Yes! THANK YOU. Those are two of the links I'd seen (and then lost in the sea of tabs that I closed after reading). I'll stick with the one I'm using, because it took me 2 days to figure it out- I don't want to start over. ;^) Besides, I like it- it can take a filter, if you have one, and the single loop allows it to be put on quickly and adjusted to a snug fit just by pulling on the ends of the tie.
I believe the need for children's masks is less acute because children seem unlikely to get severe complications. Not sure why- one dr./scientist article speculated it's because children's immune system is different from adult- it's 'innate', not 'learned'. So a foreign organism gets attacked immediately in a child, but in an adult there's a delay while the immune system learns to recognize it.
I'm sure there are places and people that need children's masks, but far more need adult sizes.
