My 4 year old: "single use are good but Flomask is very very very good".

To hold up the upper string, I put a headband around her hair. She puts
on the mask herself. Postage to UK is 30$. I buy Envomask for me, as Flomask is for kids only. Disclosure: not paid by them.
"If..worn all day,..rule of thumb is to replace the filter daily. Fresh filters maintain good breathability & when not in use,..store the mask in the microfiber pouch as the filter is electrostatically charged & will continue to attract particulates in the air if left sitting out
The top strap...has...silicone strips on the backing to keep the strap from sliding down
...kids with long fine hair may result in the strap slipping over time. We recommend tying their hair..so the top strap rests...on the ponytail, or wearing a hat can also help

Important #CDC update yesterday improves guidance on mask quality & fit; now recommends #N95 respirators as one option for #BetterMasks. (1/x)

Updates like this don't just happen. People like @kprather88 & @linseymarr have been pushing behind scenes. 🙏

@projectn95 is a non-profit that provides a marketplace for vetted masks at low price:

3/ Any mask is better than no mask, but given the highly contagious Delta variant that now dominates, you should wear the best mask you can. See this great interview clip with @mtosterholm motivating the use of upgraded masks:
