Unfortunately I need to find new masks. I don’t know if they changed the fit, or I just haven’t noticed for some reason, but I’m realizing the masks I’ve been wearing are too big for my face. I’m in the market for some new masks and I’m wondering what brand/types people have been using (n95s).

    i really like the 3M Aura 9205+ They are the comfiest and actually seal around my nose unlike the black one's like Joe is donning in the comm banner.

      I'm also on the 9205+ train. The only thing I don't like is that the rubber bands wear out and pull on my hair when I take them off. The 9210 uses elastic cloth-like bands which seems less likely to do so.

      unlike the black one's like Joe is donning in the comm banner.

      Any mask that loops around your ears like Joe's mask does is not an N-95 and is probably a KN-95. N-95s will always have 2 horizontal straps that go around your head, not your ears.

      Is there a place to buy these? I can’t find them on the 3m store on Amazon

        I bought some directly from 3M's website: https://3m.com/3M/en_US/p/dc/v101143932

        They make you check a box saying

        I acknowledge these products are for industrial/occupational use only, and not for consumer sale or use, and verify I am an industrial/occupational user.

        but whatever, corporations are people, so we count.

        If you do want to buy from Amazon, the one in the 3M Store is https://amazon.com/dp/B09FM2P1KF

      I use these as well. I went looking for 9206 at Home Depot yesterday but they didn't carry them. Like to give them a shot tho.
