Well, I haven’t read the article but there are sipmask attachments that can allow for drinking through a straw while keeping the seal. I have done this on flights.

I'm lucky.
I'm a tall, powerfully built man whose late beloved wife of 41 years described as "scary looking." So almost nobody gives me crap about wearing a quality respirator.
I shepherded her through 18 months of stage 4 small cell lung cancer without ever getting symptomatic covid.

I'm generally not shy about being the only masked person in spaces, but this is my first time using a SipMask ( for a coworker's going away party at a brewery). Definitely placed the valve too low. Hope it's not too awkward.

My partner is currently recovering from surgery in a hospital in Vancouver. To avoid #COVID -
✅ he is recently vaccinated,
✅ masks with an #N95,
✅ uses a #SIPmask to stay hydrated,
✅ uses a #QT3 air cleaner when eating,
✅ uses a saline #NasalSpray + #Enovid,
✅ & tracks #IAQ with a #CO2 monitor.

The latest Covid variant (razor blade throat) seems to have increased transmissibility resulting in more people ending up in hospital.
Most healthcare systems haven’t adopted clean air standards or mandatory respirator use.

I modified my @flomask.bsky.social to work with a Sipmask kit. The package contains the SipMask port, two caps, a support ring and thin straws.

Of course! I was pulling my mask up and down all the time, and the wear and tear was wrecking my masks. But SipMask has this little knob on the front so you don't wreck your mask or hurt your hand!

Probably a silly idea - I saw someone put a sipmask in an elastomeric and I wondered - I’ve had the oxygen through the thin tubes which could maybe go thru a sipmask somehow?

Yes, I do use SipMask. Longest was 20 hours and my face was hurting quite a lot. Now, I pack a Breathe elastomeric to switch into for comfort on longer journeys. Sip stays in an Aura N95.

Mein Mann hat sich heute (widerwillig) gegen Covid impfen lassen. Er wollte sich erst an d STIKO Empfehlung halten. Man bin ich froh, dass er d nicht gemacht hat. Montag Flug nach Stockholm, dann Ägypten, dann Oslo, dann Italien, dann USA…
Wenn ich ihn jetzt noch überzeugt krieg SIPMask zu tragen 🍀🙏

No. You get mask breaks. You can use a sip valve and you can find a mask that is the most comfortable for you.
There are HCWs who choose to do this bc their patients come first.
But clearly they do not for you.

Thank you. I miss her everyday.
I had to cut one of the spars to make it fit, but it supports the filter perfectly well.

By the way, the round thing is not an exhalation valve, but a one-way port that allows me to put a straw into my mouth without removing the mask. It's called a sipmask.

Prior to 2020, I had been hospitalized 2X for more than a week with pneumonia. Since 2020, with masking and good hand hygiene, I have not only not had the symptomatic covid, I haven't had a cold or flu.
Someone could gift her a @flomask.bsky.social. It's the most comfortable respirator.
