NIOSH Approved N95 Face Masks Particulate Respirators, Pack of 25 N95 Masks, Individually Wrapped, Black

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this mask. I am super-fussy about most things (my nickname is "princess and the pea" haha). I am also super-sensative about smells, discomfort, etc. This mask is SO comfortable whether you wear as instructed (head bands) or use the hack I am going to share.Let me start by saying that I am a high-risk cancer patient with CKD and I must avoid COVID at all costs. I also have high-risk elderly parents that I want to protect. So a tight seal around my nose and mouth is critical. The common paper surgical masks do not offer the seal that will protect me or others.This mask is COMFORTABLE. It is light but sturdy, folds flat, but not flimsy, individually wrapped so I can carry spares for myself or to share others when needed.I wondered what the green clips were for and almost didn't order because I thought they were ugly. (White clip option would be amazing). But once I received I had an ah-ha moment. The clips allow you to adjust the elastic length to your head, a rare feature not found in many other masks.I go to the salon for a weekly blow-out because I can no longer style my own long hair and refuse to cut it off! But authentic N95 masks use headbands, not ear loops (if you have an N95 mask with earloops it is said to be counterfeit, as NIOSH will not approve them with earloops,). Obviously head staps do not work when getting salon services, and I needed a way to wear an N95 mask and still optimize my protection. I need to be able to take down the earloops while getting shampooed and hold the mask in place with my hands and then quickly re-secure the ear loops when the sink service is done. And I want NO GAPS!***THE HACK ***Those green clips are amazing! You can detach the elastic and reconfigure the mask to work as an ear loop mask. I have tried this with other masks and it doesn't work because the position of the strap doesn't line up with your ears and the mask pops off. But this mask is different. Because those green clips branch the elastic in 2 slightly different directions, there is no issue aligning to your ears and it STAYS IN PLACE WITH A TIGHT SEAL.My husband is I bio-scientist and he helped me test the seal when using ear loop hack and there was virtually no difference in protection, seal, and coverage.I KNOW I KNOW, this is not how an 95 mask should be worn. But if you have a special circumstance or need a short-term solution for ear loops, this is the ONLY mask I could find that accommodates.Regarding all the reviews that mention a strong chemical odor, I do not experience this, even after just unwrapping. I do smell a very mild paper odor, like a sheet of notebook paper, that dissipates after about 30 seconds.I hope this review helps others!!!

Bought when I moved to a huge city, for in case an epidemic occurred, since we all learned from COVID-19 to be better prepared. I haven’t had to use any and God forbid I need to, but I opened one out of curiosity. The ear pieces are as comfortable as a N95 mask can be while being effective, and I love that they’re all individually wrapped. Won’t speak on anything else tho since I didn’t wear it outside or for an extended period of time.

I liked the fact that it is a well made mask. It fits good. It is a little tight in the face and the straps aren’ t great, but the protection is very good. It’s not that comfortable and it does tend to fog up if you wearing glasses.

I trust these. Not the most comfortable, but not to bad, especially if you need to be at an important meeting and you have a virus. No one near me got sick. If you want to keep safe and IF you wear properly, this is a great choice

Although the restrictions on wearing masks have been lifted in many places, I feel that wearing masks is still more secure. Compared with before, the price of N95 masks has been reduced a lot, so I chose N95 masks. The N95 mask is a headband design, which fits better on the face when worn. However, the kn95 is a mouth-to-ear hanging design that hangs on the ears. After a long time, the ears are squeezed and painful, but the N95 mask does not have this problem!N95 masks have higher requirements and higher protection safety, but they still maintain very good breathability and breathe smoothly. It has an adjustable nose clip design; it fits your nose perfectly and will not let the water vapor in your breath escape, so that it will not fog your glasses.I disassembled a piece of N95 mask and cut it open; the whole mask uses five layers of fabric,2* non-woven cloth, 2* melt-blown fabric, 1* hot air cotton. These materials guarantee good filterability!This high-level mask is especially suitable for going to hospitals, studying, airports and other places where there is a high risk of infection!Therefore I highly recommend it!

These were purchased for my husband and myself for an upcoming trip. The masks fit tight, which is nice, however, the fit for my husbands face is very tight.. the elastic is stretched to the limit.. there is no adjustment available.. my husband is a normal sized male. Not heavy and has a slim face. Just fyi

The bands on this one are more comfortable and it has padding around the nose and behind the metal.

I chose these masks because I wanted black and no ear loops. On the plus side, the elastic head bands are good quality. The mask can be made to fit well. In order to do this, I need to 1) Un-crease the nose wire at the center fold and round it over my finger. Otherwise it's painful. 2) Pinch the chin edge tightly while putting the mask on so that it doesn't split open. With those modifications, I'm getting what I want and need. Will probably order more.
