Athleta changed their masks

Hands down the best thing I've found for nose wires is that plastic thing at the top of the bag of coffee beans/grounds to close the bag. It's like 2 of those bread twist tie things about 1/4" apart dipped in plastic. Super awesome side effect of that plastic is they aren't rusting in the wash. Pretty sure I got the idea here on the BBB, so thank you. You can buy them on amazon, but we go through enough coffee that I just take them off the bags when we're done. There for a little bit all I could get was smaller bags of the coffee we liked, which worked out great because that was about 5x as many nose wires to our normal 1 giant bag of beans.

Do you have the Amazon link? I'd like to buy them and add them to my masks.

Our new fav masks are Banana Republic. They were recommended by Wirecutter.

Which ones? They have pleated and non-pleated

Thank you for starting this thread, Latia. I returned a mask to MamaSeamstress that was the wrong size. She said she would recut it and send it back out. But I just realized that was in October and I never received my mask! I just requested a refund.

I just tear ours off coffee bags (and asked neighbors and friends that I was making them for to do the same). The ones on our coffee look like this:

Like PP, I cut to the desired (long) length and make sure the ends are smooth with pliers.

You might be able to find them for a better price, I've never purchased them for price comparison. HTH!

Can someone share how to slip a new nose wire piece into an existing mask? I don't want to end up ruining the mask. Thanks!

Nonpleated. They are really thick so I don't feel like I need a filter.

I was so annoyed when I saw this! I don’t have them but friends were raving about the “made to move” athleta ones so I was going to buy a set for myself but they were out. The newer version in that fitted/contoured style are ridiculously expensive (2 for $40!) and have awful reviews. I was going to try the BR fitted ones but they also had bad reviews.
