Yes you can reuse "disposable" masks.

Useful info thread... you can re use "disposable" masks. I have been doing so, but I am now going to really reuse them and rotate, as the environmental aspect of throwing them away had been bugging me.

I have used washable cloth masks a heck of a lot, but with omicron and a lot of high risk situations (such as flying or the occasional gig in Norway) I use ffp3s.

Full thread here. Check it out!

Yes you can reuse your mask, see thread link below.

I've been reusing FFP2 masks too. Trying to find a compromise between protecting myself and caring about the environment. Going to check the thread. Thank you!

Read the thread. Ha, turns out I've been doing it right, yay. I alternate N95 masks and hang them out to dry between uses. I throw them when they no longer seal perfectly around my face, which usually happens before clogging.

Glad to hear I've been doing it right (rotating my FFP2 masks).
