Mask Strap Extender Adjustable Ear Saver for Masks, Anti-Slip Ear Strap Hook Relieve Pressure & Pain for Ear Protector Wearing Long-time Mask for Nurse Dust-worker Food-worker Men Women Kids, 5PCS

They are great holds in place without falling off.

Overall good product. I probably should have ordered a different type based on how I wear my hair, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a good product. It has really helped with the irritation I was getting around my ear. The straps fall out sometimes, but only when moved around a lot. I’d recommend them, they do what they are meant to do!

What I learned through Covid was my ears aren’t that strong!Snug masks were always making my ears bend.So I found these straps which are awesome. My only gripe is, the mask will tend to slide down so I’m often adjusting.It’s all good though. I’m alive.And my ears thank me.

I read "flexible" and took it to mean, "stretches like rubber."It doesn't. Don't be fooled.From the description:- "Anti-Slip Ear Strap"Seriously? It's hard plastic. Hard plastic slips all over the place when it's against hair. It slips and slides.- "This ear hook is made of durable PP flexible material ...""Flexible" means It just bends and twists. It will not stretch like rubber. "PP" must stand for "Predominantly Plastic"- Material: Eco-friendly TPU flexible material.You just said it was made from PP material? If TPU means, "Thermoplastic Polyurethane" flexible material, then that's more accurate.- "... maximum comfort design, tasteless, long life."I didn't taste my mask strap extender so I can't comment here.

Sent this back because it didn’t stay on my head. Maybe my head is small for it , but I couldn’t get it to stay on.

I put up with mask-induced sore ears throughout the pandemic and figured there was nothing I could do about it.Then I found these on Amazon and figured I'd give them a shot.At first, I couldn't really figure out how to use them properly. The photos on the product page help, but in practice, it was tricky. I tried a few times and gave up and nearly forgot about them.A couple of weeks ago, though, I found one lying around the house and I tried again, and this time the results were much improved. It just takes practice and patience to determine how tight the mask should fit around your nose and mouth, and where the plastic extender strip itself should rest on the back of your head.I usually attach my mask straps to the second hook on each side of the extender, and the extender itself rests behind and below my ears; basically just above my neck.Now I use the extender regularly and my ear discomfort has pretty much disappeared. I highly recommend these if you can give them a few tries before tossing them aside.

Since I still need to wear masks in office 8+ hours per day, I thought these would be helpful at relieving the pressure on the backs of my ears. What I've experienced over the past week of use is that the design, while simple and cheap, more or less just shifts the pressure and doesn't offer much relief.1. The length of the device is about 1 1/2" behind each ear (this will vary depending on the size of your head), which means the bands on the mask need to stretch further to reach the device. This adds tension to the elastic and pulls the front of the mask into the face harder. I've found that extra pressure on the nose VERY bothersome. It's very uncomfortable to have your nose smooshed down like that.2. The design SHOULD sit behind the ears but instead it slides down the curve of the skill to rest at the top of the neck, pulling the mask bands downward and digging into the tops of the ears. Along with the extra tension from the bands, this is not what I was hoping for.Overall, it's a fine idea but has poor execution. I imagine if you're a child or petite and have a smaller head, it might not be so problematic, but as a 6' tall grown man, these are just making the situation worse.

I wear hearing aids, and the elastic loop on a face masks often pulls an aid out of place, sometimes entirely out of my ear. I could lose a hearing aid if I remove a mask in a busy public place. I certainly can't hear an aid hit the ground. These bands eliminate the problem altogether, and make wearing a mask a lot more comfortable.One improvement I'd like is a way to attach the band to one loop of the mask "permanently," so that I only have to hook up the second loop of the mask; that way, I'd know right away "which end is up" on the mask, and putting it back on would be quicker and easier.
