I've been irritated trying to go anywhere and do anything because of the the mask fog. Just trying them on-I'm fogging myself into a frenzy. Thank you, how very simple!
Also something that works is to clean your glasses with shaving cream
It does work
I immediately paused the video to try this. YAHOOOOO!!!!! Thank you so much, it works perfectly!! I am so happy, no more foggy glasses.
@@sarahanthony3820 yes because everyone can afford to spend 100 dollars for each person in their family to have your product
Thanks!
THANKS
Hmmm, mine still fogged up.
So glad this was helpful!
I tried this when I went to the store the other day, and it worked pretty good - no fog on my glasses. Thanks.
I get so frustrated with the fogging up of my glasses so I'll definitely be trying this out!! Thank you from England 👍🏻👍🏻

youll be good to go.... No more fogged up glasses
Thank you so much for this! I'm an optician and patients ask me all day about eliminating the fogging. I haven't found any sprays that truly work so I'm going to pass this tip on !
RainX does nothing.
I'll have to show my bf how to do this. He is essentially blind without glasses and this has been a struggle for him. Thanks for the tip!
I sewed two loops with double fold bias tape about 3 inches apart on the upper inside of mask. Tuck the tissue into the loops to keep the tissue from moving around.
Hi... would you mind sending me a picture? I want
I would be happy to send a couple pics but my computer is in for repairs and I can't figure out how to attach them on my tablet. Do you have any idea how else we could do ? I'm able to attach into my emails with my tablet but I'm not seeing how to do it with my tablet into this site. I wonder if the laptop would work for that when I get it back or if we just can't attach here. 🤔
@@mommy1157 could you do a short video
I'm sorry but there is the same problem with the video. How do I attach it to this chat. When I tried the photos I couldn't find a way to put the photos in the chat.
Thank you.
Makes me wonder how Darth Vader coped. Maybe that's why he was always in such a bad mood, because the eye windows in his helmet kept steaming up.

Mystery solved! :D
Thank you I work in the medical field no one has suggested this I’m trying it and passing along ,thank you so much
If your glasses are fogging, your mask doesn't fit properly (which is the case with so many masks). This is a great tip to make a mask fit better. If your glasses aren't fogging up, that means your breath is being filtered through your mask instead of escaping around the edges. Brilliant.
I'm sewing masks and am going to adapt your idea and add a fabric strip/flap to the inside top and side edges to help with fit. Early in the pandemic, our provincial health officer called on manufacturers to improve their design; they should take your idea and add a strip/flap to the edges of their masks. Quick--get to the patent office!
I'm so glad this popped up on my feed as I've been having issues with my glasses fogging up. Thank you for your easy hack, will definitely try it.
Masks are a muzzle
th-cam.com/video/9MvB5hoIQok/w-d-xo.html
Me too ! I’ll give it a try today 😷
I also do this. I Staple both ends to secure the tissue or napkin. No foggy glasses, guaranteed 👍
This is good. I'm gonna try it tomorrow. Thanks.
I am glad too this popped up I will definitely give this a try because last couple of times I wore my mask can I say that I was looking through a thick fog (lol)
OMGish! This is perfect. I wear glasses all day and when I have to wear the mask, I dreaded it because of the fogging issues. Thank you!
Absolutely I agree 100 %
@@catincanada6289 You're not protecting yourself, you're protecting others from the droplets you shower them (or objects around you) with, whenever you speak.
Especially important if you're asymptomatic or in the days previous to appearance of the first symptoms.
There's no way of knowing if you're infected or not. So the time to be unselfish and put others first is now!
Keep safe.
@@catincanada6289 inform yourself what mask are for. Why does the hospital tell you to wear one if its not healthy? Why do people in Asia wear them all the time other then fashion?Its not like its permanently on your face and thinking its not effective is wrong.
Thank you. This totally works. I stopped wearing my glasses when shopping and then I had a hard time reading labels. This is great!
