Yes I do that too. Even though even the CDC doesn’t recommend them anymore, seems like Medical facilities continue this uncalled for practice. I have a mask made out of netting (you can’t tell it’s virtually breath thru). And I wear that one below my nose.

Yes, before I, thank the Lord, found a PC physician and common sense dentist who had no mask mandate, I always wore the ‘fake mask.’They are easy to obtain. Why would you wear one that restricts your breathing?

Paula- I have one of those types of masks for "emergency use only" like certain medical offices. It was the best thing I ever bought in 2020- conventional masks give me panic attacks and gag me.

I wanted to get one of those fake masks, but never got around to it!

As I work in healthcare and intermittently have to don a mask, I have special N95's I've modified that fit very loosely and have holes punched in strategic locations. Probably not as breathable as netting, but they are tolerable for short periods.
