Hi Tammy,

As these are meant as a substitute for cloth face covers (and not PPE) we tried these for a hearing-impared team lead:

but they eventually formed a vacuum and sucked into the wearer's face.

We then tried these:

The team loved them. I'm not sure if they are disinfecting them or disposing. If you are interested, I can follow up with the team.

Regards,
Nicole

I would be most skeptical of #3, despite the claim of "FDA approval". It looks like it has almost NO filtering material at all.

What does everyone think about the use clear window masks for teaching? We want to be safe and increase effective communication.
