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

One of the biggest reasons | like these n95 masks for adults is the head strap design. This n95 mask uses head straps instead of ear loops, and that makes a huge difference in how secure it feels. The head straps on these n95 masks are strong and hold the mask firmly in place. They feel a bit tight at first, but that tightness actually helps create a much better seal. With this n95, the mask stays in position and doesn't shift, even when I'm talking, moving around, or wearing it for long hours.

I’ve tried several different brands of n95 masks for adults, and after switching to this n95 mask, I can clearly feel the difference in comfort and breathability.The material on these n95 masks feels softer and more skin-friendly than other brands I’ve used. Some masks start to feel rough after a few hours, but this n95 stays smooth on my skin and doesn’t cause irritation.Breathing is also easier with this n95 mask. I know any n95 will feel more restrictive than a regular mask, but compared to other n95 masks, this one feels less stuffy. I can wear it all day without feeling uncomfortable.

The space between nose bridge and jaw line is smaller than some other brands. They are snug on me. There is a piece of exposed foam that protects the face from the metal nose bridge. It is foam you would expect to find in furniture not exposed in wearables. When worn for over an hr the foam is irritating to the skin and uncomfortable. If you are doing work in the heat and you sweat at all the foam scratches skin. I won’t purchase again. On the plus side, the mask is well made , the interior lining is soft (aside from the foam nose bridge) and the straps are more durable than any other brands I have tried.

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!!!

These masks are not the cheapest, but I think they’re worth the price. Surprisingly, they don’t tell you that it slips over your head as opposed to hooking on your ears. That’s great for me because I wear hearing aids and the ones that hook to your ears don’t work very well for me. So I was pleasantly surprised, but some people might like the description to be more specific. The masks are well-made and it looks like the straps won’t snap very easily since there are little plastic pieces that hold them. The material is a good thickness and the nose clips are comfortable with a small piece of foam covering them. In summary, these are good masks at a reasonable price.

These N95 masks are not the right fit for people who are taller or have an average or above-average head or nose size. I am 6'1", average built and cannot wear these face masks. First, they press way too hard against my nose. If you look at the pictures I have attached, you will see that there is a very steep downward slope at the top of the mask compared to other N95 masks. This makes this Benehal mask very uncomfortable as there is not enough room for my nose. Second, the straps are much too short. The straps, compared to other N95 masks, are clearly made for people with smaller heads. They do not stretch as far as the second N95 mask you see in the picture. Since the mask has an added hard, bendable support on the upper nose part of the mask, this means that the hard ridge pushes into your nose all the time, and you cannot freely move your head when wearing the mask, since the short straps will not allow it. All in all, for me this mask is unwearable, even if I remove the hard plastic nose support.

Great masks which can be worn over and over without falling apart.

I really liked these and will buy again if I ever need them. I had gotten some N95 masks from my local Walmart from a different brand and they had a weird smell and were generally uncomfortable which is why I bought these instead. These are so much more comfortable, don't have a weird chemical smell and fit nice. Would definitely recommend!
