I've always loved masks for a number of reasons, and the idea of a strapless mask has always felt like something out of reach, but the septum clip is really a very clever idea. I'm curious how sturdy it is, how much motion it can withstand? And now my mind is swimming with other ideas on how a mask could affix, maybe with a bite guard, oh goodness.
Let's do some stress testing!
It stays pretty still during calm, controlled movements such as casual conversation. The wobble becomes more pronounced when I make more erratic movements, though, and when I start to really tilt my head you can tell that it begins to pivot around the point of attachment.
Still, a lot of this is due to the fit of the mask itself! I ended up overtrimming the edges a bit when taking it off the mold, but it still follows the contours of my face way more closely than an earlier iteration of this concept, which turned out super wobbly. I want to keep iterating on this technique to see how good of a fit I can achieve, though!
