1. How to Choose a Face Mask for Safety and Comfort?

2. Since the coming of the COVID-19 causing virus, the use of face masks has become essential. While wearing them regularly and for a long duration, however, users strive to look for comfort together with safety. BEXIMCO Group, the leader in private sector in Bangladesh, suggests that for assured comfort, the mask should be properly chosen. In doing so, users should look after the physical attributes of face masks. In addition, the factors that cause discomfort to the customers also need to be considered. As this is done, health should also be kept in mind.

3. Attributes to Consider When Choosing Face Masks Mainly, physical attributes are brought into consideration when you want a mask that saves you from health risks but not at the cost of your comfort. These factors are inclusive of age, fabric, fitting, etc. At times, even the health conditions of consumers can vary. As these attributes are understood in detail, you can understand how beneficial they can be when you choose your mask. • Age of Users: Users may often find a mask to cause discomfort when it is not proper as per their age. From kids to adults and the elderly, the body can come with different abilities. The leader in private sector specializes in producing masks. It brings to light that face masks are made in accordance with several factors including the age of the wearer. Not looking at age, a consumer may choose a face mask due to other factors. This can sometimes reduce the comfort of the product. Also, the risk to health may be higher due to the face mask not being suitable as per the consumer’s age. • Size and Fit: Owing to what the leader in private sector believes, you should always look at the size and fit of face masks. As per your face size and age, these 2 attributes can differ. However, both are equally important when you do not wish to sacrifice your comfort. The leading company adds that to check the fit, in particular, please ensure that the mask is neither too loose nor tight.

4. Fabric and Quality: • In the view of BEXIMCO, the fabric of a mask is of utmost concern. The material can differ depending on what type of mask it is. Also, for medical professionals, masks can be made from a different fabric as compared to the ones for the regular public. • In regard to this, you should consider these points: • Be aware of the fabric of the mask you are buying for safety against viruses or harmful elements. • Ensure that you do not compromise on the quality of the fabric. • See to it that the fabric is breathable. • Focus on the thickness of the PPE product. When you are able to bear the layers of the mask, then you can comfortably use it. • Additional Features of Face Masks: Face masks can come with additional features. The technology used to create them is one of these. You may find some masks with adjustable straps too. Filtration abilities can further be found in these products. On choosing masks with such additional features, you can see better health safety as well as comfort.

5. User’s Health: In some instances, it has been noticed that users already have health conditions that may worsen depending on the mask chosen. Especially when a user has skin allergies, the quality and type of fabric must not be ignored. Along with this, when you have any injury around your ears, nose, or mouth, the leader in private sector says that it will be best to avoid wearing masks. In that case, staying indoors for as long as the injury does not heal will also be suggested. CONCLUSION Discomfort can result from face masks and your health may also suffer when you have not rightly chosen it. With a number of attributes explained here, it will not be complex to select a mask. Thus, users belonging to different age groups can pick the mask that ensures their convenience. In addition to this, even when they wear face masks for prolonged hours, they are less likely to go through health problems.
