Which side out is correct to wear a disposable medical mask. Debunking myths.

Admin

In today's article I will tell you which side is correct to wear a disposable medical mask. This question has worried many people over the past months. Personally, I have always worn a mask with the blue side out, respectively white to the face. I didn’t even have a thought to put on this personal care product the other way around. But Recently, information has appeared on the Internet that it is correct to wear a mask just with the white side out. I saw many articles and videos confirming this theory, not only that several of my acquaintances, with the air of connoisseurs, told me that I was wearing the mask incorrectly. I would like to put an end to this issue once and for all and debunk a popular myth!

It got to the point that many people became convinced that if you wear a mask with the blue side to your face, this will show others that they are sick and do not want to infect anyone. This is due to the emerging misinformation that the white side is the filter of the mask, and the blue side protects against bacteria.

In fact, there is no difference in protection from viruses between the sides of the mask! This was officially confirmed by Dr. Alexander Myasnikov, making a special statement on this matter. But still why then is it correct to wear a mask with the white side to the face?

It's simple - white side less allergen and more suitable for contact with the skin of the face. Even from the fastenings of the elastic bands it is clear that the colored side is the outside, otherwise they would start rubbing their face from long wearing.But even if you put on the mask with the white side out, nothing terrible will happen. Moreover, the parties do not report any secret signs about diseases, as it is now fashionable to think. Now we know exactly how to put on the mask correctly and what to answer if they say that you put it on incorrectly.
