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'm in the market for new masks.
