Designed and made by Judy Lamb, a retired nurse with more than 40 years practical experience, including in the general surgery and recovery department of Oregon's leading hospital, OHSU.
We have limited supplies of N79 Masks, made in the USA:
extra-large size in paisley or green [$40];
large in blue [$38]; and,
medium in white with stars [$35].
The small size is sold out. Free shipping with tracking number, US Priority Mail.
Our masks have 79% filtration, compared to surgical masks (62% to 65% filtration) and N95 masks (97% filtration). The only difference between our masks and an N95 mask is that our masks do not have an activated carbon filter in the middle layer, which would make our masks non-washable and not reusable.
Loving Masks are 100% made in the USA and provide better protection than surgical masks. They are carefully made under federal CDC guidelines. Our masks are made with the best medical practices, which methods have been tested at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, a nationally recognized, fully integrated academic medical center and health system located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Our non-medical, personal use filtered fabric mask offer you the best of both worlds: far more protection than a cloth mask and far less inhaling resistance than an N95 Respirator, which make the heart work harder to keep up oxygen levels. Our masks are also designed to be softer and gentler on the skin when worn for long periods.
Each contoured, washable, and reusable mask is made of:
* the critical inner filter layer, which consists of two layers of non-woven polyester fabric;
* an outer and inner layer of tightly woven cotton fabric;
* elastic ear loops;
* a soft nose clip on the nose ridge for a tighter fit (and less fogging).
Loving Masks are pre-shrunken for a better permanent fit and sanitized in hot water and high heat drying. They are washable and therefore reusable many times. They can be easily hand-washed (gently, please). Or, machine wash in a delicates bag or a pillow case. Use of hot water with sudsy soap for 1-2 minutes is best with very gentle washing. Air drying is recommended since any heat in a clothes dryer will damage the elastic ear loops.
Masks are not returnable and no refunds allowed due to hygiene reasons and the personal use nature of the masks. Free shipping, within 1 business day of order, only to USA addresses by U.S. Priority Mail, 1-3 day delivery, with tracking number information.
