Downgraded mask rating from 4 stars to 1 star.

I just received 3 more masks. About a year ago I bought a blue eye mask. I wanted to buy more but they were unavailable up until recently.  I read the 1 star reviews that stated that the ink bled.  Before washing, I test washed them in the sink. No bleeding so I washed the 3 new masks along with the 'old' blue mask in cold water. The blue mask has been cold water washed multiple times with no problems (but never machine dried).

The new masks self-destructed in the cold water wash. ALL 3 MASKS ARE TOTALLY UNUSABLE. The old blue mask is just fine.

The label on all (old and new) masks say "Lewis N. Clark".

=========================================

ARRGGHHH!  Received replacement mask. I rinsed it by hand in cold water with mild soap. The filler (stuffing) 'melted' and shifted to one side.  It's going back.  Rats!  I really, really wanted another one.  On the bright side, the mask didn't bleed.

========== ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW ========

On my nose, some light creeps in the area next to my nostrils. If I darken the room then most of the light is blocked out.  The amount of light that comes in depends upon the shape of your nose; there's no way of adjusting the contour of the mask bottom.  If you're really, really sensitive to light then these might not work out for you.

The fabric is plush and comfortable but the plushiness is like putting a down comforter on your eyes. If the room is warm, then your eyes will be even warmer but they're great in the winter.

When your eyes are blinking, your lashes may touch the mask which can be annoying.  Of course, once you're asleep then that's not an issue.

The mask strap stays in place on my head.  I had another brand which always slid off.

I've had this pair for over a year and I still use them (when the room is cool) when I want to sleep during the daytime.
