The knot and tuck method, which involves knotting the ear loops closer to the mask and tucking the excess material, helps improve the fit of a mask around the ears.
Here's a breakdown of the "knot and tuck" method for improving mask fit:
- Knotting the Ear Loops:
- Take each ear loop and tie a knot as close to the edge of the mask as possible. This shortens the loop.
- Tucking the Excess Material:
- After knotting, you'll likely have extra material on the sides of the mask near your ears. Tuck this excess fabric inward, creating a tighter seal against your face. The tucked fabric should lie flat against your cheeks.
By employing this method, you'll reduce gaps around your nose and cheeks, improving overall mask effectiveness and comfort.
