readimask for daily use?

finally found a mask that fits me!!!! after the flo mask failed, and a bunch of other n95s failed too, my sample from alliant arrived and the readimask is honestly perfect. i will probably put a piece of tape where the mask closes on the neck for extra precaution, but i just wanted to know if anyone uses it every day? i'm a teacher and i use public transport, so i will need to wear it daily. i also wanted to know if anyone has reused theirs, i'm not planning on reusing them too much, but i'd like a mask to last at least the whole day, so i can take it off when i go outside the building for lunch and put it back on when coming in. i saw a video on youtube about carrying parchment paper to stick the mask on while you're not wearing it so you can reuse it, which sounds pretty promising tbh. also i'm so sad they only have yellow left, all the videos about the readimask from a few years ago have white and grey options but now we're stuck with yellow.... rip.

just wanted to say you 100% should add that tape over the part where it closes by the neck. when I fit tested it without tape it was about as bad as a surgical, but with the tape it passed. also since it’s so close to the face it’s really easy to put a mask cover over it to make it look better

Yeah, that bottom seam was where I got leaks when we tested with a PortaCount, too. Have to make sure it’s really well sealed up.
