Each ear loop can have a precut opening to secure around an ear of a wearer. A tearable region with a perforated region and/or one or more notches adjacent to each ear loop allows a wearer to increase the size of the ear loops by tearing or cutting the ear loop material. A wearer can increase the size of each ear loop to accommodate the size of his/her head. Feedback from the mask allows a wearer to systematically increase the size of the ear loops until the mask is both comfortable and sufficiently tight for use. In an alternative design, the ear loops are composed of a chord with one or more fused regions. The fused regions can be cut or torn apart to increase the size of the ear loops.
