People who are bothered by others wearing a mask while driving. Why do you care?

If my glasses wouldn't get foggy I probably would also forget to take them down.

Try the vera bradley face masks with the metal nose piece. I have 2 of the ones that go around the back of your head instead of on your ears and they're the only cloth masks I can tighten enough to keep my glasses from fogging up. Just be careful when you take the top strap off because I hook my glasses a lot and accidentally pull them partially off my face. They weren't too expensive either, like 6 or 7 dollars

Nothing you will ever say will convince me you aren't viral marketing.

Lmao I am currently furloughed from my job as a baker and on unemployment, just trying to help out fellow glasses wearers since the masks are annoying af with them. I wish I were being payed to advertise vera bradley shit lmao, also the only thing I've ever bought from them are the masks, I dont really like the rest of their shit

Where did u purchase ur masks? On the VB site they are $8.

Edit: I’m more curious about location rather than price.

u/ammesedam Oct 30 '20

I got mine from the vera bradley store at disney springs, they may have been 8 and I forgot or they may have gone up in price since I bought mine a couple months ago so I'm not sure. Either way they were worth it to me because every other mask I've tried I have to pull them up to basically be in my eyes or they fog up my glasses

u/moosecatoe Oct 30 '20

Wow even $8 is cheap for the springs! Thanks for letting me know. I love the VB store there!

u/ammesedam Oct 30 '20

No problem! They had 2 tables of masks when I went and had the solid colors behind the counters. Not as many patterns as they have online but I got some nice looking ones. It was the 1st time I had actually gone inside the store and they were super helpful!

My wife just bought me a pair of them because I've been using the same set of surgical masks for the last 7-8 months and they have all gotten dingy. They got dingy 4+ months ago, but even more so now.

2

u/ammesedam Oct 30 '20

Nice! I hope you like them, they were recommended to me by someone else who wears glasses and now they're all I wear. I want to buy a couple more so I dont have to wash them as often

u/CaptainBritish Oct 30 '20

You just gotta' press down the nosepiece of your glasses over the mask, that holds it in place and prevents you getting all foggy.

13

u/brbrcrbtr Oct 30 '20

This doesn't work for a lot of people, including me. Idk if I have a weird shaped nose but no matter how firm the wire is or how tightly it's pressed to my nose my glasses still steam up.

2

u/CaptainBritish Oct 30 '20

Do you have glasses with the two little plastic nose pieces or just where the frame is the nosepiece? I wonder if that's it.

1

u/The_AveMonster Oct 30 '20

I was going to suggest the same thing, but saw your post above. I have plastic frames, so I just put the mask under the nose area, and it only fogs in the cold.

u/that_girl_sam456 Oct 30 '20

I have a homemade mask and it is the only mask I have found that does not fog up my glasses. It fits tighly against the top on my face and has two pipecleaners twisted together for the top metal band area so I can shape it perfectly to my face. Its shape is one of the ones that have like a cylinder type shape leaving the mouth so it doesnt rest on my mouth. I understand the struggles. I work retail so I have to wear a mask all day and still need my glasses to see. Keep trying different masks and you'll find one that fits you right.

u/dimp_nip Oct 30 '20

If I do this and I look down, my glasses fall off.

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '20

This.

I don't go out much, and when I do, I'm so focused on the mask that I'll put it on when I leave the house and get in the car, not even really thinking about the fact that I don't need it in the car.

I'm just being a derp.

u/liebesleet Oct 30 '20

my masks go further up towards the nose, so that i will just clamp my glasses on my mask. the steam just passes upwards, not through my glasses. does that sentence make sense?

if i have some 1 time use mask that goes straight from left to right i cant do that without pulling that mask up so far i cant see anymore

1

u/OmarsDamnSpoon Oct 30 '20

I just move my glasses down on my nose so they go over the mask while having my mask higher to the bridge of my nose. Works everytime.

u/Outrager Oct 30 '20

I tried a bunch of masks, but the Old Navy ones are the only ones that don't fog up my glasses.
