Works great as the first mask
This is my very first sleep mask, and I was choosing it carefully. I needed it to be light and breathable and adjustable, so I wouldn't feel something pressing my face or pinching my hair, making it even harder to fall asleep than it already is. I also looked for something pretty cheap because it was just an experiment, I wasn't sure that a mask would really help.<br />Well, the description is true. This mask is very soft and breathable. All the materials are synthetic but really nice to the touch. I think the same fibers are used in lingerie. It takes a minute to adjust the mask so it doesn't press but doesn't fall off. The soft side of velcro strap is about 5 inches long, so you can adjust it for every head size and desired pressure. Once you chose your size, you may keep the velcro closed forever and put on or remove the mask like a headband. The velcro holds fast, it even held through laundering in a washing mashine. The harsh side of the velcro has extremely small hooks, so it doesn't pinch or tangle your hair.<br />It doesn't block 100% of the light because of the fit, you still can see a little around your nose. For me it's actually a plus because when I wake up I feel disoriented for a while, and I was worried I would panic if I wake up feeling blind. Seeing this little light helps me to realise I'm wearing a mask, and the mask still provides enough darkness to help me sleep even with open curtains when the sun is up.<br />What I don't like is there wasn't any washing instructions on the package.
