I prefer my cloth ones for everyday usage but there are times where the disposable ones feel better. I got a haircut back in late August and I wore a disposable one there, we've worn them when we've been outside for an extended time in heat (which this year thankfully wasn't that bad).I bought a few "very nice" cloth masks. No thanks. They are gross. IMO I will stick with disposables.
I wash my cloth ones regularly though, maybe that makes a difference? IDK. I also store mine in a plastic bag (each mask is separated from each other) so when I take it off say for instance at a table it goes in the bag so it doesn't get dirty in that sense.
My in-laws on the other hand use disposable ones but they don't really..dispose of them after every usage (I'd count a day as a usage) and it seems like they use it over and over and they don't have a bag for them, they set them on the table, on the seat, bunched up in their hands. IDK I find that makes me feel gross.
To me with all this mask business is people gotta find what works for them and that's not really easy IMO so I can sympathize with the preferences. The first mask we made for me didn't really work out, the fabric was way too thick. The masks relatives got us were way too big for me (and I knew they would) so I know I can't really get "one size" or "adult size" masks. We did end up getting these metal strips that you just stick onto your cloth ones and that has helped with the nose bridge part.
