      if you use a paper mask you can just put a bandaid on the bridge of your nose on the top edge of the mask

        Or take a napkin and roll it under the top of your mask to make a little filter

        Or buy a mask with a better wire

        Or wear your glasses like an old timey librarian when it starts to fog

          or swap in a straightened paper-clip for the shitty plastic strip most disposables have that doesn't hold shape.

          Use pliers to straighten a clip and bend over the ends so it doesn't get stabby, cut a slit in an outer layer of the mask-strip-sleeve to slide out the plastic shit and slide in the metal. When shaped well it drastically reduces fogging.

          This also illustrates what a shitty job most masks are doing at retaining aerosols, which are otherwise blowing out past your nose. Between the neck gaiters, bandanas, and badly fitted masks I see everywhere, I think most people's face coverings are nowhere near as effective as they could and should be.

      Try getting masks with rigid metal bands that you can fold around your nose. If you can't find them, get a cloth mask and cut two small slits in the top and thread a piece of metal wire or a paper clip through the slits so it's over-under-over the mask. That will let you mold the mask to the curve of your nose/cheeks, and should help with the fogging problem.

      In addition to all the other good glasses suggestions, you can get anti-fog spray for them. I used the one I had lying around for my snorkeling mask, it cuts down on fogging a lot you just need to re-up occasionally

      I think it's like $10 for a bottle that'll last for years, I've hardly put a dent in mine

      I wear glasses as well, and I tend to go "librarian", with the glasses forward pinching down the mask to avoid fogging. Not the most secure feeling, but it cuts down the fogging.
