FAQ

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Who do your masks protect and how?

Our masks are designed for everyday wear, by everyday people. We use only high-density, 100% cotton to contain the smallest particles possible.

We now know that many people with Covid-19 are asymptomatic, which means that you may be able to infect others even when you feel fine. Wearing a mask when you’re outside your home reduces the possibility of unknowingly passing infection within your community. The degree to which face masks protect healthy people from becoming infected themselves is still being studied. 

Some essential workers whose jobs don’t expose them to Covid-19 patients don’t need medical-grade protective equipment. Our masks are designed for them, too. 

Are your masks FDA-approved personal protective equipment (PPE)?

No, our masks are designed for everyday wear, by everyday people in compliance with current CDC guidance. They aren’t substitutes for the surgical masks or N-95 respirators that must be reserved for the healthcare workers who rely on them.

CARE AND USE

How do I know your masks will fit me?

We only make one size of each mask because they really are one-size-fits-almost-all. If you’re especially concerned that you might be hard to fit, we recommend choosing the Sentry over the Ace—the adjustable cotton ties offer more customization.

Should I wash my mask(s) before first wear?

We recommend any & all new masks that are purchased should always be washed before first wear.

How many times can I wear your masks before washing them?

We recommend washing a mask after each day of use, so it’s best to get a few. 

How should I wash your masks?

Because our masks are made of 100% cotton or cotton/linen blends, they’re fully machine washable, giving you the safest, most complete clean. You can also hand wash and line dry if you prefer.
