Troubleshooting

Mask has a strong latex smell upon opening

Air the mask out in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours before use. The smell is typical of latex products and should dissipate.

Mask feels too tight or uncomfortable

As a one-size item, adjust the positioning on your face. For minor discomfort, it may be possible to carefully stretch the latex slightly in non-critical areas, but do so with extreme caution to avoid tearing.

Latex causing skin irritation

Discontinue use immediately if skin irritation occurs. This mask is made of latex and may not be suitable for individuals with latex allergies. Consider wearing a thin layer of fabric underneath or choosing an alternative accessory.

Mask loses shape or gets creased during storage

Store the mask flat or with minimal pressure, ideally stuffed lightly with tissue paper to maintain its form. Avoid folding or heavy items placed on top of it.
