Nose Bridge Strips for Masks, Aluminum Metal Nose Strip, Adjustable Nose Clips Wire for DIY Mask Making Accessories for Sewing Crafts, 100Pcs

Update 9/2/20: my 11 year old grandson has needed this nose piece replaced everyday when he comes home from school. It is broken in half beforevthe end of the school day. He wears it for 7 hours at school and requests the metal piece so the mask doesn't fog his eyeglasses. He says he isn't playing with it. The cloth masks I make for him now have a slot so I don't need to rip the whole mask apart to put a new nose bridge in. I can slide a new piece in each day. The masks for his 13 year old brother and other adults are holding up through daily use and washing.I have been making cloth masks since March 2020 and the nose piece has been a challenge. There are a variety of homemade nose bridge ideas that require time to cut, twist or fold. I was looking for something that would stand up to washing and simplify the mask making process. I was surprised to find this item and decided to spend the money to save time.I like the ease of use. Perfect size, rounded edges. The adhesive holds in place so that it is easy to sew a cover over it. I decided to sew them inside the layers of the mask rather than make a pocket for the metal to be removed for washing.I have not had an opportunity to wash the masks with these nose bridges so I can't address how well they will hold up to frequent washing.They fit well and secure snugly and easily on the bridge of the nose. My husband and I wear eyeglasses and we were looking for a way to secure the mask snugly, comfortably and prevent the glasses from fogging. These are not bulky like some homemade options and work well for us.

This works well for anti-fogging safety glasses when I do yard work in the yard. I can see why some complain BUT there are many of them in the package so if one wears out I just use another.

For cotton masks, they work very well either on the inside or outside of the mask. The adhesive isn't very effective on polyester, though.Also, getting the paper backing away from the adhesive is tricky at first, until you figure out a way that works for you (I use the corner of my thumbnail near the edge of one end, and pull away from the edge towards the center of the strip).

Item arrived quickly and is exactly what I needed to make masks. I have not yet washed any masks with this adhered, so do not know how they hold up, however, I sew them into a casing on the mask in addition to being attached.The ends are rounded and the strips are very easy to manipulate. I have used (1) 16 gauge dead soft wire, but it was too difficult to bend and very firm on the nose. (2) Floral wire (approximately 26 gauge) needed to be twisted onto itself several times for it to be sturdy enough. (3) Doubled twist ties from coffee bags are great, however it takes a lot of coffee to have enough ;) and if I roll the ends to prevent sharp pokes, it makes it too bulky and difficult for sewing. I received donated pre-cut (4) aluminum strips from a factory that is donating to mask makers that are making masks for first responders and healthcare workers. They were great, however the ends are sharp. But they laid very flat and bent easily enough. They are still thicker than these ones.My preferred nose bridge strips are this listing (5). I had debated between purchasing this and the double twist wire pieces, but am glad I bought these. The rounded ends saves from the hassle of needing to turn ends on others, and this is a lot more easy to manipulate than the other metal strips, yet is still sturdy enough to hold its shape.I have only just made masks with these, so am not certain how well they hold up to washing or if they wear down with repeated bending and reshaping. They do flatten back out fairly well. The adhesive, even though I am not relying on that for mounting to my masks, makes it easier to be certain the strip holds in place as I sew. It has a very low profile and the strips are not as wide, approx 3/16". So, I am fairly confident I will not sew through the metal piece. There is a concave area which you want to make sure you have good contact. I run a brush handle over the backside of the fabric into the indent, you should see the material take that shape.

These help make a great seal around the nose. I always feel like there’s a small gap in the nose bridge of my masks and my glasses fog. These strengthen the nose piece and are easy to shape. They hold shape really well and they adhere really well too, throughout a full day easily, on my N95’s. Perfect really!

I knew when buying it would not stick great. I does what is needed for the time it is used prior to washing.Getting the sticker off the back is a bit of a problem if you don't have longer fingernails than a man.Pro's:1. it does stick to various material2. bending it to shape is easy as expected3. price was rightCon's::1. the curved back makes long term sticking difficult; if it were a flat piece of metal, I'm sure it would stick better and last longer2. related to the above, the surface area is very narrow. were it a bit wider, then the above may not be a problem or as much as a problem

An improvement to what I was using in the past. They say that we'll need masks sometimes in the future and it's always nice to have some for friends. But, these nose strips help keep the mask secure and flat on the nose so that those who wear glasses don't have "fog" problems.

These arrived promptly and are very easy to use. The adhesive pulls off easily and sticks well to the store-bought (Old Navy) cloth masks. The metal holds up all day even with removing the mask and putting it back on and adjusting. I have only run them through the washing machine once, in a delicates bag, and they didn't stay on the mask so I think they are really single-use. But, they keep my glasses from fogging up and they are a good price so I am very happy!

Seem to be working really well in my homemade masks - tight fit over the nose area- glasses do not fog up. I sew the clips into the mask to stay put. The adhesive is OK but doesn’t stick for too long - but good to use in a pinch on a mask that doesn’t have any nose clip. Seems well constructed.

Útiles y funcionales para lo que sirven.Te ayudan a impedir q se haga bajo en los lentes.Habrá q ver si aguantan una lavadaPor el momento. Buen producto

Terrible and a complete waste of money, too inflexible to use in face masks, but might be useful in the garden or toolbox

PRO:Ease of use, value for money, significantly reduce fogging of the glasses, and can be sown into cloth masks!!CON:Unless sown into cloth masks, adhesive is one time use during washing machine.Highly recommend for those whose masks do not fit snug against the face or suffer from fogging of the glasses due to air from mask.Great for kids and adults

Good size and had the correct number of wires in the pack. The adhesive is quite sticky but I will be sewing them into the masks so it's not really needed. You can get the adhesive strip off the back without much trouble but it will be easier to just leave it on. The backing on the adhesive is plastic so it shouldn't do anything weird when washing the masks like paper would. The strips are thin enough to be bent easily, but be careful about putting kinks in it that will later break if you tend to straighten the strip after wearing to store the mask. I like that the edges are nicely rounded so I don't have to worry about it ruining the fabric or poking out.
