What is the right face covering for you?

Are you still in search of the best face covering for your needs?

At present, it is still a requirement to wear a face covering on public transport and in other indoor setting such as shops, cinemas, libraries and theatres. We’ve been living with face coverings and masks since the pandemic began. It looks like they are here to stay so let’s run through all the options available to you within our range of face masks.

Medical Face Masks

Disposable and ideal for use in healthcare environments, medical face masks offer protection from airborne bacteria. They are comfortable to wear, and easily adjustable. Usually sold in bulk, they offer good value for money too.

Fabric

The more environmentally friendly choice, fabric or reusable face masks can be washed after each use and worn again. They need to be washed at 60 degrees Celsius to kill any germs or viruses. Keep a supply in a plastic bag in your handbag or desk drawer. It’s worth noting that fabric face coverings are not recognised as PPE, so not suitable for use in medical environments or as a dust mask.

Sponge with filter

A spongy, comfortable design, these face masks have a built in filter to protect from harmful dust and germs.

Respirator mask

Respirator masks are used on building sites and other manufacturing environments to filter out particles, air pollution, bacteria and pollen. Offering unrestricted breathing, they are soft and provide a comfortable, easy to wear mask.

Face shield

Face shields and visors are generally worn by those who have a medical impairment that means they are unable to wear face masks. They are suitable to be worn over spectacles, are anti condensation, and sweat resistant. The elastic headband also ensures that it can fit all head sizes.

Mask extenders

If you need help making your mask fit snugly across your face or you are experiencing ear pain, you may benefit from a mask extender. Clipped behind your head with the elastic of your mask, it allows for comfortable and protective wear. They are size adjustable to ensure comfort.
