OK, but doesn't solve my nose breathing problem
Since the pandemic started, I’ve been trying all kinds of masks, mask extenders, face shields, you name it.  One problem I have with a lot of masks is that they press down on the tip of my nose and reduce the amount of air going through my small nostrils, one of which already has problems because of a deviated septum.  I’ve turned away from the classic folded mask because of this issue, but I also have it with several different kinds of cloth masks.  When I saw this bracket, I wondered if it might be the solution to my problem.<br /><br />When I received these brackets, I held one in place while I put on a cloth mask.  This is a task that would go better if I had three hands, but I managed.  Once the cloth mask was secured, it held the bracket in place.  The bracket keeps the mask away from my lips, which would be great if I wore lipstick.  It provides some space, which made the mask feel a little less claustrophobic, but it didn’t do anything to stop the mask from pressing on the tip of my nose.  So, while this bracket does what it’s intended to do, it’s not very useful to me.<br /><br />If you are looking for a mask that doesn’t press on your nose and doesn’t touch your lips, I recommend you get some KN95 masks.  Their design really works well at sealing at all the edges, but leaving space around your nose and mouth.  The KN95s are a lot easier to find these days, too.
