Where to buy cloth face masks online: Order now for delivery within days

One of the simplest and safest ways to prevent the spread of germs, like the COVID-19-causing coronavirus, is to wear a mask. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, “Cloth face coverings are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus — particularly when used universally within a community setting.” In a nutshell, what masks do is limit the number of airborne droplets (tiny, invisible specs of spit emitted from our mouths when we talk, laugh, cough or sneeze) that people emit into the air around them. One of the reasons people cite as obstacles to wearing a mask is their comfort, something a cloth mask can help with. Light and breathable, as well as easy to attach and remove, cloth masks are some of the most popular face coverings available. Here we share some reliable retailers supplying affordable ones.

Well Before Anti-Microbial Reusable Face Mask

The cloth masks offered by Dallas-based Well Before (formerly Honest PPE Supply) complement both work life and casual activities for everyone in your home, thanks to their easy-to-use features — like ear loops and nose pin — versatile sizing, and antibacterial elements.

This cloth face mask has a silver ion coating, which is a polymer-containing silver technology. When germs land or form on the cloth, the coating sends silver ions to attack them, safely killing microbes that might degrade your mask or cause it to smell. In case that gives you pause, it passed the Biocidal Products Regulations (BPR) safety certification and is in line with the national FZ / T 73023 antibacterial knitwear AAA security standard. The mask has a patented three-layer system. The first is stretch cotton and is it used to block dust and large particles. The second is an isolation liner, which protects against any dust that made it through the first. Finally, there’s the inner fabric layer, which is hygroscopic (it absorbs moisture from the air) and more breathable.

Best of all, this mask boasts an antibacterial rate of 99% after 50 uses and frequent washing. You can wash and reuse this mask again and again. And your family can, as well. Pricing is set at just $7.95 per mask with a minimum order of two.

N95MaskCo. Cloth Face Mask

If you are comfortable going without an antibacterial layer, as many of us are, a good alternative for a well-fitting face mask is N95MaskCo.

This is a more basic mask that offers many of the same comfortable features. N95MaskCo. emphasizes the comfort of the stretch cotton fabric in the materials used to cover your mouth, similar to the best neck gaiters.

All of us have different-sized and shaped visages, from our ears to our cheekbones to our chins. So it can be a relief to have a cloth mask, or a number of masks, that will fit you well, as well as other members of your family (it’s available in men’s, women’s and kids’ sizes). The advantage here is not just ease of wear, but the fact that such stretch will give your mouth and face the maximum amount of coverage. You can fold up this mask and stuff it in your pocket without worrying about losing shape and it has cloth-bound elastic ear straps to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

This basic alternative to the antibacterial cloth masks offered by Well Before is available for $1.60 per mask when you buy a 12-pack for $20.

Huawei finds its niche with the sporty Watch GT Runner
Huawei Watch GT Runner on wrist.

By focusing on a specific niche, Huawei may have found an audience for its latest smartwatch, the Watch GT Runner. It’s a spinoff of Huawei’s classier Watch GT 3 smartwatch, but as the new watch’s name suggests, it's targeted squarely at runners.

It’s a technically impressive bit of hardware, and the software is very good, so when you consider it as an alternative to other running watches, the Huawei idiosyncrasies that frustrate on the Watch GT 3 become less of a problem here. I've been trying it out and here are my thoughts.
A light touch
The Huawei Watch GT Runner is light -- just 51 grams with the very flexible silicone strap -- and that makes it comfortable to wear all day. The 46mm case is quite big, but at 11mm thick, it never feels that ungainly. For comparison, the new 47mm Garmin Fenix 7 weighs 79 grams and is nearly 15mm thick. The lightness comes from the polymer fiber case, which is given some visual appeal with a ceramic bezel and titanium crown. It’s also worth noting the huge amount of adjustment on the strap that allows it to be worn both under and over clothing.

When will we come to a time when every accessory in our home is smart? Is there a limit to what should actually be smart? Let's talk about a category that may not be what you traditionally think of as a smart device -- the toothbrush.

I'm all for having smarter health products and having the best technology in our hygiene products (like bidets), but I've not put a lot of thought into how, or why, my toothbrush is smart. It's time to dive in and see if it's even worth it.

Hawk-Eye is a company that's there to lend an automated assist. Used in an ever-growing number of sports, including the NFL, Hawk-Eye's tech consists of synchronized multi-angle cameras that can help track large numbers of data points on the sports field.
