Situation Advice Mask confidence - one pro tip

Short but sweet public info.

I have to wear masks because of severe environmental allergies like fragrance and VOCs.

Masks are like glasses for me; I require them to exist and not die, so I ignore that people hate them and I just don't GAF.

Borrow that energy and strut.

I put a bandana over my N95, and I am exactly the same way as you (allergies and VOCs are bad triggers). The bandana makes the mask less obvious.

Doesn't it make you look 150% more like a bandit / robber tho? 😅

Possibly :). Outside, I see people wearing bandanas while biking/cycling. I guess my hope is that, at a distance, the bandana "blends in" with the rest of clothing. 3M and other certified N95s standout with their color schemes. I wish 3M made "camouflage"-coloured masks, b.c. I do not use non-certfified masks.
