A startup called Redee recently unveiled an eponymous product touted as a “safe-drinking face mask.” The cotton facial covering features a two-layer design and room for the wearer to insert a straw through a covered, unexposed opening.
In a statement shared with Fox News, the company claimed its offering marks a “vast improvement” over other easy-drinking masks on the market that incorporate a hole or zipper on the front, “both which defeat the purpose of a mask.”

"I asked myself a simple question. As masks don’t seem to be going away any time soon, why isn’t there one that allows us to safely drink with it on?” Redee founder Ryan Lee said in a statement. “Masks are mandatory in many states and countries, yet people are taking them off around others to drink or are going thirsty while they’re out.”