Like the others said, I've been having this problem for long and didn't know what to do. Until this video came along. I haven't tried it yet, but thanks a million. It should work.
I have to wear a mask at work for 12 hour shifts and just followed your instructions. It actually seems to be working! Thank you! 🙏
Thanks I was wondering what I was doing wrong. thanks for sharing
same here
Thanks for following up and sharing your experience.. As awesome as it sounds, many folks have expressed their gratitude but not many follow ups, if it really worked, if so how long, and does it provide adequate airflow for many hours of physical labor.. By then end of the day, I feel like I'm suffocating. I had just accepted that I didn't need to see that well anyway.
I will try to share my results also.
Oh my Lord ! I can’t believe I didn’t even think of this! Darn stroke took a bit of my creative resourcefulness with it! Lol Thank you seriously!☀️
Thanks so much. I was getting foggy glasses in my car. I was wearing a mask because my elderly mom was in my car.
Thank you for sharing. I was so embarrassed when my glasses began to fog in the store. I will most definitely try this. Have a wonderful day!
Childcare worker here! Thank you so much
Thank you for solving one of the annoying issues of wearing a mask with glasses. Something so simple, falls in the category of "why didn't I think of it".
Oddly enough I figured this out myself several weeks ago. I also keep those pocket-sized packs of Kleenex in my tote bag, so there's always a clean one at hand. I simply fold in half and then fold up from the bottom to make a strip. Works great. I also make sure the bottom of my glasses are resting on the top of the mask, to keep it snug.
Thank you so much for this I wear glasses and hate wearing a mask because they fog which leads to me not seeing while I’m outside. This was perfect thank you !!!!
I'll definitely try this as I'm fed up with the fogging! Thank you for posting this.
I had issues with bits of the tissue edges fluttering up my nostril... and of course I couldn't adjust it because I was out and had been touching surfaces, etc. Also, it's wet and humid where I live and the tissue would get saturated on long walks. So I came up with the idea to cut a thin panty liner into strips. It's super absorbent and has an adhesive back! I can leave it on for a day, maybe 2 before I have to replace the strip.
Good idea I have heard others use a panty liner as a filter in between as well.
I have been making masks since this past spring. Something that I have been using as a nose wire is these coffee bag sealers. It's a double wire. I also have been using this washable felt and wrap that nose wire in and it makes the nose area a bit puffer. It too works as an anti-fogger!! Thanks for sharing!
A BIG thank you! This was so helpful. I am part of a Valet service outside a hospital and I also have to wear those sunglasses that fit over my regular glasses. Both glasses fog up together so I am very grateful for this info. Thank you again for sharing.
I am not sure of your situation and why you have to wear sunglasses that fit over your prescription glasses... however, I lost my prescription sunglasses and was doing the same in a pinch. Then I found a clip-on sunglass piece that fits on the front of my regular glasses, which are plastic. They work great and we’re less than $10. I had previously thought they only worked for metal frames but that isn’t the case. Anyway, doesn’t help with fog but thought it may help with having to wear two pairs at once.
Because the mask is not sealing at the top edge. Hampering air flow IS THE POINT, and the Kleenex improves the seal.
Oh good grief that is so simple! Arrrgh man. I'm that engineer type that always over thinks things and goes way beyond the simple and obvious.
The whole time I have known that it is the hot humid exhale leaking from my mask top... And I have known that it is a matter of correct fit at the top. I spent the last hour searching for the face mask that is designed for eye glass wearers, with special features and/or easily modifiable designs - finally found this and now have my face in palm 😋 turns out that ANY mask will work with this one.
Thanks for taking 15 minutes of your time to put this out there.
My lawyer told me if you wear glasses and a mask you may be entitled to condensation
aaaahhhhhh good one
😂
I'm dying over here! ❤️ 🤣🤣
Lol..sharp
Ha!
