What are ear savers?
Ever since COVID, face masks have become a part of our lives. We wear them most of our time outside at work or schools. They usually come in a standard size, which means they are not Adjustable and most of us experience pain around our ears and sometimes lower head. Thanks to Ear savers (also known as mask straps and mask extenders), they extend the length of your mask’s ear loop around your neck for converting into a headband face mask, as a result you will feel no pains and they make it comfortable to wear the mask for long periods of time.

Best options

Because they are made of silicone, strap holder ear savers can be stretched and fit easily around your neck. You can pick to position your mask loop using the hook. They come in a variety of colors and are also stylish.
Velcro Bands
Velcro Band ear savers, on the other hand, are wider for a more comfortable fit. Simply insert your mask loops into the band and secure them. The benefit about wearing a band is that you can hang your mask around your neck when eating or when you need to take a break from wearing it. The Velcro band ear savers are normally available in subtle dark colors like black or dark blue, making them difficult to notice while also being exceptionally comfortable to wear.
Silicone Ear-hooks
These ear savers have recently gained popularity due to their low cost and ease of replacement. Ear-hooks are the best option if you’re mostly concerned about irritation around your ears when wearing a mask. They cling to your masks, allowing you to use them as intended without causing irritation. They’re made of silicone and are available in vibrant colors.
