Honeywell Surgical N95 Respirator, Safety NIOSH-Approved, 20-pack (DC365N95HC)

Consider any 1-star review about the masks being too tight, not stretchy, and uncomfortable to actually be a positive review because those people are actually describing the qualities of an effective n95 mask that should be present. Duh. Also, the straps are glued because staples make holes in the mask. Again, duh. N95 masks are generally not individually wrapped, so ignore those reviews too. These are good masks at a good price. The straps make them a pain to get on and you have to be careful about not creating a dimple under your nose by pressing too hard during that process unless you like nose tickles.

I've bought these masks many times as I wear masks everyday. The fit is perfect for my face shape. There are no gaps & the nose wire is just an added bonus. They are comfortable and allow enough air through that I can breath easily - yet I feel safe from exposure. The quality is better than any mask I've tried in years. They have kept me well without incident of illness despite being around unwell people for hours at a time. They are reusable, well packaged, and come at a great value. I've bought these masks for my extended family as well. I will be a returning customer for this mask and only this mask as long as they are available. Truly life-changing for someone who had to live so much of their life under a mask.

Very good mask. The one star is for the elastic being to tight for any normal adult. I know N95 should be tight but I tear at least one of these a week just trying to put it on. Then after while of use they tear off on their own. Still a good product but just for smaller adult women or anyone with a small head.

Satisfied

The nose clip is very sharp-edged and in order to get the edges of the mask to be at all snug you have to really have it clamped down. I had to go to a Dr. appt and needed to have a "proper" mask instead of the awesome well-fitting multi-layer cloth one I made for myself. I couldn't wait to rip this thing off my face. It actually hurt after about an hour. Very disappointed given all the other reviews. And of course since I had to open the package to take one out and try it, I cannot return the rest. Also, they are very small, both from side to side and top to bottom. I actually am somewhat of a pinhead, wear a small hat, etc. - I don't have a big head or face. I can get this mask on but it pops off either my chin or my nose almost immediately when I have to open my mouth to speak. And a yawn? Forget about it - it comes right off. Therefore, wearing one of these you will be constantly touching it and fiddling with it to put it back on. While it may well be a better filter when it's on, all those times that it falls off and you still have to breathe make me think that on average you'd be better with multi-layer snugly fitting larger fabric mask that at least stays in place. I expected more for the money.

These run very small, & fit very snugly. The elastic gets caught in my hair. Unpleasant texture against the face, which it will touch, because they're so small. Not as breathable as I prefer. A yawn will unseat them. But, they keep my glasses on, & they've done the job of keeping me healthy despite riding the bus.

Very comfortable masks. They fit very snugley and I think they make a good seal

Use a USA & N 95 mask. Then use would is approved for surgeons.
