Face masks

[gentlegreen]

How?

I do sometimes. Depends which shop I'm going to.

Just handfuls of water up the nostrils- the thing they advise you don't do because of brain-eating amoebas ...

I always do that when I'm within a week of having any kind of lurgy.

 

[platinumsage]

No because I'm not going out at times or places where other people are about.

 

[maomao]

If I'm going to a local shop I wear it for the whole trip. When I had to walk five miles to Screwfix and back I just put it on at the last minute. I would wear it in busy public areas outside but there currently aren't any. At least not near me.

 

[dessiato]

I always do but I'm not in he UK

 

[quimcunx]

Generally, no. A few people are but not many, in my area (S. London) at least.

50/50 here I would say. On main roads near shops anyway. Not so much on residential streets.

 

[Orang Utan]

Yes, though my glasses steam up if I stop moving

 

[xenon]

At present, no. Haven't got one. Not using a scarf. Not spending any significant time in doors with anyone. Not using the busses and only going into small shops once, / twice a week. I spose you should put one on as well if you're receiving deliveries.

 

[cyril_smear]

I had one of the basic ones and tried wearing it once but being a big fat 25 year heavy smoker I had to take it off as couldn't breathe.

 

[wayward bob]

if they make them mandatory in shops/enclosed areas i'll wear one. but as it is i only go out for exercise and i'd sweat my tits off, so no, not currently.

I thought the advice was that they don't actually protect you but may protect you from infecting others?

 

[kalidarkone]

Yes when going shopping. To protect others.

For the non FP3 or whatever they're called, type yes. If you're in close quarters to someone infected, the FP3 type along with gown, gloves etc can help protect you as well.

 

[nogojones]

I do sometimes. Depends which shop I'm going to.

Which shops do you wear them in? Just the ones you're banned from?

 

[Chilli.s]

Where does one purchase such an accessory? I've not been out for weeks and am out of touch with the latest trends.

i keep 2m away from other people when i'm exercising. those who choose not to keep to it from me deserve all the germs

I got mine from overseas, but there’s loads online

 

[weepiper]

I put one on before going into shops then usually keep it on until I get home.

This.

 

[Superdupastupor]

Teaching with mask to students about 3m distantance, also with masks. In the corridor of an abandoded faculty.

kinda weird kinda works.

The middle syllables of vowel sounds seem much more aff

 

[MrSki]

I wear one when in the queue for Sainsbury's but take it off as soon as I am away from other peeps.

 

[Boudicca]

Very rarely. Which is a little ironic as I have made at least 70 of the damn things.

I try to shop at large supermarkets when they are the least busy and a mask isn't necessary. I do wear one in Lidl and in the loose food shop (they require it), but not on the 10 minute walk to the shopsv - I put it on when I get there.

I got mine at my local costcutter. You can buy them online or you can make one yourself. Or sweet talk Boudicca

 

[Mation]

Why would I have been banned from any shops? I think you must be confusing me with someone you've imagined or someone (else) you've seen.

 

[Ax^]

nope


forced to wear one at work because someone who spent 6 weeks off want them on their return

not i spend all fucking day touching my face moving the fucking thing about

 

[cyril_smear]

Here, I tell you what I've noticed is that all the security men are now at the super stores and all the express stores are sans security... I haven't paid for a bottle of Chainte in weeks.

Just got myself some pipe cleaners and elastic. Now I need to go through my big crate of fabric bits and see what kind of bling I want on my face

 

[Sasaferrato]

Not going anywhere to need one.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

A fair number of people are doing the bandana-round-the-face thing around here but most aren't. I'm not.

 

[miss direct]

I’m not in the uk but I wear a mask in any crowded area or when going into a shop or on public transport. That’s the law here though.

 

[Mation]

Yes, though my glasses steam up if I stop moving

This was a problem with the first masks I got, to the point where I wouldn't wear them because I couldn't see anything. But they didn't have nose wire.

Nose wire is good. You can get the mask all snug, so no/less steaming up.

Do you know where I can get some from? They need to be pretty - can't be doing with white or black ones
