Are masks still going?

Wondering if it is worth the effort to design masks anymore. Due to my type of designs, I have to create them separately, and especially the premium contour one is pretty nasty to design well. I would sell them as additional byproducts anyway, now that (fortunately) that whole mess is behind us, but if the sales dropped to insignificant levels, it's just not worth the time for earning maybe 50 cents per year.

I haven't sold any in a long time. I still have to wear a mask frequently and I only wear an N95, so I would never shop on Zazzle for one. I know quite a few others who are also required by their doctors to wear masks, and they also only use N95s.

Thank you, you just confirmed my assumptions. Isn't different here, the few masks I see are just normal ones, nothing fancy anymore.

Yeah, when I wear masks now, I opt for KN95s. I haven't worn cloth masks in a long time.

I suspect most people are aware of the studies concerning mask efficacy. The medical facilities in my state are the only places where masks are required, and that's if they're heavily regulated by the government. Even there, the moment no one's looking, the workers drop their masks. (I'm probably going to delete the few I still have on Zazzle.)

Yep. Guess this ship has sailed. I'll probably slap some of the most fitting designs on them without getting myself into big trouble. Just to have some in my inventory for the ones who may want to buy some for gardening or work, whatever.

I still have masks selling in my stores (3-4 per month) ...  I have no idea why lol, but not going to complain about the sales..

Cloth masks aren't as effective, but they are a lot cuter. I would love to be able to coordinate masks. The bright white N95's just aren't wardrobe friendly, but they do save lives. 

I suppose you could always layer cute cloth over the bright white 🙂

I did try that. It just looked dorky. I just hold my head up high and own the mask. Especially when someone mocks me.
