I've found that too. The first time I just ended up taking my glasses off and going without, but that's not an option for anyone who's severely short-sighted. I've pretty much given up wearing contact lenses, but might have to start again now...

the ones with a wire across the nose work better.

The mask needs to fit tightly across the top of your nose. Some have a metal strip that you can bend to the shape of your face. Some have a wire inside. The tighter the fit the less your glasses will steam up (and the harder it will be to breathe easily).

looking at that pic i wonder if i'm the only one that can't get on with around-the-ear masks? i hand sewed a prototype (out of the bags that my bedlinen came in that i've never known what to do with) and have to run the elastics around the back for it to stay on.

In South Korea, they sold N95 masks with long ear loops and a special clip which you used to fasten the loops at the back of your head.
Wearing masks around your ears gets painful after a couple of hours.

Wasing up liquid apparently, rubbed on the glasses and then wiped off.

Some of the crafty people are crocheting 'ear savers' which are just small bands with a button sewn at each end. Also can be made from fabric, 3D printed or cut on a Cricut machine. A friend of mine has made over a 1000 hairbands, also with 2 buttons sewn on them.

Haven’t seen many that go round the ears. The ones I have have two straps - one goes round the back of your head, one goes over the top

Yes, I was wearing one with a metal strip yesterday, and tried to get it snug around the nose but glasses still fogged up. A bit disabling, since I can't see at all without glasses. Washing up liquid sounds like a good tip.

A folded tissue under the top of the mask helps stop glasses fogging (I've tried it with goggles and sunglasses)

How To Wear Sickness Masks Without Fogging Up Your Glasses
If you wear glasses, like I sometimes do, you know that sickness masks fog them up right quick. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has tips on how to avoid that.

My friend has made me some masks and I also have some I bought all cotton and washable, some with alleged nano tech droplet resistance. I only where them in shops or indoor public spaces. However I'm definitely in the minority of people wearing them.
Judging by that photo the mask looks far too tight judging by your right ear.
The best way I’ve found to stop fogging (with my sunglasses) is to position glasses on top of the mask rather than behind - works perfectly every time.

tiny personal victory today, first trip out to the shop wearing a mask (given the nudging in scotland i figure it's only a matter of time before we get similar).
was massively resistant at the outset for purely personal reasons. so at least that's out of the way :/

I answered no, not because I'm against wearing a mask, but because I haven't been in a shop etc since the middle of March.

We are currently getting a hot spell. Temperatures are into the low 40s. I was pleasantly surprised to see most people are wearing masks in all the shops and in the street. Supermarkets and shops are restricting the number of people going in, and still insisting on hand sanitising, gloves and masks. Carrefour is still disinfecting all the trolleys after use. It helps with shopper (my) confidence.
It will be interesting when we go to the beach this week. Last time the compliance with mask/glove rules was very poor. These are also areas where they are struggling to keep infection rates low compared to my home town.

I've bought two lots of fabric facemasks, and discovered a slight problem - I think my face must be slightly bigger than average! Both types have the same problem - they're just not quite big enough to reliably sit on my nose and under my chin.
I need a mask that's about 2cm deeper, top to bottom...so about 15-16cm. Anyone know if there's someone out there selling "plus size" masks?

I knew it wouldn’t be long before someone started selling a mask that had an app.
Cool mask - maybe the visor is overkill?
