As masks are now a part of kids' daily realities [1], it's important to find different ways of making the "mask experience" as comfortable as possible for the little ones. After all, that's going to give us the best chance of having them keep the mask on their faces when outside the house. Enter: face mask brackets.
Face mask brackets are easily inserted into any face mask to create distance between the mask and face, allowing for more breathing space. They are great for allergies, regular stuffiness, or to make masks more comfortable, generally. They also make talking easier, which will be super helpful in the eventual in-school setting [2], and will prevent the dreaded possibility of kids taking off their mask to speak to one another. In high quality silicone that is soft and comfortable for children's skin, these mask brackets will keep your kids' masks on all day without an issue, making everyone's life easier (and safer [3]). Here are our top picks for face mask brackets that will fit into children's masks.
