Putting ladies PANTYHOSE over your face mask makes it better at stopping spread of Covid, study finds Cambridge University researchers tested seven hacks to improve fit of masks Pantyhose and tape to secure mask to face most effective but uncomfortable Making comfortable fit-improvement products remains 'critical issue', they said They are a versatile fashion accessory and a staple in every woman's wardrobe.
But now researchers say wearing ladies tights on your face could slash your risk of getting Covid.
One of the criticisms aimed at commonly worn face coverings is that they do not fit tightly enough to significantly block viral particles from being inhaled or exhaled.
As part of a new study, Cambridge University experts reviewed a variety of DIY hacks people have used to make masks fit better, including using rubber bands or tape.
Curiously, they found the most effective tactic was to wrap pantyhose around the bottom half of the face — on top of a mask.
This, the scientists said, could reduce the amount of viral particles by up to seven times more than a loose mask on its own, by sealing the gaps around the nose and mouth.
But recognising the social and physical implications of wearing tights on your face in public, they noted it was 'unlikely to be tolerated for extended periods of time'.
The jury is still out on how effective mask-wearing is at reducing Covid infections at a population level, with conflicting results from both sides. Most scientists agree that they at least make a small contribution.
Tight-fitting medical grade masks, such as KN95s, are exceptional at blocking out the virus but they are often described as uncomfortable and are harder to acquire.
The most common surgical or cloth masks are far less resistant.
