    The $$ n95 masks that I coughed up for in small/medium size are still too big. My lower eyelashes shouldn’t be touching the mask. TIL my face is really small?

      I don’t know if that’s better or worse than your face being too big, but we had a really big worker at my last place during COVID times and even the extra large face masks barely fit. Like, they’d stay, but if he talked it would no longer stay and his chin would pull it down

        He wore the mask too loosely. The mask should sit flat in front of his ears and not move when your face moves. Adjust the elastic, with knots if need be.

      It’s not the size, it’s the design. Size is for ear to ear and nose to chin measurement, the design is for how it fits your face.

      How big the bridge of your nose is and how high your cheekbones all effect how a mask fits.

      If you can, wear the mask lower under you chin and pinch it harder on your nose to make it sit there.
