...or better yet just put a clothespin over the nose and duct/duck (more colorful) tape over your mouth...problem solved...no droplets coming out.

Does anyone know if it would be ok to put a cloth mask over an N95 mask or would you not be able to breathe? A friend just gave me the N95 mask and I had been going to order a cloth mask and still might.  I just thought the cloth one would look nice and since I have the other one now wondered if I could wear both together.

Please heed the posts of @reiki604  & @Jasmine19 

 

They have given you good information.

 

Once this would not have been considered correct, now given how unsupported we have been in the supply of PPE, many health care professionals are covering their N95s.

 

You can spray your N95 mask with Lysol or similar and re-use it.

 

If you have questions about breathing, wear it for a bit around your home.

@CherryHugs I keep my mask on my dash board.  Sunlight for a few days coming into a car is UV cleansing light.

If you N95 has a vent you can wear another mask over it. My doctors will not let anyone in with and N95 with a vent, without another mask over it

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.
