Here’s something we have to talk about right now: inclusivity in crafting pandemic solutions and protective equipment. The Conversation wrote about the stigma that Muslim women face and how donning face masks has been changing people’s perceptions on wearing face coverings such as hijabs, burkas or niqabs. That’s good news that hopefully leads to the conversation of making face masks hijab-friendly.

We’ve all heard and read stories about how the COVID-19 crisis has been more difficult for people living in the margins. Women face threats of violence and harassment, lack access to sanitary products and are burdened with emotional labor. Persons with Disabilities lack access to mobility as well as essential goods and services such as information channels. Additionally, the Duterte administration has implemented COVID-19 policies that have been called anti-poor—from its reluctance to conduct free mass testing to its measures hinging on a pasaway narrative. Another thing that has been overlooked in crisis response is the needs of the Muslim community. How are we helping our Muslim siblings keep safe?

Enter ear savers. These products are usually marketed as a type of face mask that prevents your ears from getting sore, but they also act as hijab-friendly face masks—normal face masks with ear loops are hard to put on for hijabi women. Here’s where you can find (fashionable!) ear savers you can purchase and even donate.

They’re here!! Our handmade masks from organic cotton fabric is now available ❤️. Each mask will come with a filter and an ear saver/ mask accessory. • • This mask accessory is actually quite popular here in Japan. Cos it is not only pretty but is also functional. With this, you can adjust your masks to fit tighter to your face. And what’s even more beautiful is, when not used, it can be worn as a bracelet 😍❤️. • • This hydrangea-cotton pearl combination looks so elegant and perfect in this gray hemp mask. • • What flower would you want us to use as a mask accessory? 😍😁

This hydrangea-cotton and pearl ear saver from Kamila’s 4AM Art is both functional and elegant. And the best part? It doubles as a cute floral bracelet with a circle lock. Try pairing it with their gray hemp mask for a chic contrast.

The shop turns real blossoms into wearable art so if you have a favorite flower, ask their shop for their other designs. Who knows? Maybe this could replace that gloom that’s been wearing you down with a little bloom.
