> avoid touching your face/eyes with your hands

Shameless plug, but since this is a challenge for many people I created a product to help: https://narwallmask.com

Launches tomorrow.

I noticed in your video instruction for doffing (removing) the mask, the lady pulls it up over her face.

I wear a 3M 6800 full-face respirator on airplanes, and the instructions I got were to pull from the back and down when doffing, to avoid possibly spreading virus across the face.

Thanks! That's interesting. You can do that with Narwall too and I do see the advantage.

I generally advise wiping the mask down with an alcohol wipe or equivalent prior to doffing (also servess as a reminder to sanitize one's hands before exposing the face). Perhaps I should include a gif of this too.

Would love feedback from you (or other hn'ers) on the preview of the full website which goes live tomorrow, by the way! http://next.narwallmask.com

Already had a few orders come in through HN, will be shipping those out today.

Really cool. And really cool to see entrepreneurs making those kinds of projects here on HN. Amazing community to be in.
