Any thoughts on why the clear mask are only single use? This is listed in their FAQs.

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.
