Questions often asked about our masks:

  • Why should I wear a mask?

    Covid-19 primarily spreads when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or even talks, spreading germ droplets. Simply put, masks create a protective barrier. They are especially important in public settings where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.

    It is important to note that masks supplement everyday prevention habits like hand washing and social distancing, they do not replace them.

  • What are the benefits of a reusable mask?

    The obvious benefit is less waste. Single use and disposable masks create more clutter, more waste, and are, per use, more expensive than a reusable mask. Our masks can easily be cleaned and sanitized through a number of methods. Click here for more info.

  • What’s the best material for a mask?

    While covering your face with a bandana or folded fabric from around your home can reduce the spread of coronavirus by blocking outgoing germs from coughs or sneezes, they might not be as effective in protecting the wearer from incoming germs. The fit and quality of a mask are key differences here.

    This is why Ninfea uses 100% OEKO-TEX certified cotton. It is both hypoallergenic and water repelling, with a BFE (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency) of 99%. Despite its effectiveness, it is comfortable and minimizes restricted breathing.

  • How should I wear a mask?

    Wash your hands before putting your mask on. Loop it over your ears, positioning it over your nose and mouth and securing it under your chin. Our maks fit nice and snugly against the sides of your face.

    It’s important that it completely covers your mouth and nose when you are in public. Wearing a mask is part of following good health habits during this unusual time, as is staying two meters from others, avoiding contact with people that are ill, and sanitizing/ washing your hands often.

    When you’re home, remove the mask using the ear loops, and prep it for washing. Be careful not to touch your eyes or face, and wash your hands immediately.

  • Are Ninfea masks certified or approved?
