I have cloth masks, given to me by my employer. Two different styles. Both uncomfortable because the fibers tickle my nostrils, they fill up with sweat, and are usually dripping wet after 2 hours of wearing them - thus making them heavier, wetter, and even MORE clingy to my nostrils and mouth than when they were dry.

I keep them on hand for the second half of my shift, after my break. I also wear those when I'm doing my own shopping, because I know I won't be sweating in them for hours on end.

But for most of my workday, I find that the traditional disposable exam masks are the most comfortable. It seems that most of our fellow employees are discovering the same thing - when they are assigned to the same tasks I do for my shifts, they usually wear the disposable ones. When they're assigned to be the cashier for the day, they usually wear the cloth ones.

Thanks, that is interesting! i have ordered a cloth mask (ad was on this site) for $6 that is supposed to have 3 layers with the innermost one being moisture dissipating. Also, it has adjustable ear loops. It could be comfortable?
