soft [SEP] i like how soft these masks are i would caution you they do have an odor if you are sensitive to odors like i am i highly recommend washing the masks a few times before using them i got them on laundry day so i just put them in with each wash i ran there were four loads and they came out non smelly i dried them in the dryer and they held up well i will buy these again when i am in the market for new masks
