We've been wearing masks for a while. Here are the ones kids find the most comfortable.

By now, we’ve all been wearing masks for more than a year. And for kids ― especially unvaccinated kids ― who have been in school and now summer camp, masks are still very much an every day accessory.

As we stare down another school year of mask-wearing, it’s probably past time to take stock of what the “best” masks are for kids. HuffPost Parents asked our Facebook audience for their kids’ tried and true favorites: the ones that fit, stayed put and didn’t annoy them too much.

See their top picks below.
