laugh.

If you are just looking for elastic, you can use bungie cords. Get a bungie cord. Cut it open at the end. What you will find are multiple thin elastic cords that work perfect as holders or however you need them to secure the mask to the face. If this has already been posted my apologies.

Doc H. Thanks so much for your posts on this subject. Really invaluable info. Here’s a pic of another useful product that is in demand for our health professionals. Just in case your wife wasn’t busy enough! God bless you, your wife.

My wife as well (she's a pretty accomplished quilter). Hers have a pocket for a HEPA filter and are washable. I'm using over an N95, and she's sending a couple of dozen to our daughter and her nursing staff in another state. They're not replacements, but cover and protect the N95, and can be washed and reused (which the N95 cannot).

Fashionable, too....

My wife just made a mask for our almost 4 year old, for the elastic she used large hairbands bought at the dollar store.

Thank you tanner - bad couple of weeks ahead, but God willing will be on the back side of this thing by May/June...lots of positive research happening - hope to hear some good news on Ab testing this week. Still holding out for a Summer effect (my own opinion, for many reasons). You and yours stay safe and God bless....

I am wondering about which masks are best for surviving the autoclave's ?

My older brother sent me this one.

It's reversible!

So YOU'RE Michael Caine. As we suspected all along!

I was at HOME DEPOT over the weekend. I saw a lot of people who were not wearing masks. They were 'social distancing' and some wore gloves though.

#10 furnace filter claims to do 70% of virus's
China-20 is .15nm* wide. average virus is 2.5nm, so I bet the china is in the 30% unfiltered. Thus I wrap the #10 in a handkerchief or scarf and spray come un-balanced ph liquid on the mask. My doc is interested. He sent one in last week to ??? for evaluation.
Wife & I have been wearing them for 4 weeks now. And besides the medicals I carry daily, We have been fine. Careful & fine.
* the .15 & 2.5 are from memory, but there is a +10x size difference.
