To order a mask, you will need the following three sizes: A, B, and C.
First, keep your mouth closed and your head straight.
This time, we will measure a woman who is 168 cm tall and has a normal build.

How to measure A

This is the vertical size of the face. Measure from the top of the head (around the whorl) to the tip of the chin.

  1. Place the tape measure at the crown of your head (have someone hold it in place).
  2. Bring the tape measure around your chin, in front of your ears, and back around to your cheeks.

About your child's growth and development

Children grow quickly, so many customers prefer to buy larger sizes.
In that case, we recommend purchasing a face cushion.
A face cushion is something that is placed under the face and can be adjusted to any size.
It also absorbs the impact when hit, making it ideal for children who find it painful to be hit on the face.
If you are considering using a surface cushion, please write this in the comments section.
