Review (5/5): Makes it SO Easy
I had previously ordered the silicone strap extenders to connect the elastics on my masks, but they weren't as great as I initially thought.
I don't have ears. I also don't have fingers. I lost them as a result of the injuries I sustained in a fire 16 years ago, which makes many things more of a challenge to me. And while many masks have very narrow elastic bands, that isn't always the case, and they must be pretty narrow to go into the notches on the extender.
If I could put the mask on at home, connect the elastics, and leave the mask on throughout my time away from home, that would be one thing. But it's not as easy and convenient as one might believe. If I put it on & simply take it down below my chin while en route to take a drink or something similar, the elastics go slack, & come off of either side of my mask. It's 100°F heat index right now, and leaving my mouth and nose covered the entire time is just not an option. When I'm in a store & having to constantly pull the mask back up to where it belongs (because it can't ride above my ears like most people) is a REAL pain when you have no fingers. You end up touching your face one way or another, & we all know that's a big "no-no"!
THESE HEADBANDS are the answer to my prayers! I can wait until I reach my destination to put my mask on - and take it off again once I'm in my vehicle with ease! I can even do it over and over if I plan to make multiple stops while I'm out & about! I haven't been THIS pleased with anything else throughout this whole pandemic!
