Spring is just around the corner, but it's still high flu season around here. I'm not about to catch the bird flu or gecko flu or albino chinchilla flu -- or whatever we're supposed to panic about next -- but finding the right protection is a challenge. Everyone knows flu shots are only for old people and pig smoochers; I needed some practical way to protect my good health.

I've never liked those surgical-style 'isolation' masks for keeping germs out -- they're too flimsy and papery, and the elastic bands pinch my ears. I figured the 'foam lined cups' and 'adjustable stretch straps' featured in this product would be far more comfortable -- and even better, each bra is two masks in one!

I'm happy to say that the fit is a dream; the straps gently caress my ears, and the cups are so silky smooth I sometimes forget I'm wearing it. And with the right adjustment, the underwire slips right under my chin for a snug fit. After a little experimentation, I found that my nose is about a 36C cup -- you may need to try a couple of sizes to get a proper fit.

My only complaint is that the straps sometimes slip off my ears, so I've gotten in the habit of fastening the hooks behind my head to prevent slippage. But I've never been able to unhook those things without looking, so I can never get it back off. More than once, I've had to sleep in my bra-mask overnight. Other than that -- great product!
