【Pollen Countermeasures】 Is Daiso's 110 yen "Face Shield" usable? I tried it on a walk with my dog.

Walking with my beloved dog, which is essential every day, can be a struggle for many pet owners who are troubled by non-stop sneezing due to the soaring pollen. So, I leveled up my gear with items I got from Daiso. Is it effective?

Pollen sticking to my beloved dog's body dances up in a troubling way.

Our beloved dog looks forward to the daily walks. When it's close to walk time, he eagerly lets us know, "It's almost time for a walk!" As a pet owner, I want to meet that expectation as much as possible, but the pollen issue is what troubles me.

When going for a walk, I equip myself with a hat, glasses, and a mask to face the pollen. However, my beloved dog is afraid of many things, including large dogs and crows, and quickly begs to be carried during our walks. When I lift my dog up, it seems to stir up the pollen, and I often can't stop sneezing.

Does the 110 yen face shield from Daiso work?

When I was thinking, "I need to level up my pollen prevention measures," I found a "face shield (for caps)" at Daiso. While most standard face shields are the type that wrap directly around your head, this one is designed to be added to a cap you already own. I thought it would be perfect to add to my existing gear, so I decided to give it a try.

Price / 110 yen
Size / 40×1.4×20cm

The face shield has clips on both ends that can be attached to the brim of a cap. Since it can be attached to my favorite cap, it helps to reinforce my usual style for protection.

I was a little worried that "the view would be distorted" because of the face shield. While walking, I need to check my dog's feet and the surrounding situation, so visibility is an important point.

However, when I actually put it on, those worries were unnecessary. The visibility was surprisingly clear, with almost no distortion, and I was able to enjoy my walk as usual.

It provides a greater sense of security than my usual gear since it guards over my glasses and mask. There is a suitable space between the shield and my face, so I can breathe comfortably without my vision becoming foggy.

Could it be thanks to this face shield? Even when I carry my dog during walks, I didn't suffer from the sneezing that had troubled me! Just by preventing pollen from gathering around my face, the difference is remarkable. If I can get this level of protection for 110 yen, I wish I had tried it sooner.

By the way, regarding durability, it may look and feel floppy, but surprisingly it’s quite sturdy. While it's not very tough, it seems usable without problems for about 10 times.

Don’t bring pollen attached to your dog into the house

You shouldn’t let your guard down even after coming back from a walk. To prevent bringing pollen into the house, I carefully brush at the entrance. The tool that shines here is the "Cleaning Soft Brush." Since the brush part is made of soft rubber, it catches pollen and shedding hair that sticks to your dog's fur. It is easy to rinse off with water, making it perfect for after-walk grooming.

Finally, after wiping with a shampoo towel, the grooming is complete. This way, I can enter my home feeling refreshed. The two items that I frequently use during walks with my dog are all easily available at Daiso for a low price. If you're struggling with pollen, why not give them a try?
