New Petite-mask-simulator for testing size and as a template for cutting Totobobo mask

by on 2015-12-31

Since its launch, the Totobobo Petite mask has become a favourite among our female customers. This smaller version of our classic mask is softer and specifically designed to fit the unique contours of ladies and children.

In many cases, the Petite fits women perfectly right out of the pack. For children, however, a bit of trimming is often needed to achieve that ideal custom fit. We’ve heard from some parents that customising the Totobobo Petite (TT-02) for smaller children—especially the little ones—can be tricky.

That’s why, after extensive research and customer feedback, we’ve redesigned the Petite Simulator. This downloadable tool allows you to create a full-size paper dummy of the mask. You can use it first to test the size, and then—once the fit is perfect—it serves as a precise template for safely customising the actual Petite mask.

Below is a simple, step-by-step photo guide showing how to assemble and trim the paper simulator, and then use your perfectly sized result as a template to modify the real mask.

Use the paper dummy as a guide, cut the mask with a pair of scissors. (The simple scissor shown in the photo is very good for cutting Totobobo mask)

The final result: a new Petit mask matching the size of your children. You may still need to ReShape the mask to fine tune the seal.
