Review (2/5): Nifty idea but I'd worry about it holding mask in place
What's that saying about necessity being the mother of invention? Well here we are in a pandemic wearing face masks. Someone came up with the idea of a head band with buttons to hold the mask mask in place.
This is a thin material. Think very thin t shirt type material. The headband measures about 18 inches and just over 3 inches wide. I like the material for a headband. However, its use as a mask holder is iffy. Many people complain that the elastic that holds the masks in place makes their ears pop out. That is definitely true of some masks. They can also be wearying on the ears, having that elastic against your ears all day, so this headband is a great concept.
I put the headband on and as I stretched it over my head, I heard a pop, so some stitching gave somewhere.
I attached two types of masks, one at a time. First, it was a bit fiddly to get the elastic over the button. Once it just sprang off.
One mask using the buttons fit well. Another did not. The latter mask opened up on the sides.
I would hesitate to wear this out thinking that everything would stay put for hours. I like the headband as a headband. It's nice material. A sort of light grey merle, but if you are looking at this for long-term safety, I would say no.