Thank you so much, I have shared this with my Bell Ringing community who are now required to wear masks. "Simple solution to a complex problem". Thanks again.
Thank you! This has been driving me nuts, because the fog literally blinds me. I'll definitely be trying this. Now if only our glasses wouldn't fog up when we open the dishwasher, the oven, or when it's super humid out...
They actually make an anti fog spray for your glasses and they work
THANK YOU, I I used this trick yesterday and it worked perfectly, and saved my day!
not only do I have to wear glasses to read ( i wear contacts to see at a distance), i also have to eye shiellds like goggles since i work as a nurse..i am trying this at work tomorrow
Thank you. I was amazed that this actually worked. I have COPD and get winded easily causing me to breathe heavily and fogging up my mask. Now that is all gone.
Love this!! You saved me from all the frustration of wearing a mask when wearing glasses! Thanks for sharing this great tip!!
Thanks for that, lots more people need to know this as it can be very annoying having glasses fog up. Maybe the manufacturers could put some padding in the top of the masks to save having to do this.

Good idea! When it’s above the nose you aren’t breathing in so much tissue dust .
Thank You, what a relief to find something that everyone already has in their homes. My sister and I wear glasses always. But here in Chicago, Illinois we have to wear mask's going into grocery stores, restaurants,libraries etc. Until we get the all clear to not wear them anymore. But give your husband a big hug from me. Who knew there is a cheaper solution. Thanks again, Carolyn Perry
Thanks for sharing I'm a teacher and I have been suffering with the fog in my glasses .Your husband's trick a saviour thanks a million.
You are so welcome.
In the winter,when it's cold,I cover my faces with a scarf. The problem is that my glasses fog up so I will try your idea. Thank you.
I'm going to try, but not sure about the success. I would love to wear a balaclava in winter, but my glasses fog up all the time. We get temperatures of negative twenties and worse; so maybe it's that...
Thank you! This will make life better during these crazy times.
Thank you for explaining! I can’t wait to try this hack. Fogging drives me crazy!!!
Not gonna lie when I watching I thought yall were nuts but sure enough, the damn thing works like a charm thanks a ton
THAT'S SOOOO FUNNNNY LOL LOVE IT
Dude and lady, thank you! I've been desperately searching online for something that would help, and this is the _first_ tip that actually worked. It's not 100% effective, but it works when standing up and moving, and I think maybe with tape or something I can get it to work when sitting down as well. It seems like the only real solution.
Thank you! I have a flight soon and I was stressing over how I was gonna cope with the fog.
Worked exactly as shown on the mask's supplied at work which are those standard, blue paper type ones. Thanks.
Don’t wear a mask or you have a higher chance of getting the plan-demic
Thank you!!! It drives me crazy with the fogging.
Just spent about an hour making a mask (I’m not a sewer, so I wanted it to look relatively decent) only to discover my glasses fogged when wearing it. I was about to throw it out the door in frustration when I found this hack. It worked! Thanks!!
Nice to hear it works for you!
great tip that you gave. Another no fog hack, rub a bar of soap over glasses or bathroom mirror with a light film, not a goopy film. Wipe off the soap without water and glass will clear to where cannot see soap film. Your glasses\mirror will be fog free.
Thanks for this. I remember using masks while attending surgeries. They had a little foam strip beneath the metal strip that you shaped over the bridge of your nose. I suppose it was a similar effect.
I've been trying to figure this out for a while! I wear glasses all the time so this will be fantastic for me!! Thanks for the great advice!
Thank you so much! I was putting my glasses on top of the mask and suffocating myself but this is a much better alternative, lol
Searching for inserts when I came across your video. I was skeptical at first but gave it a try. I am an aircraft instrument technician and my job has me working with multiple people shoulder to shoulder within cramped spaces. Your technique seems to be doing the trick for me. There are times when I have some fog (if I am looking down or chewing gum) and the tissue moves but overall it is working great. If I notice some fog, I readjust the mask and I am good to go. Great solution and saved me money.
