New face mask rules in the UK mean that everyone must wear a face covering on public transport. But what if that is difficult for you to do because of a disability or health condition? We explain the new rules around face masks, who is exempt from wearing one and how our face mask exemption
Face mask exemptions: how to ensure you don’t get fined if you’re exempt Read More »
If you have a medical condition or disability that makes it difficult for you to wear a face covering, you can self-certify as being exempt where it is mandatory to wear one (scroll down for more details on who these apply to and where masks are recquired).
To help ensure you feel more comfortable, we’ve created an exemption card for those who have a genuine reason to not wear a mask.
Our mask exemption card comes on a lanyard or badge clip. It is a durable, portable pass that you can wear around your neck or pinned to your coat or top while travelling, in shops and or anywhere you need to.
It provides staff and others around you with immediate and simple-to-understand information regarding your mask exemption.
The bright red lanyard has ‘MASK EXEMPT’ written in white capital letters so it is easy to see. The credit card-sized ID badge further explains your mask exemption as being due to a “disability/health condition”. Both can be shown and read at a safe distance.
There isn’t a legal requirement to wear a lanyard or display any form of exemption, but our card will give you an easy and quick way to convey your medical exemption.
There is also the option to purchase the card with a badge clip instead of a lanyard, which can be worn on shirts, tops or coats.
The pocked-sized design of the card, badge clip and lanyard means it can be stored in your coat or bag making it easy to access and put around your neck or pin to you.
The lanyard is 20mm wide and made of recycled materials. It has a ‘safety break’ clip that detaches in case the lanyard gets caught or tangled. It can also be easily reclosed. The card comes in an open-faced cardholder.
You can choose:
All the face mask exemption cards with lanyards or face mask exemption cards with a badge clip come fully assembled.
NEW: If you need to exercise your exemption to the NHS Covid Pass system, you might want to check out our new “Covid Pass Exemption card“
If you need to lip-read, you might want to try a lip-reading face mask for you and your companion, and our ‘I need to lip-read card’ card.
Please note that although our card gives an easy visual aid to staff of your exemption, as people can self-certify, it’s not an absolute guarantee that you won’t be stopped or asked for more information. We recommend that you also have proof of or information about your condition with you, just in case you are asked for it.
These cards are ONLY designed for people with a GENUINE ‘legitimate or reasonable reason‘ for not wearing a mask, as listed under Government guidelines. If you do not have a valid reason, you’re likely to be fined.
Scroll down below for full information on the new face mask rules, official exemptions and how these might apply to you.
We’re now also selling the face mask exemption cards in bulk. They’re perfect for businesses, organisations, workplaces, schools, colleges and more.

Crafted from modern and stylish fabrics, they are available in several striking designs – including London, New York, Aviation, Rose, Union, Stars and plain orange.
They are easy to sanitise and keep clean and can be washed over-and-over again at 60 degrees. The fabrics used to create these masks are also suitable for tumble drying, meaning you can always have a clean mask to-hand whenever you need it.
The inner lining of each mask is made from a quilting fleece that will help to absorb viral particles you may expel when coughing or sneezing. The outer lining is 100% woven cotton, with a wide, close-fitting design that helps to ensure the whole of the face is covered, including nose, mouth and chin.
These high-quality, reusable face masks have been created by the disabled entrepreneur who invented the quick and easy-to-use EasyTravelseat transfer seat and sling-in-one.
These fabric masks will help to protect others from droplets coughed or sneezed by the wearer, and wearing one is a requirement in some circumstances (scroll down below for more information on the new face covering rules)
The designs available include:

The blackout eye mask market is plagued with cheap, rough and flimsy eye masks that leave you with sores on your face and feeling less refreshed than if you hadn’t worn one at all.
The BlackNight blackout sleep mask offers a luxury, dependable alternative to cheaper sleep masks. With its fully adjustable, soft pile fabric eye pads, the BlackNight provides total darkness without compromising on comfort.
The eye pads can be fitted and adjusted independently for each eye and as such, put no pressure on the eyelids at all. With the eye pads in the correct position for your face, your eyes can be fully open and you would still retain total darkness.
The soft pile elastic and micro velcro headband are fully adjustable, allowing the BlackNight to fit a wide variety of head sizes perfectly. The soft headband material also glides along your pillow, preventing the mask dragging and coming off during deep sleep. Your hair won’t get snagged in it either.
The inner face of the mask is made from an ultra soft napped fabric which provides ultimate comfort against the nose, forehead and temples.
The BlackNight also comes bundled with a black pull string carry bag, so you can take your BlackNight anywhere.
