Why the new Avocado Face Mask is worth buying
Official CDC guidance (opens in new tab) recommends that all of us should wear a face covering to help slow the spread, whether that’s a homemade face covering (opens in new tab), a fabric mask, or if you’re aged over 60 and living in an area with active virus transmission, a medical grade mask (not to be confused with an N95 respirator mask, as used by health professionals). These types of coverings offer a degree of protection when you’re in close contact with someone outside of your household, and also help protect others from infection if you have coronavirus symptoms (opens in new tab). Don’t forget, some people are also asymptomatic, which means they don’t have any symptoms such as loss of taste, a new cough or a fever - read our guide to the best digital thermometers (opens in new tab) for advice on how to take your temperature. Each mask has a pocket for particulate filters The redesigned Avocado Green masks now have particulate filter pockets, which are an important design feature for a face mask. According to Loretta Fernandez, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Northeastern University, who authored a study (opens in new tab)on face mask materials, a particulate filter can be highly protective: “The idea is to create an efficient series of layers with bends within the fabric that make it harder for the virus to have a straight shot at a person’s nose.” The Avocado Green Face Mask has an internal pocket sewn along one third of the mask, making it easy for you to slip your particulate filter inside. You could even use a coffee filter inside your mask to add an extra layer of protection. Just remember to take it out before washing the mask. Each mask is made from non-toxic materials The Avocado Mattress Face Mask uses non-toxic material, and is made with a two seven-ounce layer of cotton for better airflow, making the mask more comfortable to breathe in during longer periods of wear. That organic cotton should also be kinder on your skin, as there will be no nasties rubbing up against it. They’re simple to wear and wash The Organic Cotton Face Mask comes with either tie loops that fasten behind your head, or with elasticated loops that go over your ears. The masks can be thrown in your front-load washer (opens in new tab)with your regular laundry, making them simple to care for. And if you’re popping them in your dryer (opens in new tab) afterwards, dry them on a low heat only, and keep in mind that some slight shrinkage is to be expected when drying them this way.