Thank you for sharing this. God bless.
Thank you for this. I'm a videographer and wear glasses that I'm constantly taking on and off trying to focus the camera because my glasses are fogging up. I can't wait to try this.
So THAT'S why everyone was hoarding toilet paper..

Hahaha thats so funny!

Thank You!!! I've been asking everyone I see who's wearing glasses with their masks. How they combat "The Fog".
Your husband is a genius. He solved such a common problem that we all suffer.
My problem is not so much fogging, but the moisture buildup within the entire mask itself. It feels like a sauna by 3PM. I have a feeling this simple hack will help throughout the day. Thanks!
You can use any method that stops air from escaping from the top of your mask. If you lower the mask a bit and press the nose piece to fit it will keep the hot exhaled air from escaping and getting under the lens. Surgeons use soap on the lenses to stop fogging during an operation. Wash them with dish soap, rinse and air dry. Works for a couple hours very well. But, as long as air is blocked from escaping the top of the mask you won't have fogging. It's never a good idea to have anything too moist inside the mask/skin. Bacteria likes moisture. I bought a bag of self stick nose wires on Amazon and use 2 end to end on my masks to make a complete seal at the top. Works well for gaiter style masks too.
I love this, thank you for sharing, I had that issue too, I couldn't see out of my glasses-wearing a mask!
Simply place a tiny dab of shaving cream on each side of each lens, then buff in with a soft cloth. Your glasses will never mist up again. It works.
I tried this and it worked for about 5 minutes
@@susanfritts1269 Try a potato.
Good old fashioned toothpaste on BOTH sides and polished up with a soft cloth does the same thing - hint try it with your bathroom mirror and you will never have a fogged up mirror after your shower/bath again !
Thx Jan and your husband for this easy hack not to fog up your 🤓 glasses!! Greatly appreciated!
Just watched the Jan Howell "no fog" face mask video, & it made great sense to me!! Thank u to Jan's husband for showing & demo-ing how to make any facemask fog proof, for folks who wear glasses. I'll be doing that little trick. Terrific idea!!
Thank you 🙏,perhaps you won’t realise how your tutorial is saving thousands of lives,just came by to say thank you for giving me clear vision to work wholeheartedly.
This was SOOOOO incredibly helpful! The struggle was very real! Thank you!
Well thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️ This is such a problem for me when I wear glasses with masks. I wear both contacts and (glasses, sometimes). Blessings to you both!
Thank you. My mask has been irritating me because of my glasses.
Sounds like a great idea. The problem with it is that toilet paper and facial tissue disintegrate terribly. Perhaps 1/4 sheet of paper towel would be longer lasting and just as effective once moisture gets in. Worth a try. I'm, thinking a piece of cotton might be good too. Thanks for the idea.
I tried it and it works. Using the tissue/toilet paper on the top edge. I need to try it while on a walk. That will be the real test.
So helpful, my workplace is starting to return to work and I’ll need to wear a mask all day. This will make things much easier for me!
You should not wear a mask all day. You are breathing in carbon dioxide. You can become light headed and confused. Oh, forget sounds like you already are.🤗
My husband needs to see this tutorial. Thank you!
Now I can wear my mask without lifting up the bottom to release the humidity.
It's true-- I sewed (poorly) a thick cotton gasket/ridge to a chiffon/cotton combo, and it's made it a no-fog deal.
I'm in the laundromat and I used a a piece of bounty towel. And boom it works ....you the man thanks, now I can bring my book,, no fog 😀
Perfect .. I was just having that problem.. Now I’m gonna fix it with your remedy. Thank you.
My glasses fogged so bad that I got disoriented (also due to wearing a mask), that I ran into a concrete pull at a home improvement store. I hope this tip helps.
I know what you mean, I feel very disoriented, when wearing a mask, As well! What’s up with that?
