great fit on the face!!
Light, clear silicone face bracket, which rests really well on the bridge of the nose. It also extends to a very comfortable place on my chin; this makes for a very secure fit and holds the mask off both my nose and also allows me to talk with ease. So many of the ones offered actually only went to a spot just below the lower lip, which is an awkward fit, and they didn't keep enough of the mask up off my face. So far, it has not mattered which cloth mask I am using, the "cage" is completely covered at the bridge of nose to the bottom of my chin, is secure and does not move, and REALLY makes it much easier to breathe and talk. I am ordering more for friends now.

Helps with mask breathability
I am an essential worker, and as such I spend an uncomfortable length of time during my work day in PPE. I will gladly wear a mask to keep everyone around me safe, but it doesn't mean they're fun to wear! I've tried so many different types of mask and they're all pretty miserable. So when one of my coworkers showed up with one of these mask frames that keeps the fabric off her face, I asked her to send me a link so that I could get some for myself, as I'd never seen this type of product before.I really only needed one or two, but am glad for the extras in this multi-pack as the whole order was inexpensive and I'm able to give the extras to others in my family. These do help quite a lot with breathability: I have a couple of masks that want to glue to your mouth when you inhale while talking, and it almost feels like being waterboarded. These frames keep the fabric at enough of a distance to let me breathe easily while still allowing the edges to touch my face and keep me protected. I also really appreciate the fabric not constantly tickling my nose, especially when a stray cat hair sneaks onto the fabric of my mask and drives me crazy all day!The most dramatic improvement this made for me was my ability to communicate while wearing my mask: before, customers had a hard time understanding me, as the fabric right up against my mouth muffled my voice, but now I find I'm able to speak much more clearly with the frame in place.Those considering purchasing should be aware that these are rigid silicone. While they still bend enough to fit inside a mask filter pocket, they are not soft, rubbery silicone. While it actually fit my face surprisingly well, and even fit under my face shield as well, after several hours I did have a little red indentation (like what you get from the nose pads of glasses) and started to get uncomfortable. This may have been largely because of the pressure of my face shield - which has a little nose bridge to support the weight - pushing the frame into my nose.Basically, these won't magically make mask-wearing super enjoyable or pleasant, but they do still help you from feeling quite so claustrophobic. I found that adding the little adhesive foam strips (like they sell to keep your glasses from fogging up in a mask) on the bridge of the nose in this frame helped a LOT! I wish they would come with a soft silicone pad built in on the nose piece.Depending on the size/shape of your mask, these will also fit inside the filter pocket, which might be more comfortable as well. Since most of my masks are homemade, I'm already thinking of making one with a filter pocket that will fit this just right. The mask I wore to work recently does not have a filter pocket but the frame holds in place just fine between my face and the mask; if you go that route, just keep in mind the edges of the frame may be visible if you tend to wear a smaller mask that isn't "full coverage". Otherwise it's pretty much invisible under the fabric.All in all, I'm very glad I found this product. While it's not perfect, it is an inexpensive way to make wearing a mask all day a little more bearable, and works very well with some adaptations. It can't make you perfectly comfortable, but it can get the fabric off your skin to help with "maskne" (breakouts that some - like me - get on your cheeks/jaws from the fabric constantly in contact with your skin), breathing, and speaking. I will gladly add these to my PPE arsenal and will probably sew them directly into any masks I make going forward, and will re-order from this company if the masks I make become popular.

Game changer!
I tried another style if allegedly Adult sized mask brackets. They were too small and did not help. Hard on customer photos, I decided to try this brand. They are fantastic! Large enough for adults, but still easily concealed behind masks. They are the deepest I could find, giving you the most room possible. They really help appreciate the anxiety wearing marks can cause, and I don’t have the same breathing issues I used to have.

Not for me and blue medical masks
I wear a blue medical mask (not N95) at the hospital every day and it leaves my face feeling grimy. Bought this because my lips sometimes make my mask wet and that gross. Unfortunately this frame is a bit big for the masks I'm given to wear. It leaves a space on either side open. I've got a round but not overly large face. I was avoiding the ones with reviews that said too small. They may work with smaller faces. I haven't tried them with my cloth masks, they may be great. I forgot them at work though, so I will try to edit this when I get a chance.

Large Sized if You’re a Child
Hard plastic, not malleable, small sized. Came in a stapled plactic bag. I put the bracket in a cloth mask and another bracket in a paper mask. Opening my mouth caused the mask to fall below my nose and under my chin because the bracket is so small. Money wasted.

Best brackets I found!
This is the second package of mask brackets I ordered. The first (different seller) were rather small for an, adult, though they work ok for my kids. Most of the brackets I viewed, cths measurements are the se as the ones I already had, that don't work for me. However, THERE brackets ARE GREAT! The plastic is soft and flexible. They fit similarly to a dust mask my husband wears when using his tools. It keeps the cloth mask away from my moth, and I find that it seems easier to breathe with the bracket in place than without it. The bracket also has a nice nose form that is very comfortable and helps keep it in place. Very pleased with these. I will be recommending to my family.

I prefer small frames ... these create too many gaps along edges of mask
I ordered these because I really like using frames with cloth masks. They make the mask more comfortable and it's much easier to speak clearly.This is the third time I've ordered frames, all from different suppliers. I find these to be too large for most of my masks. They cause gaps around the edge of mask and so reduce its effectiveness at protecting from aerosols.Unfortunately, I don't find the size measurements for each brand to be very helpful, as all three that I ordered listed about the same measurements even though these are much bigger. That means you have to try the frame on to see if it's going to fit well.

Make mask comfortable
This works a lot better than I expected, which is why I got a count of 10. I've got a big face and nose, but it still blends well under all my various mask styles. When I breathe and chat, it stops me from sucking on my mask. I could put the chapstick on again. Lips have been so dry in the last few months. I'm still sweating with the silicone under my mask, but it's still more relaxed than before. If you are like me and have to wear a mask during your work shift, I suggest this. It also helped to reduce glass fogging.
