(2 pack) 3M N95 Aura Particulate Respirator 9205+, 3 Pack

I have really bad allergies all year long and with the Saharan Dust being so bad this year, I couldn't stand to be outside for more than a few minutes. I have the light blue disposable masks you get at the doctors office but they weren't cutting it, so I got these. They work extremely well and it's actually easier to breathe with these than the thin cloth ones. It's nice having the extra protection against other pollutants and germs too.

I get these for flying because I would get sick every time, and knock on wood but they seem to help a lot! Not to mention they are so much more comfortable than the horrible plastic kind that give you a headache. The double band really helps keep it secure without hurting. I swear by these

These filters fit the face very well because they expand to go around the natural curves of the jaw line. Great for weed whacking and mowing in very dusty conditions. And because they come folded flat, you can stash them anywhere. I keep a few in the car and backpack for wildfire smoke and ash situations.

The mask works great to keep the dust away while cleaning the house, changing the cat box, or sanding in my wood shop. One additional feature of the mask is that it is rated as “N95” to prevent germs from entering your body, such as the cold and flu viruses. I wear this mask regularly when I visit the hospital or attend doctor appointments to avoid becoming ill from someone else. One great design feature of the mask that prevents my eyeglasses from fogging up is the foam strip that’s attached across the top, and it opens up for full-face coverage. The mask also has a bendable wire that conforms to your face nicely for a snug fit while maintaining a suitable level of comfort so you don’t feel like you are suffocating. **I would not recommend using this mask in place of a respirator where the use of toxic chemicals or vaporous substances advises using a respirator.**

I have used this product many times over the past 3-4 years. It has excellent reviews. The masks should arrive in a box for added protection to ensure their effectiveness. This was the first time I ordered from Walmart and the masks arrived in a bag.😕

The mask were not in its original packaging just a resealed plastic bag. That in itself think they are not original, I’ve battled with returning them.

I ordered a 10 pack of masks, and received 10 individual “not for resale”masks in a plastic bag. They are not supposed to be sold this way. Instructions printed on the mask packaging directs you to the instructions on the box for proper use. I've never used this kind of mask before, so it would have been nice to have the instructions.

The listing showed the 3M box packaging of 10 masks/box, which I happen to know includes an expiration date because I have purchased these in local stores. However, these came in clear plastic bags, not 3M boxes. The masks inside the bags look like the real deal, but how can I be sure these aren't a knock off? Since these were not in the 3M product boxes as pictured and normally sold, I cannot help but wonder about the authenticity of the product, how they've been handled, or how old they might be, and for those reasons I will probably return them.

I wanted to try these masks for a painting project I was doing to keep the fumes from getting to my airway. As soon as I opened the package I could tell these masks would be too thick, too tight, and make me feel like I was suffocating. Maybe it's a side-effect of being forced to wear COVID masks, but if the mask is too thick and I can feel my breath on my face, I panic.

THESE ARE COUNTERFEIT MASKS, THEY ARE NOT REAL 3M MASKS! LOOSE MASKS IN A BAG, NO 3M DETAILS, PRINTING ON MASK IS ALL OVER THE PLACE! THESE ARE FAKE MASKS! DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FRAUDULENT SELLER WHO IS SELLING COUNTERFEIT 3M MASKS THROUGH WALMART!! AVOID THIS SELLER AND THEIR FAKE COUNTERFEIT MASKS!!!!
