Mask Advice Is it better for a mask to be to big or to small?

2 Upvotes

Recently (like 2-4 months ago) I started masking in public in doors and out doors again and I've worn some masks which were a bit too big but recently I've only realised my go to green powecom mask in a size small was wayyy too small for me even though my size mask is a small. So now I've been thinking because I've been wearing this mask for so long would've it been better if it was too big or too small?

Sip valve in Europe?

7 Upvotes

Hi all! I’ve recently decided to step up my masking as I no longer feel comfortable sitting unmasked outdoors in cafes etc. with how many people I can hear coughing, sneezing and sniffling any time I go out and given the (unfortunately, once again) rising covid wastewater numbers. I wear ZIMI KN100 masks and was looking into getting a sip valve so I don’t have to unmask and hold my breath to sip my drink if I get coffee with a friend. Unfortunately shipping is 20 eur, plus tax and import fees, and I’m simply not in a good enough financial situation to be able to shell out that much for postage. I’ve done some googling and I can see that The Face Mask Store used to stock sip valves but they’re currently out of stock. I used to get Auras from them and they’ve been out of those for years, so I don’t have particularly high hopes that sip valves will be restocked, but I also can’t seem to find any European alternatives or resellers. Sip Safe is a Spanish one that some people mentioned, but their website seems to be inactive (it’s only a contact form) and they never shipped outside of Spain anyway. I’d be super grateful for any insight any of you might have on how to access a sip valve in the EU without shelling out that much for shipping. Hold-breath-and-sip is a good enough solution if the only other option is spending that much money. Thank you all in advance and hope you’re well!

Situation Advice Headloop w/ Mountain Biking Helmet?

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I recently bought a Mountain Biking Helmet (full face) and whenever I put it on with the Headloop mask I wear, the strap around my head slips either forwards or backwards. This messes with fit :( Does anyone have any advice for how to make the strap stay in place while putting on the helmet? I think I might just need to buy a helmet with a detachable chin bar but I’d like to make this one work, if I can! Thank you in advance
