Absolutely urgent UK based request re face masks. Pls help share?

My mask co. is going insolvent (🀯) & they make the only ffp2/n95 mask I have so far been able to find that doesn't spark hellish nerve pain for me.

I need soft material, fishbowl shape, no pointy edges, certified safety. Ear loops preferred but some head bands might be OK? The material the loops/bands are made from really matters, though. They've gotta be soft! Prefer UK/Europe made, for cost.

Pls don't recc US imports without a reasonable UK source to buy - they've been selling for several pounds a mask over here from what I can see! 🀯 😑

Bonus points for the company doing different colours or patterns, that make the whole thing cheerier.

Oh. I have major autism related sensory issues too!

For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm an immunosuppressed, housebound, care reciever. Getting covid isn't an option in my state of health. Colour me terrified by this sudden turn of events!

Side note that will haunt me for all time....

Mask companies are going insolvent IN AN ONGOING Pandemic..?! 😭

First couple yrs of the pandemic I couldn't even SOURCE good masks due to price gouging & ableds stocking up.

Now ableds won't wear masks, so companies are going insolvent! 😭

Either way, people like me pay the price with our health or with our lives.

I can't deal with this world.

There are no words to sum up how tired I am of this fight. πŸ’”

Thank you all for any help you can give! Really appreciate it!

Oh...! Any UK or European companies that do any kind of trial packs of different brands or types, would be especially welcome finds!

Are you interested in tagging the novid group as well? They might have some advice too

haven't heard of them, but it couldn't hurt, presuming they're exactly what they sound like... Zero covid group?? πŸ€”
