Where have you found the cheapest place to buy reusable 3ply masks?
Feel more comfortable if a reputable seller but where people have used and found good quality.
Many masks that are reusable are only 1 or 2 layers but looks like 3 layers works best (like surgical masks)

Thanks for any advice
ebay
Plenty of people making them at home on Facebook market place. Only way cheaper is to make your own.
For cloth mask, it's all about g/m² and threads/cm². Most cloth mask are not tested and it's difficult to know the g/m² and threads/cm² but it's better than nothing.
Unfortunatly, it's often worst than a surgical mask.
3 layers of cotton poplin should be better than 3 layers of wool (from a jumper).
Cotton on reusable masks filter 90% of 3micron particles but the washing machine (60°C) can damage the filter inside the mask…
Put it in the oven at 60-70°C for 30-60min (especially if there is a polypropylen layer) or boil it at the same temperature.
look for one that meet DHHS guidelines,
being 3 ply and a water resistant outer.
So far I have found the one from
The social studio
and
Sisterworks to be to a decent standard.
Check at early morning times to get stock and then wait out the delay.
Dont get sucked in by a note it meets TGA guidelines, thats a pretty low standard from what I can tell.
there are 5 and 6 layers options available with pockets for filter inserts.
i've been using multiple of these since mid-feb
How about ones with a nose wire?
