    Pick these up last week, does anyone find they pull your ears forward a bit? They fit fine around the face and are comfortable but I look like the FA Cup after wearing it for a while!
    They are a bit stretchable,find them really comfortable
    They are a bugger for steaming up glasses though.

    These have 2 layers, as a matter of interest why do people want 3 as thought 2 was deemed to be sufficient, is it just a case you want more protection and why is that?

    Get some kitchen towel and put it between the mask and your face ,that should stop glasses steaming up.
    Heard that mentioned somewhere recently

    Thanks I tried that and only kind of worked.
    I think I will just stick on contacts

    I thought 3 was deemed better than 2 at least by WHO

    Rubbing a tiny bit of washing up liquid on your glasses and then wiping them gently clear so there is still a thin film has worked for me.

    Yeah, got these but I find them too tight, obviously they need to be snug but too severe, they fit my 12 year old perfectly.

    Same, pulling the ears off me, unwearable for anything over half an hour.

    I've a small face and small ears, and I've found this with all but surgical masks. Think my ears are just soft!

    also find them tight and pulling on my ears a bit. maybe I just have a fat head !!
    I find the surgical masks much more comfortable.

    Crap, I ordered a couple of packs of them and I do have a fat head! Sounds like I'll be struggling with them. :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,021 ✭✭✭Miike


    Did you all buy in M/L? I have a fairly hefty noggin and they are a bit loose. Maybe my dome aint so big!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,662 ✭✭✭Duke of Url


    I’ve a biggish head but I also have satellite dishes on the side of my head so the masks don’t pull that much . I would call them snug more than tight. I have the M/L . I would say the blue ones are more snug then the black ones.


  • Registered Users Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Vudgie


    I agree these are very small....they are otherwise very comfortable so i am going to try to add longer elastic.

    Hi, didn't reply earlier because Puma face masks have been out of stock. Now in and it's 9.95 for 2. They are by far the best I have tried and just ordered another 6. Adjustable and tightens around nose. Great design and triple layered unlike the pretty poor Adidas type which like others, I find quite tight.

    None that I'm aware of other than spend 50 and the shipping fee is waived

    Find the Adidas mask tight around the ears but can't stand the surgical masks,


  • Registered Users Posts: 403 ✭✭E mac


    Anyone try an Under Armour one ? There €30 each...! Looks great but there €30 each.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Vudgie

    Very comfortable on the face but the ear loops are very short.....I bought elastic and adjusted them and they are much better.

    You can buy masks in any independent store for 5 euro each.

    I'd rather buy from them and give them some business than go direct to Adidas who claim they're donating to kids when they have kids working in sweatshops.

    I assume you've posted this opinion of yours from a Fairphone?

    If you're more concerned about the ethics than the price then I would recommend not browsing Bargain Alerts.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,716 ✭✭✭brightkane


    Are the Adidas M/L for adults and the smaller size more suited for kids?

    Nope.

    I'll buy whatever is beneficial for me but trying to make this out as a bargain when they're worth a max 5 euro each anyways should be called out.

    A bargain is something sold for less than what is expected. These facemasks I would expect are sold for max 5 euro each. But if you want to class a 5c saving over 3 masks as a bargain, you do you.

    Ah you stopped caring about the kids in the sweatshops quite quickly.

    Be sure to clear out your wardrobe and house of any well-known brands as you can get the equivalent items cheaper elsewhere without the brand name for a fraction of the price. There's a good lad.

    Never said I cared enough about them to not buy things I want.

    My point was if an indie shop is selling them for 5 euro and Adidas are reducing them from 10 to 5 euro, I know which one I'll be going for.
