Comments about Bucky 40 Blinks Eye Mask:

Great sleep mask design, super light and doesn't touch the eyes/eyelashes. Very easy to sleep with them on.

However, the construction is terrible as another reviewer mentioned: the inner lining becomes detached and flaps around loose. It can be a bit distracting when trying to sleep. If it weren't for this major flaw, this would be a 5 star sleep mask.

Comments about Bucky 40 Blinks Eye Mask:

I bought 1 for me & 1 for my mom & after about 8 months we both started commenting that the fabric on both sides started to peel off the mask. The velcro closure is bulky & uncomfortable. A lot of light comes in around the nose. Not the best one I've encountered.

Comments about Bucky 40 Blinks Eye Mask:

I use night masks every night (unfortunately) so I am well versed in what is out there. I love the shape of this mask - it gives your eyes and lashes some room. But my biggest complaint is that the lining on the inside comes off after not too long - but it doesn't come all of the way off - it stays attached to the elastic bands so it is really just annoying. But since I like the shape and the fact that it blocks the light well, I keep buying new ones. I am on my 3rd or 4th now. I'll keep buying them but I hope that they will fix this defect.

Comments about Bucky 40 Blinks Eye Mask:

I've used the 40 Blinks every night for over 5 years now. I work at a telescope, which means sleeping during the day often, and this mask keeps out even bright sunlight well enough to sleep soundly. I'm always recommending these to my colleagues and friends.

I've only had to replace the mask twice - the first time when the outer material peeled away from the foam (the company replaced it for free) and now the elastic is too stretched out to velcro in a useful position. Hence one star rating off for not lasting forever (but what does?)

A great buy! Great for yourself and gifts too.

Comments about Bucky 40 Blinks Eye Mask:

I bought this in the Dahlia print. The print is definitely cute and the mask covers the eyes well. The fabric is smooth, and you really can open your eyes without brushing your eyelashes on the inside. There's a little space where light can show through around the nose, but that can be fixed with a little arranging. The only reason I give this 4 instead of 5 is because of the elastic. It's just a little too short, so the velcro on the back is exposed.

Comments about Bucky 40 Blinks Eye Mask:

I work overnights and I have used all sorts of masks over the years to help me sleep during the day. This mask is the best I've ever used. It is comfortable, breathable, fits the face nicely, blocks out all light, and is more durable than others. The strap is adjustable, fairly secure, and hasn't stretched out after a couple months of use. I have found no faults with this product and I would strongly recommend it to all.

Comments about Bucky 40 Blinks Eye Mask:

Most masks, even high-quality ones, press on your eyelids while you are wearing them, which drives me crazy. This mask uses soft foam (a bit like the padding in a padded bra) to form a dome over each eye, keeping the mask away from your eyeballs.
As a light-blocker, this mask is about as good as most masks. It doesn't adapt to differently-shaped faces very well, so some light tends to get through around the sides of your nose. I've also found that the strap has a surface that is slightly more grippy on a pillow or sheet than it is on your head. This can make the mask move out of position as you move around while sleeping on your side.

Comments about Bucky 40 Blinks Eye Mask:

I have been using eye masks pretty much every night for the last 3 years to successfully sleep better, so I consider myself an avid masker. I've tried many different types/brands and this is by far the best for comfort AND value. I'm finally done shopping around -- this is the one I'll be using from now on.
