DI Accessories Cotton Face Mask<\/a>. This makes for a great all-around mask in my opinion.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20200510_173758-768x1024.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
All Day Use<\/h2>\n
I really tested it out!\u00a0 One day performing numerous shopping trips, cleaning my car, and having a phone conversation.\u00a0 At no time did I feel any real restriction as a result of wearing the mask.\u00a0 At one point, I had forgotten that I was wearing it.\u00a0 This is definitely a durable but gentle two-layer piece of fabric.\u00a0 The material is also gentle on the EARS, which has been a concern about many masks.<\/p>\n
Durability<\/h2>\n
These masks have been through the washing machine (gentle cycle) SEVERAL TIMES already.\u00a0 I have seen no signs of wear or degradation.<\/p>\n
Putting It To The Test<\/h2>\n
I put it through a serious test.\u00a0 A 2-mile jog!\u00a0 This 2-mile jog concluded with a sprint up a deep hill.\u00a0 It was not ideal and during the hill sprint, I felt the breathing constriction.\u00a0 But I was able to complete my workout.\u00a0 I am not necessarily suggesting wearing a mask while performing intense physical training in private.\u00a0 But I wanted to be able to share the full extent of what you are capable of while wearing a mask.<\/p>\n
Important Reminders<\/h2>\n
1.) The use of a fabric softener when drying is not recommended.\u00a0 I unknowingly tested that out and it was noticeably more difficult to breathe through.\u00a0 That was not a fun experience.
\nIf you have already done this, here is how you can remove the fabric softener from the masks.\u00a0 Rewash as you would normally until you reach the rinse cycle.\u00a0 Right before the rinse cycle begins and after the water fills back up, add at least a cap full of distilled white vinegar.<\/p>\n
2.) Also, If you look closely at the stitching of the mask there is a subtle difference between each side of the mask.\u00a0 Although I have a preference, I really do not think it matters which side you wear the mask.\u00a0 But I believe it is important you noticed this and make a mental note before putting it on.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If you have a larger face, the fit may not be bad, but not ideal either.\u00a0 There is not that small, medium, large, or custom option.<\/p>\n
