If you’ve worn a face mask for more than an hour at a time, you know how uncomfortable it can get — those loops can dig into your ears and cause headaches and discomfort. For nurses and other essential workers, that bit of discomfort can quickly turn into all-day pain. Now there’s a solution—and it’ll only cost you $16 (was $19).

Simply attach your mask’s ear loops to the buttons on these headbands to comfortably wear your mask. The trendy headbands come in a pack of eight and feature a criss-crossed design that will keep your hair out of your face (and hide any signs of skipping wash days). Over 500 reviewers vouch for their comfort and style — here’s what they have to say:
