Relieve That Suffocating Feeling With Mask Brackets
2020 came and went, but COVID-19 decided to stay. Surprise! It’s not a hoax. It’s as real as the day is long, and no bogus conspiracy theory out there is going to change that. As we grieve the loss of life and begin to accept the sheer uncertainty of what is to come, we must also accept and uphold our newfound civic responsibilities. So, for the love of all things good and holy, practice social distancing, wash your hands, and wear your mask.
It’s as simple as that. Then again, there’s nothing in this world so simple that it can’t be complicated by human stupidity. Don’t get me wrong, wearing a mask sometimes is hard, especially for extended periods of time or when you’re trying to pump some iron at the gym. Wearing a mask can also trigger a sense of claustrophobia or anxiety in some people. However, wearing a mask does not prevent you from breathing, and it certainly does not infringe upon your constitutional rights. Perspective aside, it can still be a colossal pain. Which is exactly what must have been going on in the mind of whatever fed-up genius crafted the idea of a mask bracket.
Mask brackets look like mini human muzzles that you place under your mask to help you breathe. They create more space around your mouth, eliminating that suffocating feeling. This extra space also protects your skin from irritation, prevents your glasses from fogging up, and most importantly, ladies, prevents your makeup from rubbing off and staining your mask. As if all that wasn’t enough, these bad boys are extremely affordable and washable, so only one purchase is necessary. What more could we ask for during this “mask-on” phase of our lives?
The Cool Protection Stand – 3D Mask Bracket is a 5-pack of 3D mask brackets that I bought off Amazon for just $7, but there are plenty others to choose from. Mask brackets are made from harmless, non-toxic, food-grade silicone material, making it not only convenient but soft, comfortable, and non-irritating to the skin.
I originally made this purchase to help while I was working out at the gym, but I’ve used it in a fair share of other situations as well. Needless to say, it works.
I do want to note that how well it fits will depend on what type of mask you have. Most of the brackets I’ve seen can either be attached to the strap of your mask or attached to the inside with double-sided tape. If you decide to permanently attach the bracket to your mask, then simply just wash them together. Wearing a mask has never been easier.
