NIFCO, a supplier of plastic parts to numerous industries involved in living environments such as housing equipment and home appliances, has released a mask strap designed to be worn without hooking over the ears, while simultaneously improving fit. This product, which can reduce the strain of wearing a mask for extended periods, is available for purchase on the crowdfunding site Makuake until Friday, May 29, 2020.https://www.makuake.com/project/splc03/Shipping is scheduled to take place from June to the end of July.

Wearing a mask all day can cause pain behind the ears, and using earphones can lead to the mask's ear loops tangling with cords, causing various strains. To resolve these issues, NIFCO, a company that handles plastic parts, has introduced a mask strap that allows the mask to be worn without hooking over the ears.

To use, simply hook one end of the strap to the mask's string, then, while wearing the mask, hook the other end of the strap behind your head. The fit can be adjusted by holding the parts and pulling the cord, and it can be loosened by pressing a button. Because it can be worn without hooking over the ears, it provides a comfortable experience with a secure fit, even during long periods of wear or during active use.

This mask strap comes in a pack of two sets and is available in three colors: black, gray, and red. Purchases are being accepted on the crowdfunding site Makuake until Friday, May 29, 2020.
