Disney movies and cartoons have been present in everybody’s life since the 1930s. These movies have become a standard of quality, good story, and a good message that many of us have carried into life and different experiences.
Not to mention that many of us have even cried during some of the Disney movies… Regardless of whether you’re a teenager or an adult, you cannot deny the impact Disney movies and cartoons had and still have on our lives.

Our Favorite Disney Movies and Face Masks Inspired by Them!
Mickey Mouse and Co. Face Masks

Donald Duck and Co. Face Masks
Just like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck also has a very special place in all of our hearts. This hot-headed duck, who often got himself into some unfortunate situations, made generations of youngsters and adults laugh. His quick temper, but also a heart of gold made us all love him and enjoy the adventures of the Duck family.
Just like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck has a special appearance, as his yellow beak contrasts very well against his blue outfit. Because of this, he makes a perfect design inspiration for a face mask, especially his yellow beak.

Things to Consider Regarding Non-Medical Masks
All of the aforementioned masks are not medical-grade, nor are the designs. Medical-grade masks do not feature such playful patterns and designs; their main purpose is to act as a piece of protective equipment.
However, non-medical grade or cloth masks are allowed for wearing, as they do provide a certain level of protection. But, they are not FDA approved or cleared. Nonetheless, under FDA and EUA, these masks are used as a source control by the general public. As such, the aforementioned masks can be worn by both adults and children.
When buying non-medical grade masks, or when making them on your own, make sure to choose the right materials. Go for 100% cotton or a combination of polyester and cotton. These materials are the most breathable and non-irritating for the skin.
Also, make sure to check the size of the mask and the length of the ear straps. Sometimes the straps can be too large for children, or too small for adults. Opt for masks with adjustable ear straps, and a possible pouch for a filter too. However, this is not a priority with these masks; the filter pouch can just serve as an option fo additional protection.
And finally, make sure to wash your non-medical cloth masks since they’re generally made from washable materials. These masks are reusable and require frequent and regular cleaning and washing. Otherwise, they could act as a secondary transmission source.
