There are tons of options nowadays when it comes to face masks, from disposables to KN95s to fun cloth numbers. However, many masks are one-size-fits all — and if you are more, um, cranially well-endowed, well, that's not going to cut it.
In other words: If you've been blessed with a big head (bonus points if you also have a bushy beard!), the last thing you want is a mask that slides off your nose, chafes against the back of your ears or feels too tight around the chin and mouth. Have no fear — companies far and wide have heard the pleas for larger masks and are now thinking big(ger), with a slew of XL and XXL options.
We found Amazon's No. 1 bestselling extra-large face mask, with a whopping 74,000 five-star reviews, and this tailor-made XXL face mask that measures 11 inches wide.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended wearing a face mask in public settings, events and gatherings for quite some time now. While face mask mandates in certain scenarios are starting to relax due to vaccinations and new learnings, chances are you still want to wear a mask in large gatherings and mixed company — so finding one that fits well is key.
We've rounded up some of the best face masks for supersized skulls below. Head on down!

"These masks are wonderful," says a fan. "My father needed extra large masks, but no matter where we ordered or bought from, the masks were always too small for him.... Then I found this shop and everything changed! I loved how the seller modeled his masks to show the difference between the masks he made vs the standard ones.... That showed me he truly got the difficulty, and also that his masks were truly extra large... If you or a loved one needs extra large masks, I strongly advise you to buy them at this shop, you will not be disappointed!"

"This mask was an absolute hit. My extended family did a secret Santa mask swap this year. I drew my cousin’s husband, who has a big, thick long beard that would make ZZ Top acknowledge him as a sharp-dressed man. He loves it!" one happy reviewer said. "He said that it’s the first time he’s been able to wear a mask comfortably. It doesn’t pull on his ears, it doesn’t crush down his beard and make his face itch, and he doesn’t have to feel self-conscious about creases or straggling hairs when he takes it off..."
