Mask chains are part of a growing group of products entrepreneurs have dreamed up to target just about every mask-related want, need or problem.

Toronto clothing designer Hilary MacMillan poses for a photograph wearing her self-designed mask chains at her studio in Toronto, Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan DenetteTORONTO -- When COVID-19 began spreading across Canada and face masks became the year's hottest fashion accessory, Hilary MacMillan uncovered an opportunity.

Can't stop your mask from irritating your nose or ears? There are headbands, ear muffs and hats to attach the straps to, soft pads you can add to problem spots and clips to keep masks in place. If you're sporting facial hair, there are beard guards that fit with masks and if you wear glasses, sprays and lenses that promise to reduce or eliminate fog too.

Just 15 per cent of face masks being sold are described as comfortable, 6 per cent are marketed as breathable and 7 per cent are called lightweight, according to research from U.K.-based retail market intelligence company Edited. Regardless of whether an item is encouraged by public health officials, McNeish says entrepreneurs face the challenge of waning interest.

The products are appealing to shoppers beyond the wedding market and help the company offset smaller order sizes now that weddings must limit attendees and many couples have put off their nuptials altogether.

Masks don’t work anyway. Virus is smarter than that

Stupid

Government sponsored parasitism at its worst. Making and marketing quasi-medical devices that are unlawfully forced on the Canadian people, risk those same people adverse health effects (even death) and further benefit the companies with subsidies is horrifying exploitation.

It is becoming painfully clear that the mainstream media is the enemy of the people and that the people are the enemy of mainstream media.

and advertising space

So subservient Canadians, why?

That’s the plan. Duh. It’s all a scam.

I'm not buying it! I want no masks!

As people in the third world are starving due to COVID related lockdowns, people in the west use masks as fashion accessories. You people are disgusting.

....One of the greatest psychological experiments & brainwashing of our nation's time 99.99% world impacted by lockdowns, for something 99% + humans recover from SCAMDEMIC2020 PlanDemic2020 Control GreatReset SelectiveData DataForControl AgeAlwaysMattered

Anyone making money off theses stupid masks should rub salt up their but holes.
