FYI, facemasks, the kind everyone was wearing during lockdown have been reported in a pre-study to have had 0 effect in preventing the spread. And the handling of them increases contact and results in a negative net benefit. I'll post the white paper if I can find it.

Ah right. The one I bought from etsy had a good quality wire in the bit that goes over the nose and was easy to mould over the nose ,could worth a try?

FYI means for your information.
The information the guy was looking for was whether anyone had any spare Royal Mail masks.
It's a simple question.

Check the link ,These Mask are what hospital staff on Covid wards wore in the height of Pandemic.

Buy 2 packs of 20 .
Number each mask ,Store them individually in plastic bag ,wear once then put them back in bag to reuse.
Obviously rotate numbered mask.

Thes are Much better than cheap surgical mask with very high filtration.

Chap at my office came back to work yesterday after being off last week with Covid. He was wearing a blue facemask over his nose and mouth ‘out of consideration for others’.
Then drives a forklift all through his shift with the mask under his chin!
I’m dubious as to whether masks have any benefit. What I can’t understand is how people ‘wearing’ one in the manner described is of any help whatsoever. Why even bother?
