Best of those I've tried, but could be a little more durable
I bought a 4 pack of these in black. My son is in elementary school and has to wear a mask each school day, all day. His little ears were getting really painful. We tried other types of ear savers or extenders, but we really needed something that he could do on his own. This makes a big difference in comfort for him, and when he needs to take his mask off for a sip of water or lunch, he can easily keep it close at hand by loosening the strap in the back.<br /><br />It's lightweight, and the ribbon material is silky and feels nice to the touch. However, it is a bit difficult to keep the button you press to make the lanyard smaller or bigger anywhere near the center of the strings. It is very easy to have it end up all on one side or the other, and kids probably can't fix this themselves. Because the ribbon is so thin, it will sometimes bunch up in the slide/button and make it difficult to maneuver. We are using them 5 days a week, and so far, they've held up nicely.<br /><br />For me, it'd be a 5 star if the lanyard ribbon material felt a little more heavy duty, and if the slide mechanism was a little easier to keep in the correct spot and to move for smaller hands.
