I saw the mask thread. Thank you. The masks DH and DS use currently are tied so there is no ear pressure and stay around their necks when not in use, so harder to lose.
I just bought the Old Navy masks for when they both go back to school, but they are the elastic behind the ear kind.
Question Has anyone bought the silicone straps that take the pressure off the ears you would recomend? Or maybe an adjustable lanyard?
There are so many to choose from. I'm leaning toward silicone extender things if they work well, but ultimately just want something that will be comfortable, stay in place, fit kid/adult, and will stay connected when around their neck.
Be careful with letting it hang around the neck when kids are playing on a playground. For the same reasons kids hoodies don’t have drawstrings, it’s a strangulation hazard, especially on slides.

Middle School, so no playground, but always a good reminder in general. Thanks!
Seems like it should come off just fine from one of the silicone things, lanyard less so.

Many lanyards are breakaway. I use one for my badge at work.
Here’s the thing about letting it hang: aren’t you exposing it to all the particles on your neck, chest, arms while not on your face?
It may anyway if he sets it down to eat (and his clothes don't ever really have pockets). I don't know. Plus, the silicone extenders wouldn't really let it hang. Just slide down around his neck like he does his tie one.
Just trying to think about things I've seen others talk about who need to wear them all day to help the ears and so he won't lose it. He's 10. It's bound to happen. Lol
(And why I thought it was worth a try to see if anyone has recommendations on something they've actually bought and liked. So many options and styles within options.)

I'm no help, but I'm casually looking for something, too! If you find something you like, will you please let me know? Thanks!

I bought one on off Etsy that has a breakaway feature and a nametag plate to label it. We originally planned on using a regular lanyard that we had laying around but he didn’t like how it hung. The one we bought will hang like sunglass Croakies. We will use the lanyard for to attach hand sanitizer to. And he can just wear that around his neck like normal.
