Wow, look at me posting something in the sewing section!
I made these masks for Jim and I to wear to grocery store...the bigger denim one is Jim's.....they all have a liner and because elastic is so hard to come by right now I used......wait for it......old cut up pair of my (clean) undies, just cut the elastic right off and it is perfect width.....desperate times...desperate measures, right? and NO the leopard print is fabric and not my old undies...tee hee!

Glad to know you and hubby are using the beautiful mask you made. I now use the t shirts and use them to tie around my neck. Desperate times makes one innovative 🙃. Be safe and healthy.

Trims on Wheels has elastic. I had an email just a few days ago advertising it. They are a great company. Husband and wife we see every year at our Sewing and Quilt Expo. Dear people!

Love the denim look ones especially. Great resourcefulness during this time. 😉
I save the round elastic that comes with shoes for different projects. I have find that the elastic is uncomfortable on the ears after a while on masks but keeps hair tidy better than ties. Still havent decided which I prefer so have made a few different versions to choose from

I have made "elastic strap extenders" to hold the elastic made to go around the ears in a strap that goes around the back of the head for those who find the elastic around their ears uncomfortable...works great!

Oh my goodness, you folks have me laughing so hard. I never knew the subject of elastic was so funny. BTW, if you don't have suspenders to keep you undies up, try cutting out the elastic from you bottom sheet. Who needs fitted sheets when you need elastic for masks. Or to keep your undies where they belong.
