Life is a horizontal fall.
I've purchased a few from Etsy. Have quite a good choice. Do take a few days to come though. And I've purchased from a shop on facebook called Raggy Hounds. They came really fast.

They were selling packs of masks in the co-op yesterday. Five disposable single use per pack. Got myself a week’s supply. Going to see if work will let me claim mask costs back as an expense given it’s mandatory from Monday and I travel on public transport daily. I have been wearing a fabric mask but it is way too big for my face so has felt pointless and like I’m letting everything in / out through the massive gaps. I’ve dispensed with gloves and just sanitise regularly instead.

Scuse my ignorance here, but what counts as a 'single use'? One per day? One per bus journey?
The binge ones are great. Ordered a few. Once again, scuse my ignorance and I can't be arsed googling this but how often do I need to wash them?

I am interpreting it as one per journey. Which I would love to be proved wrong as it’s going to cost a fortune buying ten masks a week (more if more opens up and we start doing stuff). But each journey is a single use, surely.
You can 'air' them for a couple of days and should be fine. Should be machine washable too (Binge that is).
How often depends how and when you use to some degree.
Have just been on a train and in a hospital so wore a few masks along the journey. Threw them all in the wash plus all my clothes (and had a shower) when I got in. Maybe overkill but hardly a big effort on my part is it.
Make sure you are taking them on and off correctly and they are less likely to be any risk. As said before the masks are more to protect others from you than you from them. Annoying when others don't care or can't be bothered but it is a small sacrifice given the circumstances.
Those Binge ones are well expensive!
I've got several handmade ones coming in the post. Some are Mexican day of the dead, one says 'I am a LERT', and the other has a skull and crossbones where the mouth is.
I tried wearing the single use ones, but they are fucking horrible. My nose runs permanently under them, when I tie them I inevitably trap my eye bags (really attractive), and they're hot.

I know I seem to have a habit of derailing otherwise serious threads on here but is anyone else enjoying checking out peoples' eyes in a flirtatious manner. I'm sick I think. But I'm finding the facemask thing kind of hot.
Your trapped eye bag thing might be a showstopper mind you.

You can tell quite easily - if you can post on it, it's probably the wrong thread

Are you trying to be facetious?
How endearing of you
Yeah - one of our delivery drivers (female) was sporting a fancy cloth patterned mask today but it looked a very poor fitting. She did say that she bought it as a 2 pk for £5 from Asda so I guess you get what you pay for.
My black cloth masks cost £14 for 2 but are a very good fit plus I look like a fighter off Mortal Kombat

I was trying to be unpleasant. If it came across as "facetious", I clearly fucked it up.Are you trying to be facetious?

I've bought some of them. I'm not getting on with them very well so far. They tend to slip, I find, and the first time I wore one I found I was touching my face more than I normally would because of having to adjust the damn thing all the time, but doubtless I'll get used to them.
I'm not wearing a mask just to go out for a walk, but am now wearing them for shopping and will obviously do so when I have to start using public transport again, even though round here it looks as if the bus companies aren't even trying to enforce the rules.

This is a really sad question, but anyone got advice on how to stop fogging on glasses? Apart, obviously, from getting masks that are a better fit - easier said than done.

No but it's a real problem isn't it? That's not even a question. Yes, it's a pain in the arse. Well, eyes.
