Also, my sympathies on losing your former job. I deliberately don't share my name or employer here, but came very close to losing my job in same line of work recently (safe now, I think) and have lost many wonderful, passionate, experienced and knowledgeable colleagues recently. 😢 Solidarity & hugs.

No, I thought about it, but not many FloMask wearers in 🇦🇺 and with new tariffs to 🇺🇸, doesn't seem worth it. I can share template and method if you'd like?

After trying, and failing, for 20 minutes to give me an elegant updo for my sister's wedding, the hairdresser declared that my hair is "willful". There's genuine horror in learning that your hair is a rebellious teenager with a mind of it's own that cannot be controlled.

I've done 2 x 26hr plus journeys in a FloMask with SIP valve installed. I used mask tape to secure a cut-to-size extra absorbent wound dressing in the bottom of the mask which worked well to absorb water. No headaches, and no breakouts. PrescientX Breathe also good for all day use with headstraps.

"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice" turns out to be absolute nonsense.

It only bends towards justice if you keep twatting the Nazis so hard, as they pop up, that they are perpetually too afraid to speak.
