Does anyone else like facemasks?

I always wear them, but dont like them. I do not wear earings as much now, as I seem to lose them.

I don't mind wearing facemasks but am I the only one who keeps getting spots on my chin from wearing them? I'm sporting a huge, red, painful pimple on my chin right now!

I've actually been told 4 times that I look good in a mask.
I'm not sure whether to be pleased or offended.

???

I rather went off them after I'd made about 35 of the darned things.

I've got them too.
On my chin, and around where the elastic goes. (Probably just as well to keep my face covered!)

MissA I feel so much more confident in a face mask and reactolite specs.

I hate wearing them but of course I do in shops but not out in the fresh air I think it’s more important to get the fresh air in your lungs

Do you, Callistemon?
You'll feel naked when it's safe to go without. (Whenever that may be)

MissA.....you’ve given me a couple of laughs ??

Oh I'm glad to do so.

No, I've had to start wearing a viser. I've really tried with the masks but they make me panic

I probably won't go as far as "like" but I definitely don't mind them. I like finding pretty ones, I've bought a fair few for charity, and my favourites are from a company in Huddersfield that switched from making suits to making masks as a way to keep the company going and people employed.

I only wear reading glasses, so I don't have steaming issues, except in the supermarket if I'm trying to read the contents on a a packet without picking it up.

We have to wear them outside here in Malta or face a big fine.
I actually don’t mind wearing a mask, it keeps your face warm now the weather is chilly and hides a multitude of sins.

My DD posted this photo whilst she was shopping in the US. I like it.

The only positive is my denture plate has started to rub so I can go to the shop without my front teeth and nobody notices
My glasses steam up so I take them off

I did find an upside the other day, it was rather cold when we went for a walk and I kept it on because it kept my nose warm, usually my extremities suffer in cold weather

Like everyone else they make me hot and bothered in shops, not that I stay in a shop longer than I have to. I've found myself hunting for more masks on line, I got some nice new ones through the post from GAP the other day, finding theirs the most comfortable.

Quite often these days there will be discarded masks lying in the street, maybe accidental if people pull them out of their pocket, but not a nice sight!

I love them, I don’t wear make up now when I go out, as it all ends up on the mask. People have stopped saying cheer up as they can’t see my sad mouth anymore ? . Also I feel much safer in the toilets at work, i hate public toilets anyway.

At least they cover up (some of) my wrinkles. And stop any of those annoying people saying, ‘Cheer up - it might never happen!’ (Not that that’s happened more than a couple of times.)

I find that the bog standard blue pleated ones are good for not steaming up my glasses, as long as I wear them the right way up, with the wire pinched to fit my nose. It was quite a while before I realised that there was a wire for the purpose!

That describes absolutely perfectly what I like about wearing a mask!

I should add that as we live rurally, and I haven't been near a shop since March, I have only needed to wear a mask on three occasions that I can think of.

The last time was when I went to the doctors for my flu jab. While queuing outside, I caught sight of my reflection in the window, and for once I didn't cringe at what I saw. It certainly did cross my mind that I would be very happy to wear a mask all the time in public!

But no doubt I would soon change my mind if I had to wear one for long periods of time. Three hours is the longest I have worn one, for a hospital visit back in the summer, and I do remember feeling that I had very bad breath by the end of that visit.

I've enjoyed reading your lively comments.

You have made me laugh Missadventure
I think the consensus is that they are not as bad as all that and there are a few compensations especially keeping warm.
Another one is if you find yourself approaching someone you would rather avoid, you can pretend not to recognise them.
I hope by the time we have warm weather we can discard our masks and 2020 will seem like a bad dream.

I have no problems with wearing mine. In fact I often forget I've still got one on!

Curlygran55 lets hope when we don't have to wear masks anymore, we can stop doing it!!

A friend who works on reception at our local GP surgery has told me it seems to be mainly older men who wear their masks beneath their nose.

When telling them off she says "You wouldn't wear your underpants with your willy hanging out over the top, would you?" Which I think is a good way of putting it!

I’ve recently started to have terrible nightmares in which I’m in a crowded place and not wearing a mask. Which is strange as I haven’t been in a crowded place for 10 months and have no plans to do so in the immediate future. Not a mask but I wear a scarf round my neck that I’ve started to pull over my face: not to protect myself but to keep warm, and I now feel really cold if I don’t wear it. I think that, like wearing a scarf or polo neck at the start of winter which results in feeling cold if you don’t wear it I’ll have to continue to wear face coverings.

No .... 8 hours will be longest shift this week wearing one. Also behind a screen with a sliding door at the back of us, so that we are not near the next customer on the next checkout. We are sort of in a little box, I call it my Den

I find I'm used to them now, and they certainly keep your nose warm on a cold day (until your nose starts running, that is).
