I bought this mask for a bachelorette party that had a "masquerade" theme. I did not like the headband that came with it, but it was very easy to remove the mask from the headband. I just used some elastic to make a stretchy band to hold it in place. It was very comfortable and I was able to wear it all night. The only bad thing I have to say is there was hot glue VERY visible on the front of the mask. I was a little disappointed, but since I spent most of my night in dimly lit places, it wasn't a huge deal.
