OK, How does she keep her glasses from fogging up? I am serious. I was in town the other day and I had to completely abandon using a face covering (a homemade mask and a bandana) because my glasses fogged up to the point of blindness. Someone told me to wash my glasses in shaving cream. It did not work, and I tried 2 different shaving creams. There are no masks to buy. Anywhere. Since some of the businesses I patronize require a mask, I am fucked. If your business requires a mask, you best be prepared to offer me curbside delivery/service. Can you sense my frustration? Thanks for listening.
On Facebook someone suggested using a Kleenex. They wrote, “Today I added a Kleenex, folded into a strip, along the upper edge of the mask across the bridge of my nose (a trick someone posted on Facebook), and it actually helped.” I haven’t tried it yet. Let me know if it works.
“Masks Don’t work A Review of Science Relevent to Covid-19 Social Policy” a study by Denis G. Rancourt. PHD. Search on article or authors name and read the only information out there which even comes close to the truth.
F.Y.I which proves that the Covid-19 scar-a-thon was not allowed two sides of discussion.
insert a pipe cleaner in the upper stitching so it molds to your nose.
I’ve ordered some because the only ones we have are super prickly! We’ll see how they work. I’m hopeful.
Roll the ends over themselves to be round, like a spiral. Use pliers! Also can use bundled & twisted
“twist ties”… wrapped around themselves, and with the tiny ends bent in… sew a casing to the top of the mask if you can sew, if not use safety pins (four of them) – you’ll figure it out.
Thank you!
I had that problem until I figured out that I could anchor the face mask to my nose with the nose pads of my glasses. Fogging not a problem now.
i use lemon oil to stop my bathroom mirror from fogging up, maybe you could try that. you clean the glass then you put a little lemon oil on it and dont wipe it off, just let it dry
Like from the skin of a lemon?
i guess. i just buy a bottle of it from the grocery store. it used to be really cheap, my bottle is probably 15 years old, it doesnt take much
.
I’ll look for some today through my foggy glasses…
There is a lot on Youtube about that
Found these on line for sheep, I mean cheap…comply or go to prison.
Thanks FOG. Made me chuckle even though I’m grumpy today.
My goal is made today than. I wake up grumpy. I just try to find sarcasm and dark humor in the day and I go to bed happy. Family is everything right now people, show them love, and don’t forget to laugh at this paradox we call life.
I don’t have a washer or a dryer. What other can I do to clean the face mask?
We soak ours in alcohol and then dry but here are some more suggestions by a reputable source. https://www.livescience.com/sanitizing-medical-masks-for-reuse-coronavirus.html
Fogging is caused by warm, humid breath hitting the cold glasses from the top of the mask. I minimized the fogging by twisting the ear loops once so that the upper part is snugger against my nose and cheeks (and under the chin but the neck fog is not such a problem) so that my breath leaks out at the sides of the mask instead. I am planning to put a button of Velcro in the middle at the sides to reduce the gap that twisting causes near my ears.
