5 out of 5 starsThank you for the multiple masks! We were looking everywhere for medical themed masks as a gift for our adult daughter and you were able to provide them. We even asked if you could make them with ear loops instead of the ones that go over the head and neck....once again you came through. Thank you so much for your time and extra effort...it is greatly appreciated. An extra thank you for the donated (free) masks as well. They will definitely come to great use as she heads out to work at the hospital. Highly Recommended!

5 out of 5 starsMy second mask from this seller, I also purchased another for my mom as a Christmas gift. Great quality, and I love that the elastics wrap around the head so that the mask doesn't hurt my ears
