We all started out with a throwaway mask or a thick mask our parents gave us, but now that we have been in them for 7 months… It might be time to get one we actually want to wear every day. I am updating this post regularly to give you the most honest long term reviews possible.
Here are all of the masks we have ordered, worn, and washed.
The Nxt Stop
(Adult + Children)
This mask I went down the rabbit hole searching for, and I am SO glad I did. The Nxt Stop mask is made of bamboo fabric. It is the most heat-friendly and “breathable” option for me. Bamboo fabric is moisture-wicking, so I never feel sweaty or prone to mask-ne in it. If you are claustrophobic try this one!
The Nxt Stop added a filter pocket to their new version of the mask. I love a company that can adjust to make sure they are getting every detail right. The filter slot ones are just as awesome.
Kudos to The Nxt Stop for masking such a comfortable and universal mask. It also very washer and dryer friendly. We have one in black and one in navy and wash them all the time. Jeff and I can both wear it comfortably.
I have put in a formal (ok DM on Instagram) request for their pink option to not have white trim – because foundation.
Lele Sadoughi
(Adult + Children)
These Lele Sadoughi masks came into my DMs hand downs the absolute most. They are on a pre-order/back order regularly. I ordered a set for myself as well as a set for the girls. We definitely use these the most. The Lele Sadoughi masks are lightweight, soft, and adjustable. They win for fashion purposes; regularly grabbing compliments.
I don’t know how tiny the women in the photo’s face is but it doesn’t fit like that on me. On me, it doesn’t cover much under my chin. The kids’ ones fit amazingly and are so cute!
The cotton ones that we have will shrink in the wash a bit so use a delicates bag and lay them flat to dry. They have recently released a performance fabric as well. Honestly, I have been using my adult ones for the girls.
Under Armour
(Adult)
Jeff picked out this mask for himself and ended up ordering two more and one for me. He has to wear a mask every day for his job in close proximity to others. Of all of the masks, this is the thickest one. It’s very soft and comfortable to breathe it. We have not worked out in them.
Nordstrom/Capelli New York
(Kids)
These keep changing fabric patterns. The girls LOVE these. 2-3 packs are on Nordstrom for $12 and a great deal. Easy to adjust and wash. These masks are durable for daily washing. As for sizing, they fit both my 4 and 2 yr old, but I have even worn them in a pinch. They are bigger than the Lele Sadoughi adult masks to be honest. They currently have Halloween glow in the dark options!
Amazon Sequin Masks
(Kids)
I bought these for Santa photos and they were a hit with the girls. Because they are sparkly, I have no trouble getting the girls to put them on. I loved that they came in a 4 pack. They have a filter slot in them, but I haven’t utilized it. The ear loops are adjustable so they can fit little faces.