@@itiswhatitis2671 you're breathing in too much carbon dioxide. You need to move mask and breathe fresh air for a minute or 2. Hope this helps 😊

Really helped, ty. I am wearing a respirator, rubber seal, because we had them for woodworking. But the seal gets sweaty. Trying it out at the store today.
Reporting back. The tissues I added inside the rubber seal of the respirator made a huge difference both in the quality of the air and in the rubber seal getting damp. Thanks! Shared this with friends.
My second time of writing - first version "vanished" from the screen as sent it!!! However, I really believe it is worth rewriting it!! So, I like the tissue suggestion - easy, so simple and inexpensive. I have also discovered another method that works really well if your mask has a nose wire/bridge. it goes like this; Put on your mask, bend the nose wire into shape on your nose and then "tuck" the top edge of your mask under the frame of your glasses - a tiny overlap is all that you need. You'll find the best way to suit your individual face! I find it works even better if I move the glasses ever so slightly lower on my nose - the way they often slip down anyhow but you may not need to do that at all. Hope this helps!
Omg, thank you, thank you, thank you! What a nightmare it has been wearing a mask with glasses (I'm waiting for my contacts to be made) so I was looking to buy a new mask for glasses wearers, you just saved me money!
This is awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I've been having the same issue, and it is frustrating.
Fantastic! Fogging drives me nuts and I can't hardly see without my glasses.
Thanks for the video guys!
twitchster77 just don’t wear a mask while your driving
But I noticed that he put his glasses down a little on the mask which makes sure that your breath does not go up on the glasses. This is how I make sure my glasses do not fog up.
It’s really not necessary though. I’ve been sitting here for 10 minutes on my computer to test this and it works perfectly. I don’t even have the metal bridge piece on the mask I’m wearing and despite the leakage - no fog!
Yep i do that also
But after the initial few minutes, as the tissue paper gathers more moisture, it becomes more efficient, and you can place your glasses back to the original level

So happy to see this! Fogged glasses have been driving me crazy! Thanks for the great tip!
Me too!! Taking a walk was just insane!! Instead of enjoying it, I was in a bad mood!!
Thank you for this info. It does work! Finally, Yaaayyee! No more foggy eyeglasses
Wow i can't believe it took me so long to find this. I was extremely frustrated with the mask to the point that I would just go out without glasses and deal with blurry vision if I had to. But this actually worked.
This works great! I sometimes, though rarely, had to scooch my mask down to see what I was purchasing! I found that having the tissue tight around the nose did not work as well has gathering it around the nose. I also taped it into place. I have passed this along to others who wear specs! THANK YOU
Thank you so much! I've been looking for a solution to my glasses fogging up because of masks! My work day will be less stressful now!
This is a great tip, it would also ease the discomfort of the mask rubbing on my face too. I have very sensitive skin and find the edge is 'prickly'. Thanks for sharing.
You both are simply great ! Thanks for the guidance given .
genius! i’ve been looking for different masks to help with lens fog and the answer seems so simple! you sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
OR you can put on the mask, making sure it is about halfway up you nose, put on your glasses, making sure the top edge is under the lower part of your glasses. It takes seconds, doesn't require folding or additional items. Last time I had chemo, the nurses taught me that trick.
Has anyone experienced eye redness from the fog aka hot breath blowing up and out the top of the mask. I wear glasses and it bugs the mess out of me.
Yep look like I’m high or something... 🤨

Sir your a freaking legend. I've been going mental over this issue.
GlipGlop Rick doesn’t work for me . I make masks and have used several, different types of Nose securers. I put a moisture absorber close to nasal holes to catch the expelled moisture. I worked in dentistry and had a lot of experience wearing masks for years, so I was ready for this.
Wish I had looked this up a long time ago! Now the cheapo box of masks I bought months ago actually work! I was going to give them away since the nose wire was completely ineffective. This method not only works but is very comfortable.
