Disposable mask or cloth mask - which one do you wear?
Disposable for me - sometimes it makes my nose itchy and the elastic band cuts into
my ear

Disposable give you 'better' protection than cloth washable ones

@jamesle2015 @Lostandalone Disposable here too. Looks less cute but it is about safety for me over fashion.

What a question for a germophobe like me! At the moment I'm using disposable, but I have some cloth masks on order. There's a delay with them arriving though, and I am quite liking the disposable masks.

@jamesle2015 I haven't got a preferance for either. I have both at home and use both.
I think the main thing is that you are wearing a mask so well done.
Hi @NatureLover @Bunniekins @Lostandalone good work for wearing masks too.

I'm using the disposable ones but they are making me feel like i can't breathe.
i sweat with it on while working
i tried a material one but it was far too hot with it on

I am using both but want to finish my cloth masks as I am upset by the high use and rubbish I have seen around. I see reusable as environmental rather than fashionable. I have big box of disposables for my son if he needs and will sew one for him if he wants.
Good Question.

@Appleblossom that's the problem with the disposables...people who litter
if everyone did the right thing and put them in a plastic supermarket bag or paper bag and put them in the bin then I reckon it would be ok
but then it would have an environmental impact but I'm no expert
I go through a mask a day as I use them for work and I use on weekend
I wish they were a bit more comfortable though

I have both. I made a cloth mask that has multiple layers that I made myself using a you tube video and the pattern from DHHS website.
I found my cloth mask which is layered about 3 times then folded in half so really it's 6 layers once I put it on. It's comfy as I made it for my face.
