Out of curiosity, what's the most efficient way to mask? Surely I'm not supposed to just buy disposable N95s in bulk, right? I don't know what the best method is. -- /Goadstool@hexbear.net
Me and my bodycount of 9205s:
So as I was laying bed unable to sleep in I went looking for some stuff.
Found a reddit sub dedicated to masks:
https://old.reddit.com/r/Masks4All/ - And they've got a pretty extensive wiki!
And then found a guy that's been reviewing masks, filters, and air quality meters for a while now.

He's got a bunch of reviews for masks and respirators. Here's some of his reviews for reusable Masks/Respirators.
Flo Mask Review - The Best Everyday Mask? - which I'm currently leaning towards.
Envo Mask Review - N95 Reusable Respirator
ElastoMaskPro Review - The Most Breathable N95 Reusable Respirator?
Also he recently did a write up on Mask for Kids

If you've got more resources, please feel free to share them in the comments, this was just some stuff I saved while tapping around in bed.
Personally, I usually rock the 3m Aura 9205+, occasionally the Aura 9210+, and they're really good about not fogging up my glasses like the over the ear kn95s. However I've also got the narrow rectangle lenses so what sits on the mask is largely just the nose pieces. I'm also getting to a point where I need to shuffle my glasses to the end of my nose in order to read things and the Aura's are the perfect distance to hold my glasses in place.![data-laughing data-laughing](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b6671e8e-7f34-45d6-82d3-509fe8a4d683.png)
Best bet will probably be to buy one or two of a couple types and try them out. If you're looking to get a reusable, buy from amazon or somewhere that you can easily return without issue if it doesn't work for ya.
