I know, we're a year into this, right? But looking for recommendations?
Our masks are old. I'm going to just order disposable ones for the adults.
DD is my issue. She has a mix of homemade, Joah Love, Target, and Gap masks. They are all worn/elastic stretched, and old and need to be replaced. I disposable ones, and she says they're not comfy... she would like to replace them with... Joah Love, since those are her favorite. They are also the most expensive, and a one week supply would be over $100, which is pricey. She also has to wear them longer than anyone else in the family, so if I need to spend the bucks for her to wear them correctly, be comfortable, and not fidget with them, I guess that's what I need to do... but I figured I'd ask for recommendations from other folks who have kids wearing them.

I bought the crayola packs for both kids and they seem good and cheap for school. Also they are solid colors which ds2s school requires. Ds1s favorites are from zazzle. He likes the ones with the thin white elastics and he chose his own designs.

My DD likes the ones from Kohl's. She's 8. The ear straps are adjustable and they have some cute designs. They're washable. She wears one each day and then we wash them.
My kids double mask, with a disposable under an Old Navy cloth one. DD2 likes the straight ones and DD1 prefers the ones with a a little curve. They are cheap ($12.50 for 5) and do the job.

I am on the search too. My kids dislike old navy kids and the "new" target ones. Dd1 just started wearing my adult old navy ones but I am struggling to find replacements for dd2, who is 8. Some kids ones are too small but adult are way too big. I don't know what to get her because I don't want to invest a lot of money into more masks that she might hate or lose.
Both of my kids have gravitated away from the “softer” ones to a more pressed cotton type. I think they sit nicely away from the face as opposed to getting warm and wet and being sucked into your mouth when you breathe. They have a good nose piece that is especially helpful for glasses. They both reach for these first over all others.
My kids like the animal old navy ones with the adjustable ears. They wear them all da6 at school without complaint, and fight over their favorite animals.

I don't really go here (I'd like to!), but E wears the Tommie Copper kid-size masks (you can get them at Home Depot). They have blue and red and although they're not adjustable, they seem to fit his face really well.

Rafi makes very good masks. I found them BC our school bought smile masks from them, but their cloth masks are very well made. They aren’t cheap either though.
My daughter prefers old navy rn. My son prefers Etsy ones that are thicker and have a rounded shape to them so they don’t sit right on his face.
DS has struggled with masks, in part because he wears glasses and the fogging makes him nuts. We got the Funkins ones on Amazon, and he said he liked that one a lot. DD likes Target. Again, she wears glasses, so her glasses may anchor the mask to her face and keep it on.
I got an adult Funkins one, and it is by far my favorite mask. It stays away from my face when I talk and breathe but fits really, really well.

My ds likes Hanes masks. They are cotton lite a tshirt and soft. The ear loops are of the same material. He got white ones free at school -- they are like underwear for your face!
Popping back in to ask if anyone has found something that works best for sports. The girls have been complaining that they want to wear disposable masks for gym class and that's what they want for summer camp since it will be hot. But I hate the idea of all that trash building up just because they want disposable masks. Any kids in sports find a brand they like better than for day to day wear?
My kids swear by the athleta masks for sports. DD1 played a whole basketball season masked, and DD2 has been playing soccer masked since last July. They’re really breathable.
