Love it despite quirks!
Honestly, I'm really allergic to most cotton if taken out of a package (bad MCS) and I was not sensitive to this mask.  The fact that they use vegetable dyes is awesome to me.  Yes, half the pattern faded on half the mask the way I 'soaked it in a towel' the first day and second day w/o the little detergent I used.  (I had to do this b/c I was slightly sensitive to a smell where I think they line dried).  This was all I had to do to use it!...  I don't care about the pattern, I can use it, and I can't use most things due to the dye or the processing...  So, if you're sensitive to everything but cotton and generally have to wash other things a million times to not be sensitive to them, this is the mask for you as well!...<br />If I had just put between the towel for 30 minutes as suggested, I believe it would've taken a month ofr two for the color to begin to fade.  Yes, I'm sad, I can't see the pattern.  But, I'm happy b/c I can't wear those stinky rubber masks nor polyester/microfiber.  So, white mask, I'll just accept it, oh well, let people look at me funny anyways.
