How to Tie a Knot on Your Mask for a Better Fit

Dr. Dana Hawkinson at The University of Kansas Health System demonstrates how to tie a knot on a surgical mask for a better fit on your face using what he calls the "Hot Dog Bun" method.

I'm glad that you demonstrate hand hygiene before you tie a knot on the mask.

[@sophialx7531]

Having a small face o have never able to find a mask that fits perfect which obviously worries me. Thank you so much for the video.

[@bran_moon]

I have this issue also. The smoko inc brand and the jaanuu brands fit my small face :)

Thank you so much for this video. Very easy and informative.

[@stevewood5655]

The biggest benefit other than the fit is how easily you can speak with this one. You don't feel suffocated as well. Very nice trick, I would say.

[@user-cv4kk9oh5b]

Thank you Dr

I do this and the mask I use is also antimicrobial . I have a small face so learning this has been crucial . Triomed brand mask (candian made antimicrobial level 3 surgical mask is what I use)

I tried this with standard surgical masks but sadly my head must be too big, it didn’t work for me. My ears were scrunched all the way forward and the elastics popped off too easily.

[@trickcyclist1]

Which side is supposed to be out and which is in ???

[@coltthestarsheriff3544]

Blue side or green in this case always goes to the front or out. White is the one that goes on our nose and mouth :)

None. Don't wear one. It's all a means of control.

[@crazyprepper5400]

Us it to rubbing one off. Lol

[@rdbare4216]

I can’t make it play…

[@charlesschauer8927]

This is pain in the a** to do..adjusting every time you put it on...

[@johnlindley3201]

Bollocks, these cheap masks are like stopping a fly through a football net.

[@rosalourenco805]

Use two, one on top of the other. That's the recommendation of the portuguese health authorities, since we have been hit hard with the Delta variant.

[@angelamcentee1277]

Now untie the knot in your brain

[@lindsaysmith7825]

so very sad

[@eizlez]

That's not the best way to tie a mask you can still see a gap in your cheeks. You're not protecting your self and other that way!

[@crazyprepper5400]

Mask these nuts

[@malcolmcoles4772]

Easy don’t wear one they don’t work

[@jacquicoetzee2570]

The best fit, is no fit

[@bernierakocevic9538]

But covid particles are 60× smaller than the holes within the fibres of the mask..
Even wearing 5 masks covid can still penetrate.
This guy is a propaganda programmer

[@jeffreysuharto747]

Better than nothing..

[@mannylugz5872]

Oh sure ust dont wear mask. its just propaganda. Take all the virus in. Better than those masks.

[@coltthestarsheriff3544]

It is proven in experiments that surgical masks protect even against particals smaller than corona virus. Go and spread panic somwere else, Rakočeviću, burazeru.
