Best N95 mask that’s I’ve tried

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024

I’m a doctor and I’ve used all different brands and styles of N95/N99 masks. The ones that are comfortable are not doing their job, and the ones that are hard and thick are effective, but they are not comfortable. These masks are thick and provide a tight seal because of the adherent material, and because you can mold them to fit your face, and because they have 2 bands that fit around your head. But what really makes them special is that you don’t feel stifled; breathing is comfortable because the masks have a slight duckbill shape which provides a good-sized pocket to breathe. Obviously I don’t love wearing a mask, but when I need to for several hours (like on a long flight), this is the one that is comfortable and makes me feel safe.

Just In Case

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024

If you are someone who still has to or wants to (????‍????WHY) wear a mask, these are IT. They actually SEAL. The flexible metal bridge over the top of your nose is padded, so it’s not uncomfortable. It has 2 straps, instead of those loops, that go around your ears. Which I HATE. I never thought I could experience sore EARS. It’s not like a cup. It has a more “flattened “profile. They’re well made. Actually, quite comfortable to wear. You know, as comfortable as wearing a mask is or can be, for several hours.
In stores, a 3pk can run you about $9-$12. So, this is a GREAT deal.

Yes, they have rubber bands. BUT, I haven't had one break yet! And, very comfortable!

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2022

All true N95s have head loops, not ear loops. I do agree that ear loops can be "easier", but they aren't N95s without head loops!

These masks fit my face well and are very comfortable. The bendable nose piece is padded and helps keep my glasses from fogging up.

Some reviewers complain that the rubber bands are stapled onto the mask. Not once did I have one of the bands fail. I don't get the complaint. Also, the bands are soft and stretchy and work well. I have longish hair and put the bottom band under my hair and ears, then the upper band over my hair and ears, near the crown of my head. It does take a bit of practice to put on, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy peasy! It didn't seem to slip around much and pretty stayed in place. As long as I didn't take it off and put it on every two seconds, I was set. The front of the mask forms sort of a box shape, away from my face. I find this much more comfortable and way better fitting that those accordion-style disposables.

I wore one of these on a flight to Hawaii that included a connection. I didn't removed it once during the 13 hours in airports, on the planes, on the hotel shuttle or even in the hotel until we got to our room. Then, I wore a new one on every trip outside our room. I wasn't going to let Covid ruin my first vacation in two years!

As others have said, the big box they were shipped in left something to be desired; it was very flimsy and not taped well at all. Masks were sticking out of the top and some were stuck to the tape. I'm sure some of the masks escaped along they way. Since I ordered 440 of them, I didn't sit and count how many actually made it.

Would I order them again? You bet! But, hopefully, I have enough to last through this!

Blue Bands break easily.

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2024

The masks are Bona fide 3m and very comfortable. I still wear them for busy stores, etc. I prefer the ones with the white elastic bands but they are 3 times the cost of these—makes you wonder. These bands and thin and break easily. I replaced them with nicer elastic I had purchased for my cotton masks. But the shape of the masks makes them more breathable. I re-use them a few times since I only wear them for short periods of time.

Great Value and Great Fit

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024

What we especially like about the 3M mask is that, in addition to the metal nose strip, there is a foam strip covering the metal strip. This makes the mask a lot more comfortable. We accidentally purchased a knock-off mask and it did not have the foam, it was not comfortable, and it cost twice as much.
Buy the 3M. It is the best.

3M Aura Particulate Face Masks; pack 20; N95; white.
I am a man, 6’ 1” tall, 170lb. My face/head would be considered more of the long, narrow type and usually home to a short beard and mustache. Throughout any given day I wear contacts/prescription glasses, sunglasses and/or safety glasses 99% of the time. I am not a robot, but sometimes wish I was (never trust a robot). Likewise, I am not paid by 3M although I wish I was.
Like many, I have experienced my fair share of masks and there are a few key features that are absolutely necessary if one is to be donned for extended duration due to occupational necessity or government mandate. 3M’s Aura provides all these features making them my choice, my recommendation and my only written review.
*Masks are NIOSH N95 Particulate Respirators which means they have been tested and confirmed to perform to a specific standard. It’s your responsibility to know and understand those standards and what they mean for protecting your health. It’s important to note that adding any prefix to the N95 designation automatically negates these standards. For example, a mask labeled “KN95” is not equal to, or an acceptable substitute for a N95 mask.
*Straps that wrap around the head completely. These masks provide 2 reliable elastic straps that do not use your ears to hold itself securely to your face. There are no special pieces or additional accessories needed to extend the straps completely around the head and neck.
*Each mask is Individually wrapped and sealed in plastic.
*Metal strip of adequate length and fortitude combined with ergonomic design features and a foam gasket provides a leak free seal around the bridge of the nose and cheeks. NO STEAMED UP GLASSES. This may be the most important aspect of all.
*This may sound a bit shallow, but these masks don’t make you look stupid. Not quite sure how else to say it. I only wish they made them in black.
Other features include a chin tab for easy donning and adjustments which is nice particularly if you are sporting a beard or facial piercings. Also handy if you need to pull the mask down often, to speak for example. Each mask stores flat. They are deemed disposable, however at home or in the shop I will often reuse them within reason as they are certainly of sufficient quality to do so. No broken elastic straps or irreparably deformed metal nose strip.
These masks work, and if you wear one long enough you will be able to see discoloration of the material (inside and out) caused by all of the crap being trapped within: a good indicator for any filter doing it’s job. Dig? Word.
3M is an American company with a laundry list of awesome products derived from the creative ingenuity found nowhere else in the world. The 3M Aura mask is no exception. I take comfort and pride in that. Take my advise and spare yourself the foggy glasses. If you have to wear a mask 3M is the way to go.
