The "3D"-ness of it creates a cup-like structure that the cloth mask fits over.

I started doing this cuz I was tired of always wearing a white mask, wanted to wear some colorful cloth ones. Then, after trying a cloth one alone, didnt like how it touched my face. So, put the KN95 under it. Then I realized it's superior protection, so my normal routine now.
