How to choose a cloth face mask


As growing evidence shows that masks help curb the spread of the coronavirus and many states have made face coverings mandatory in public places, numerous companies stepping in to sell them. Among so many distinctive face masks in the market, especially the cloth face masks, do you know how to choose the right mask to protect you and your loved ones?

To decide if a cloth face mask is effective and good, you should keep 3 things in mind.

1. How many layers does it have? 

For disposable face masks, they normally have 3 to 5 layers, but single and double layers are more common for fabric face masks in the market. Some suppliers will also add an extra filter layer to enhance the protective effect. According to Richard Wenzel, M.D., infectious diseases epidemiologist and emeritus professor of internal medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, multiple layers of fabric are better than only one.

2. What fabric is the mask used? 

What fabric is great for a face mask? Normally, a thicker, denser fabric will do a better job than thinner,
more loosely woven ones. But as it needs to be applied directly to our skin and mouth, the softness is also very important. Besides, good fabric for masks should also be of great breathability, especially when the weather is getting hotter and hotter, you will feel muggy if the mask you wear is not breathable enough.

3. Can it fit well to your face? 

A huge problem with face masks is that it may not attach to your face well and would move around a lot when you wear it. If so, your nose and mouth may have a great probability to be exposed in the air, which means the effect of your mask will be greatly reduced, no matter how many layers, how good the fabrics are used. According to the CDC, a good face mask should fit snugly but comfortably against the sides of your face and should not interfere with breathing. A mask with 3D or pleats design would usually make a good fit for your face, and a proper size is also very important. If the mask is with stretchy and adjustable ear straps, that would be even better as you can adjust it to the perfect size by yourself.

Besides the 3 points, there is one more factor that you can consider. A face mask is not only a protective device under the current special situation, but it can also be an effective display tool for your business and events as you can print your logo or other brand info on it. Therefore, if you are looking for a cloth face masks to help boost your brand exposure, you need to consider if it can well display your logo.
