"...The science is clear. We do not know when we are sick. If we are sick, then when we speak we are projecting... droplets into the air. Wearing a simple cloth mask stops those droplets in their tracks."

Organic Cotton Face Masks

Jen - featured left - was the first team member to suggest we use our excess fabric to make masks. She also researched the pattern and sewed the first batch of 200.  She's an awesome woman and a key member of etee's production team. Since the Covid-crisis she's been staying home a couple days a week to help with her kids and so this sewing project is one way she can stay involved while this crisis continues.

Proudly Made by etee in North America

Our masks are made by etee in the Greater Toronto Area, so you can rest assured that we adhere to the highest standards of manufacturing, quality and fair treatment for everyone involved.

How Effective are Cotton Masks?

There has been a lot of debate about mask wearing - some scientific and some cultural. The opinions vary depending on the Country of origin, but recently, western experts are starting to embrace the idea of using masks or cloth face coverings. And while N95 'medical' grade masks should be reserved for front line healthcare workers, cotton masks such as these are gaining support in helping to flatten the curve, particularly for people who are sick, but don't have symptoms..

"Writing last month, Adrien Burch, an expert in microbiology at the University of California, noted that "despite hearing that face masks 'don't work,' you probably haven't seen any strong evidence to support that claim. That's because it doesn't exist. In fact, there is evidence of the exact opposite: that masks help prevent infections...."

Based on the research, face masks are much more likely to help than to hurt," according to Burch. "Even if it's just a homemade cloth mask, if you wear it correctly and avoid touching it, the science suggests that it won't hurt you and will most likely reduce your exposure."(CNN, James Griffiths, April 1, 2020)

What's more: "The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is now advising Americans to voluntarily wear a basic cloth or fabric face mask when they go out to help curb the spread...” (Los Angeles Times, April 3, 2020)

New favorites

My partner and I have different face shapes/sizes, but he and I both love them. Comfortable Cotton on the face, good shape with wire at the nose, and adjustable ear loops are great. Ordering more!

Comfortable, organic, good colors!

I have tried many masks. These are the most comfortable and nicest looking. They are organic! I do NOT like masks that are synthetic, have who knows what chemicals in them, and feel weird on my face. THANK YOU for making these.

Matilda

 
Excellent, comfortable mask

Of the various masks I've tried, I like these the best. Good coverage. Fabric is not too hot in DC summertime. Adjustable straps and nosepiece make the fit very comfortable. Also, I just happen to love the colors!

PM2.5 Disposable Mask Filter - Set of 10

PM2.5 Disposable Mask Filter - Set of 10

These filters are the standard for mask filtration - made with activated carbon and non-woven melt-blown filter cloth. After much debate, we decided on a disposable filter in light of our unique health situation. The five-layer filter system is not meant to be reused or washed. To use, insert the PM2.5 filter along the inside of the mask.

NOTE: After much consideration, we have decided to ship these filters in a plastic bag to avoid any contamination.

IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTE: These are non-medical masks and do not provide the same health protection as regulated N95 respirators or surgical masks. Please remember to continue practicing social distancing, washing your hands and refraining from touching your face. Follow the latest advice of the CDC and your own health care professionals regarding the best ways to keep you, your family and friends, and the general public safe.

Questions?

We expect to be able to ship your masks within 1-2 weeks from the date you place your order. We ship all orders in FIFO fashion (First in, First out). This means that the sooner you place your order, the sooner you will receive your masks!

Put the mask on and take it off by holding the elastics. Avoid touching the front of the mask, and avoid touching it while it’s on your face. Insert a filter of your choice (this is optional, but does offer additional protection). Be careful not to touch your eyes, nose, and mouth when removing your mask. If you inserted a disposable filter, be sure to remove it before placing your mask directly in the washing machine, and wash your hands! Hang your mask in a clean, dry place to air dry. Refer to the blog below for more information: https://www.shopetee.com/blogs/news/how-to-properly-wear-a-face-mask

Our masks are made from 100% organic woven cotton, elastic loops, and offer a sewn in pocket for a replaceable filter of your choice. They are reusable and washable, and therefore do not contribute to the global shortage of medical masks, while providing an alternative to single use synthetic masks.

We're still researching the best types of filters to use in a cloth mask. From coffee filters, to blue shop towels, to paper towel - the link below offers some really great suggestions for materials you might already have lying around your house.
