If I am wearing fabric mask, i would change it weekly. If I use those disposable mask, I will change it everyday.
Furthermore, our company is providing 10pcs of free masks every week. Hence, I don't have to spend money on it.
One thing I hate is when I put on BB cream, it stains the fabric mask! Had to change it then !

Mine stays in a bag and I'll wear it for as short a time as possible. I change it every couple of weeks but it doesn't get worn often. If I was having to wear it every day then I'd change it more often.

@peachpurple No, we have to wear a mask indoors. I just don't wear mine often because I don't go anywhere! And I'll take it off at the first opportunity.

@peachpurple Fabric masks do not protect enough those around you, only medical masks are certified to protect also the others.

I go out and be with people everyday especially at work so I wear them during those times. When the surgical masks were scarce and the prices go up, I used the fabric mask made by my niece. I used the other one when I washed the one I'm using previously and so on. Now that the price of surgical mask go back to it's regular price before the pandemic, I used it daily and then dispose after.

Yes, really annoying when the makeup stains the mask, no point of using makeup

Hardly able to breathe with fabric. Too thick but the filter purpose is stronger. Does it develop pimples ?

@peachpurple thankfully, not in my case. One of the reason I have to change twice too. I use filter from mask.a.raid. They're washable up to 15 times. Easier to breath in that filter.

I do not socialise much and even if I do I wash my mask as it is a washable cotton mask

I use the disposable one time only and I am wondering if I use the respirators twice or thrice?

That's good to know that they're providing free masks each week.

Not alk companies provide free mask. Only big companies practice this good habit, small business expect employees to buy their own mask

3x, a wear it as I travel going to work, and change it when I arrived at the office, and change it when I go home. There! Except if I have to go on fields during office hours I need to change my mask again.

I have the cloth ones so have a few to choose from to wear. After I am done for the day with my mask I will hand wash it and put it to dry.

@peachpurple Uh, I'm reluctant to wear a mask, but when I have to, as soon as I do what I did (shopping, post office, etc.) I throw it away, I'm sick of using it a few times
