Silicone Mask Bracket Inner Support Frame for Homemade Cloth Mask Cool Mask Hack More Space for Comfortable Breathing Washable Reusable, 3pcs Clear

This bracket is a soft silicone material which does not leave an imprint or mark on your face even after wearing for hours and is best paired with fitted masks which can hold and secure the bracket in place. When paired with the light blue roomier disposable/surgical mask which is a bit flimsy, the bracket needed constant readjusting as the bracket would slip under my nose and the bottom would peak out from the bottom of my mask. It also puckers out the mask so that the sides of your mask cannot lay flat against your face. Since I mostly have and wear the standard disposable masks this bracket isn't exactly ideal for me though I'm assuming this issue isn't unique to this brand/style. Double sided tape is recommended by the vendor to secure the mask. It would be great if vendors included some type of reusable adhesive as it's needed to essentially be able to use the bracket effectively with the commonly used disposable masks.Note:1. I did not experience more perspiration/moisture with the use of the bracket but I'm comparing it to the amount of moisture from breathing and/or my saliva from speaking and sucking on my mask without the bracket.2. These are adult size but only come in one size. If the light blue disposable masks fit tightly on your face I would not recommend the use of this bracket or any bracket as you'll likely find all brackets to be too small.In summary, 5 stars when paired with a fitted mask as it's comfortable and effective and 3 stars when paired with a disposable surgical type mask as it doesn't stay put for me.**UPDATE: Reached out to the vendor and received a response within the hour. Excellent customer service!

First of all, I bought this out of curiosity. I saw similar items advertised on Facebook and other places. I was hoping my masks would be a little more comfy and maybe my glasses wouldn't fog as much.At the time of this review, I haven't worn my glasses with these brackets so I can't speak to the claim they reduce fog.My first impression of these particular mask supports were clumsy. I couldn't quite figure out how to make them stay on my nose/face while I put the mask on. If I laid it in the mask, it seemed like it shifted sideways as I put on the mask. It just felt clumsy. I know I've seen an advertisement showing little clips or grooves to help the brace hold on to the mask. This is likely needed.I also noticed the silicone felt smooth on my skin. I bought silicone because I was concerned about the sharpness of plastic/resin and possibly cutting my face. These were smooth and pose no risk of scratching or cutting me.The biggest negative I've found so far is the smell! My goodness it's strong. Especially because it's up against your nose with no airflow. I'm normally sensitive to strong odors like perfume or bleach. But this was not like either of those smells. This was just a strong awful odor that I can't really describe. I'm hoping they will air out over the next couple days. Otherwise, I don't know if I'll be able to tolerate wearing them.Overall, I'm still hopeful these will work out after I get my technique down (and the odor gone).

I just received these and haven't used them fully yet... but a couple of things. These happen to fit my face perfectly. I read another review that complained it created "gaps" under their eyes - I think it must have been the particular mask they were using and/or the silicone frame wasn't fitting properly. We are all different, I think I lucked out. I haven't decided if I will use double sided tape or tack them into my masks for "busy" use - but when I am sitting here just testing them out with my various masks and now the double masking process - the frame sits solidly in my mask and while I am not talking, it seems to be staying in place without any tape or tacking. It may be different if you're talking a lot or moving your head a lot. I also read a review that said the frame was too heavy and they couldn't keep their mask on... that is an ear adjustment issue I think. I have not had that issue. I plan to wash them on the top rack of my dishwasher as others have noted they have done this without any problems. Having said all of that, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All in all, these really help me to feel less claustrophobic in my mask by keep the mask away from my mouth while breathing. Look, ultimately the whole reason to mask/double mask is to protect yourself and others from the virus. You gotta wear your masks properly. If these don't fit your face, definitely don't use them. I personally think because they are reusable they are worth the expense and effort to see if they will work for you. If you don't mind your mask touching your mouth, you probably don't need them. We've got to wear them to reduce the variants and bring the pandemic to an end! Here's to working together to get this done!

So it definitely holds the front of my mask out away from my mouth as seen in the first picture, however it does not sit where (I thought) it was designed to sit (on the nose). The moment I started talking it slid off my nose and onto my upper lip. When it’s on the nose it does not keep a seal preventing fogging of the glasses as described. When it fell off the nose it actually allowed my mask’s nose piece to do what it’s supposed to and keep the fogging down. So functionally, it does work if worn on the lip instead of the noseHowever, I can not use these as the silicone is unbelievably hot. It’s way hotter than just the mask by itself. The frame work also blocks airflow forcing me to have to breathe much deeper to get a breath in.I’m going to try making a new mask with this on the inside between the layers of fabric to see if that can salvage them. If that’s still too difficult I will stick to using a piece of wire down the center of the mask from nose to chin to hold the fabric out away from my mouth.

I like these. I use the in my mask everyday at work. I work in healthcare so these come in handy for me to be able to breathe with my mask on. I recommend these
