Things have changed in 2020. For example, we didn't expect that face masks could be more precious than gold overnight; we couldn't travel even once in the past six months; and we still need masks, or even have to wear them for a long time.
Now we are wearing face masks every day, and we have run into some problems that never bothered before. Glasses fog is one of them. It blurs our eyes, not only making us feel troublesome but also irritating! What’s the most annoying is that we can’t stop our glasses fogging up at all even we have tried to press firmly down on the metal strip! So here comes today’s little gadget that keeps our glasses from fogging up while wearing a mask. Besides, its basic benefit is to seal your loose-fitting face mask to avoid the risk of exposure, so if you don’t wear glasses, it’s still quite useful.
A former Apple mechanical engineer co-founded Fix The Mask and designed Essential Mask Brace to help secure surgical masks and reduce that pesky glasses fog.
Unlike the N95, surgical masks and cloth masks do not seal tightly to the face, increasing risk of exposure. Layering an Essential Mask Brace over a surgical mask helps secure the mask to the face. It applies positive pressure to the face around the nose and mouth to ensure that there is no air leakage that can cause fog and exposure.
However, we can’t help wondering whether it’s comfortable to wear an additional brace. And Fix The Mask has the answer.
Essential Mask Brace comes with a nose pad. The bristles on it maximize comfort by allowing the brace to contour to the face with minimal pressure. “We've been wearing these for several hours a day, multiple days in a row, and we can assure you it's comfortable and secure.”
Essential Mask Brace offers size small, medium and large considering that not everyone has the same shaped nose.
A long time mask-wearing causes a sore ear. Trying not to make it worse, Essential Mask Brace has added extra grip to the head strap, so it won't slip. And the adjustable neck strap ensures a secure fit.
Essential Mask Brace is made from 100% FDA silicone, so it’s super skin-compatible. And this isn't a one-time use solution as well. After use, wash it with soap and water, pat it dry, and it's ready to go again.
Essential Mask Brace is currently finishing a crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter, and detailed information is still available such as price, shipping, and how to choose the right size.
If you don't want to pay extra money, how about making a simple mask brace yourself?
