Two things I have learned today:

1. The FBI's motto is "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity". It's cute what they did there.

2. If you prefer (or can only get) ear loop masks but aren't such a fan of what they do to your ears, there are things to keep them from doing that. Human ingenuity and the can-do spirit is a remarkable thing.

My wife made me a cloth/button ear-saver. They're great for increasing tension to make sure you're breathing through the mask. My problem is, any style of ear loop is terrible if you wear hearing aids.

Those Etsy things that Conuly linked? Someone at my wife's observatory used their personal 3D printer and made something very similar. Didn't work well for me, so I'm going to use the cloth/button thingy that my wife made and move it between multiple masks when I go back to work Monday.

If you scroll down, you'll see crocheted button ear savers and also ear saver headbands as 'suggested'.

Oh, I'll bet that would not work with hearing aids.

I don't like the Etsy things just because they're not cute. lol

When I bought my tentacle mask online (from Chibi Yeti), I also bought a couple of 3D-printed thingies that are basically a giant S-hook. Works okay with masks with elastic loops, like they sent.
