Many state governments are continuing to enforce people over the age of 2 wear masks in public to help protect themselves against COVID-19. But any parent knows that explaining the importance of masks to a young child may be tricky and, at times, hard to do. Enter MaskClub, the first subscription-based online face mask company that wants to help make these uncertain times a little less scary for kids.
Masks are no longer just for play, they’re an important part of keeping the entire family safe. To help kids get more comfortable with themis partnering with over 800 licensed brands to make masks with prints from NASA, Betty Boop, Popeye, Care Bear and more. The company is working to create 20,000 double-ply masks each day, all of which are sewn in America.
The idea came to founder Trevor George, after he noticed his then 8-month-old son was scared of seeing him in a face mask. He decided to make them less scary with prints more recognizable to kids. “These are confusing times,” George said in a press release. “We want to help families make the situation a little better, and hopefully brighter, by featuring beloved brands that resonate with children and making the act of mask wearing less intimidating.
MaskClub offers a subscription-based buy one, donate one model, in which customers will receive a new mask every month from their favorite brand. For each monthly delivery, the company will also donate a medical grade mask. Subscriptions are $10 a month, while single mask purchases are $14.
