After months of wearing masks anytime we left the house, my tweens and teens were ready for something besides the boring masks they had been wearing. We decided that since school is starting back up in-person (with masks required), we wanted to get some exciting new masks. My boys were so happy to choose masks that could show a little of their personalities and interests.
What to Look for in a Mask for Teens or Tweens
- Style. Tweens and teens are much more likely to use a mask correctly if it’s something they want to wear. Think about their interests and preferences when shopping for a mask. There are masks with fun patterns, themes, and logos.
- Comfort. We all prefer to wear clothing items that are comfortable, and masks are no exception. Soft, breathable fabrics and adjustable straps help make a mask more enjoyable to wear.
- Protection. There is no point in wearing a mask if it doesn’t offer needed protection. While your child might not care so much about the safety a mask can provide, you do. Look for multiple layers and a good fit. Make sure to follow CDC guidelines when looking for a mask.
- Ease of use. If a mask is hard to put on or keep on, your child likely won’t wear it (or won’t want to wear it). Your child’s preferences and personality might help determine which mask to choose. There are several different kinds of masks including fabric and traditional masks and the gaiter style masks that cover the neck and face. What works for one child might not be the best option for another as far as how easy it is to use. If a mask isn’t quite right, look at some mask accessories to make a mask easier to wear.
