A doubled washcloth and shoe laces make a protective mask.

This is a serious (but weird) question. I wonder how thin panty liners would work as a filter.

Better suggestions:

1) vacuum cleaner bags with allergen filters
2) coffee filter #4
3) swifter dry sheets

Plastic is generally not a good thing.

Also, need to keep in mind breathableness.

I don’t have any of those things in the house. Maybe paper towels for the short term.

Maybe mink stoles will make a comeback.

We can’t tell without testing. If you remove the plastic liner, how breathable would they be as a filter? I know some of them advertise that they’re ‘breathable’, but I doubt that’s what they meant for our new purposes.

IIRC, the very basic, cheap ones don’t have plastic. I’m not sure.

Check out this link for good fabrics. They suggest doubling 100% cotton like t-shirts to be better than vacuum cleaner bags because of breathability.

I heard paper towels do very little.

Yes. That’s a good site. I bookmarked it earlier today. LOTS of good info there!

Are liberal women designing their home-made face masks to look like vaginas?

I thought wearing underwear on your head is ‘torture.’ At least it was a Gitmo, according to liberals.

That’s the pattern that I’ve been using.

I have a stockpile, now...lol.

Sending to friends.

Do you use wire, or omit?

Omit could break if you try and bend it, so I’d use wire.
