NIOSH Approved N95 Masks Foldable Particulate Respirators - Box of 20 Item NO.: Benehal - 001

No

stiff and hard to wear.

Use for the pandemic

Overall I was happy with the masks. They are a little tight, and I generally prefer masks that attach around the ears, but I think I will adjust to them.

I love this mask protect you complete nothing bad to say about it...

These are very comfortable to wear and fit very nicely.

Needed N95 masks for doctor’s office.These are a very good value!!

As described

Takes getting used to, but it's way better than having the strap around your ears.

I used it to protect myself from covid 19. It was very comfortable and worth the money.

Light weight. Nose piece must be adjusted frequently to keep glasses from fogging.

Spring 2020 I sewed over a hundred double-thick face-fitting cloth masks (with lots of cool designs, from Pandas to Patriotic prints), donating some and keeping some. They were comfortable and I felt safe. Until Omicron. So I sewed a few 3-layer masks (floral this time)...but then read CDC comments and purchased the Niosh N95 masks for better safety. I am high-risk, as is my husband, so I need the protection. The Niosh masks fit great, I can breath easily in them. The nose clamp is padded. And I feel safer in pubic places because is is a certified, noted brand mask.

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!!!

Love it!

Comfortable and protected

This mask fits so well and eliminates the issues I had with regular surgical masks over 30 years of wearing them all day - bending my ears to side, little fuzzies in my mouth and nose, fibers into my eyes - contacts irritated, sticking to my lips or nose, itching nose & eyes.Was very pleasantly surprised! Masks are individually packaged so can carry one with you and it stays clean. May cost more, but so worth it!

Expensive for what we got

Only issue is (like all masks) harder to breathe.

Use them when indoors around a lot of people

Easier and more comfortable to wear and breathy through these effective masks. I wear Oxygen @ 2 liters per minute. Cloth masks of 2-4 layers of recommended cloth to keep virus, bacteria to penetrate the layers. Historically clinical staff, physicians, a non-clinical staff all required. Those with facial. Masks. some mustaches had a replacement that was Clinically safe for those who required a mask that could meet NIH & CDC guidelines for those who required a N-95 mask for men with facial hair.
