NIOSH Approved N95 Mask Particulate Respirators, N95 Face Masks 20 Pack, Individually Wrapped, Universal Fit，Black

I’ve tried so many masks and couldn’t get a seal, but this one is the best so far. Is it convenient? No. Are the over the head elastics easier to use? Nope. Does this seal better than any of those KN 95 masks with ear loops? 100%.I don’t wear these if I’m just running in the store as my ear loop masks are fine for that, but if you’re spending extended time in an enclosed location or in a shoulder to shoulder crowd, these are what you want.The cost isn’t prohibitive. It’s worth it.

These are the best-fitting N95 masks I've ever purchased. The individual wrapping is also beneficial in a dusty environment.

Works aa advertised. Package easy to open

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!!!

Great

This mask has foam nose strip but it is a bit rough and is not very easy to adjust around one's nose. The seal created is fine but not as good as other N95s like the 3m Aura. Comparing this to the 3m Aura this is much less comfortable for its aforementioned nose foam and tight fit. The straps are also a rough fabric

Excellent for chores to reduce air contaminants like dust. Also great for feeding piggies hay which often results in hay dust spread in air when hay is extracted from boxes.

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.
