Received my KN95 mask today

[ Edited ]

I had to buy mine.  Whenever I tried to get it through the library or other places, they were all gone.  So I got them through Amazon.  I tried it.  Feels comfortable against the skin. Good thing about them is they don't seem to fog my glasses. I have a small face, & it does seem a tad (or less) big on my face.  But I could adjust it.  After I press the bottom against under my chin, I'm fine. It does not say anything about reusing it.  It's disposable to me.

They can get hot if you have to wear them very long. I always put a lozenge in my mouth before wearing one in a store; keeps my throat from drying out. My glasses don't fog up if I wear them slightly below the nose piece that adjusts.

@Duckncover  Yes!  That's the one thing I love about them.  Thanks for the tip about putting something in your mouth.  I like that they dust proof.

I order from this company as they are made in Arlington, Tx.

They do have over the head straps but you can cut and re-tie to fit over the ears. We use them multiple times. They are rated N95.

I've ordered some to be delivered this weekend.  I'm not going in a grocery store until I get them.  I usually do Wal-Mart pick up but they don't have enough of what I want to make an order worthwhile.

Going to wear them on Monday, as I have to go to the post office (I have to return a QVC package .....shoes) & than to the drug store (which is voluntary with masks, but I still wear it)

This graphic shows why I've preferred a KN95 type mask for several months now. You're more protected against non-mask-wearers. The graphic is pre-omicron. But that also means protection is more important now.

 

How long can I keep using the same N95 respirator mask? Here&#39;s what Bay  Area experts say

I've been wearing the KN95 masks for several months.  The cloth masks used to annoy me by sticking to my face when I breath or talk.  These protrude from my face and are much better.

By any chance did you mean  N95, INSTEAD OF KN95? I ask because KN95 mask have been available for a long time.

They are KN95 and N95.  I have the KN95.  I think those are dust proof....not sure.  Anyway they were both available.  I asked my which to get and he picked the KN95.  I thought they were a new invention, but he said they've been around for a long time. He was familiar with KN95.
