wearing masks sucks after you’ve saturated it with your breath moisture but I can understand why a WFH computer touched would have absolutely no understanding of this

yeah i wound up going back to the n95 because i got sick of dealing with puddles of condensation in the half-mask

fat out of shape glasses wearing goon here to say: yes

the straps also kill my loving ears. gonna wear the mask but drat it sucks and im glad i get to avoid it most the time by staying home

this is also why i switched from kn95 to n95, the straps going fully around the head are so much more comfortable than ear loop straps.

Seconded. The only problem is remembering to take my glasses off before removing the mask because I tend to get them tangled and catapult my frames off my head sometimes.

what I don’t quite get about this mask debate is that kn95 and n95 are standards of chinese and american face masks respectively


eg :





those are n95s and they’re excellent masks but there more full on than what most people think of as an n95


neither n95 nor kn95 define a design but a standard, but I suppose if all your n95s are like this and the kn95s are like that then you’re communicating effectively

yeah the half-mask is rough after the first hour.

yeah n95s are way the gently caress more comfortable.

Don't put silica packets in your loving masks, huffing silica dust will kill you

If you have a hard time with condensation go with kn95s and use a round-the-head strap saver, it'll pull it onto your face as tightly as a N95 but you won't get condensation

I've been doing this for two years now and I haven't caught covid

don't sniff silica dust gently caress's sake

for the most part, though, niosh approved n95 respirators exclusively use head straps vs ear loops (there are a couple of notable exceptions but they have additional fastening to make up for it), and the kn95s we get have ear loops

head straps are basically always better in terms of fit, seal, and fogging

the silica packets work better if you crush them up into a fine powder and just sprinkle it inside the mask
