if that is the basic cloth mask, better not get it for 170-200 bucks.

instead buy a pack of hand-kerchiefs and a bottle of eucalyptus oil.


Use hanky as mask and on the outside or between two layers of cloth (when you fold hanky as mask), apply eucalyptus oil (a drop or two). use the hanky when you are outside. Once your reach office or house or any safe place, dispose it in proper manner.

You can also wash it in boiled water and reuse the hanky.

This I think is much better way than using that wafer thin useless mask. For mask, N95 is a better option but is costly (around 300 bucks).
