"...so bloody irritating... apart from tape over nose any ideas to stop this??? Best answer wins a prize... go! "
Yes, dip your glasses in warm soapy water, let them dry naturally and hey presto! Well, it doesn't always work, but try anyway |

Your paper masks will always steam your glasses up.
As theyve done that with me like that for years.
Ive got an eclipse p3 face mask now and that dosnt steam up my glasses.
Then again I do also use it building sites as well. |

"Rub a bit of washing up liquid on the inside if your lenses but you cant see then x "
This works.
If you put a tiny bit of washing up liquid on them them rub it in with a cloth it definitely helps with the fogging. |

Check out the products that supposedly stop windows misting up.
A woman I spoke with in a shop the other day had got a mask that let you adjust the fastenings and said it had alleviated the issue for her. |

"Some great ideas here well done ! .I only wear them for reading but it’s a pain and I can see why people are tempted to drop off the nose from time to time! "
Would you be reading the lyrics to the song "Steamy windows" |

A very simple and effective solution with the common blue masks is to twist the ear loops once, into a figure 8 - makes the sides stand out slightly, which reduces the misting effect...
....saw this suggestion made by an NHS doctor who routinely wears one all day every day - so it's a medically-approved one! |

"I have a mask with wire running along the top. This allows me to mold it to my nose/face and prevents a lot of foggy lenses!  "
Some, if not all, of the blue ones have that - works well in conjunction with twisting the loops... |

"Just go out and splash out a few quid on decent masks that don't steam your glasses up.
Pay pennies and you get monkey masks.."
Apparently Vaseline at the bottom rim of the glasses works |

You could always buy the little plastic masks
They a lot better for breathing and people can see what you are saying
We ha e been trying these out at work and a couple of my workmates wear glasses and say they’re a lot better |

I've read reports (which may be bullshit) that the plastic visors are worse than useless so worth checking out. |

What's the prize ?
Buy a mask with a hem all the way round, make a small incision at the end of the hem on the upper edge and insert a pipe cleaner which can be used to squeeze the mask round the bridge of your nose

Wash your glasses in soapy water it leaves a thin residue that helps prevent them misting over
Put your mask on first then glasses so they're not under the top of the mask
Tape a bit of folded up tissue paper along the top of the mask so it traps the moisture

I've tried all different ones and they all steam up my glasses.
Which ones do you specifically recommend? |

Pay peanuts and you get monkey masks..

I've built up a fair amount of FFP3 and FFP2 masks prior and since lockdown.
Try toolstation and screwfix.. they sell pretty fast when they come in stock...but persevere and you will get them.
Ps my original post was late last night before getting my head down...fixed here and hopefully it makes more sense  |
