Surgical Masks

Which type and which color?

Cup mask, "traditional tie-on" or "traditional-earloop" ?

Also, what colour? White, green, blue?

I don't see the appeal of any type of mask

During g a recent trip to the er there was a stack of masks in the waiting room. I'm assuming it was to prevent the spread of airborne germs... with that being said I helped myself to a smaller cup style one and the flat style ear loop mask. I couldn't wait to get home to put them on so I wore it on the drive home.

I'm quite fond of the "splash guard type", with plastic screening to cover the eyes. Then again, I quite like the full works when it comes to protective clothing (aprons, masks, goggles etc).

More protection = better as far as I am concerned :-)

Traditional tie on doctor or nurses choice on color!

Prefer earloop, pretty much any color.

Never really played around with them. I think earloop would be best though

I like using the green tie-on masks

Traditional ear-loop masks for me. And I don't know why but the blue ones (sky colored) seems to be the most realistic

Hi.

I prefer to use green tie-on masks. The colour can be different.

Traditional tie or ear loop.... Light blue of course.

I like the traditional tie on, but ear loop is fine and only rarely into the cup style, like blue, green and pink on the female doctors or nurses.

The loops are better in my eyes they are applied quickly and they come in various colors but, the pink one looks really nice on female doctors/nurses/dentists.

The masks with rubber bands are the most convenient but are not considered as good for the operating room because of sterility considerations. The elastic bands ones are useful for office procedures though. They are also useful for keeping smells out of your nose or in examining infectious patients. Also good for making little kids cry. That's s joke of course.

For my current job I wear the ear loop kind almost every day. For "dress-up" play I do have some tie ons.

Tie backs have always been my fav!!! 😃 I have this cloth one I love 😃

Does anyone know where I can find a cloth tie back these days. Everything I have found are disposals which are OK but I like the old traditional look.

Thanks

I like the cheap ear-loop kind, white or light blue. I never cared for masks until recently, now I find them so hot: the mysteriousness of the doctor behind the mask, knowing that treatment is underway.

I have had a fetish for seeing a girl in a mask since I was just beginning to have sexual feelings (and too young to understand them as such). If I were to participate in a medfet exam, which I haven't before, I really have no opinion of what the "doctor/nurse" should wear. I know there are rules on that, and I'd want to see the rules followed. I like authenticity, I guess.

If it were the patient that was masked, which is something I DO have an opinion on, I'd prefer to have her in either a 3M 1860, (which is one of those N95-rated, turquoiseish blue masks that are thick and have two white rubber bands to hold it onto her face) or a 3M 6291 half mask respirator with pink disc-shaped filters (2091) on each side. It's not too common to see the half-mask respirators, but they are widely used for patients at Stanford (I feel like they're starting to use the 3M 7500 series now, with the same filters, but I don't know).

Disposable white mask with tie straps

Surgical masks can be very hot. In a realistic play exam at least in the beginning they can seem a bit out of place. But there are always ways to incorporate them, for example if the patient could potentially have some respiratory symptoms or some transmissible virus. Otherwise I would usually wait to put on a surgical mask until the exam is underway and it can be justified by a requirement for stricter hygiene for some part of the exam or a procedure.

Then, I definitely prefer the traditional tie on type, as it seems more authentic in a medical setting. Light blue is my favorite, but green is also nice. The ones with elastic bands I mostly associate with the need to put them on and of constantly, for example at the dentist. I'm actually not so much into the cup type, I haven't seen those used in medical settings, which is what I like 😃

I would like a surgical mask in rubber with lots of rubber scrubs to go withg it.

Traditional tie on all the way. I guess the color doesn't matter, but I'm into surgical procedures, so of course whatever color the surgical staff chooses is fine with me. I personally prefer the green scrubs and gown, with a white or green mask.

The more clinical, the better! I love a white, tie-on mask, with the eyeshield attached ones number 2 on my list.

My job requires me wear earloop masks and honestly they are not that comfortable, sometimes the loops rub funny at the top and behind my ears. For play I use the tie masks (white color)

One of the first patients I crushed on wore a white tie on mask with her white nightie. Cute.

None.

I've never had a doctor or nurse wear a mask for one of my exams.

Something to add to this conversation: say you are the patient and you have to be masked, or you are the doctor or nurse, and are having the patient mask up (immunosuppression play? Is that a thing?). Do you prefer the traditional hospital masks, or do you like the option of the patient being able to wear one of the new crop of "fashionable" masks available (Vogmask, I Can Breathe, Cambridge Mask, etc.)? It seems like hospitals are very open to patients wearing these now.

I like the ear loop elastic masks so I bought them in real and in pink. I find those are the colors that best coordinate with our gloves.
