Description

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, there is a growing trend to wear face masks that attach behind ears. After prolonged periods of time first responders, medical professionals, and other public workers are complaining about ear strain from the masks. This item is intended to relieve that strain by wearing it behind the head and attaching the mask straps to the Ear Saver. There are multiple versions of this available already, but I've found the "one size fits all" approach doesn't work for everyone. This is due not only to the size of the head, but also to the many different ways this can be worn. For this reason I designed the Custom Fit Ear Mask Saver. This print is notched behind each hook to allow for it to easily be cut to the appropriate size as desired.
