3M N95 Aura Particulate Respirator 9205+, 10 Pack

Works great! Very breathable, but creates a good seal, so no air gaps. There is soft foam inside the nosepiece, making it super comfortable and more effective. I had to decontaminate a room containing allergens I am highly sensitive to. I never noticed a thing with this mask on! I use them for everything. By far, my favorite face mask.

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.**

No respirator fits everyone, but if this fits you it's incredibly convenient and comfortable. I live with someone who is high risk if they get any kind of respiratory illness, I wear these all day at work and I just forget I even have one on.

It’s my first time using this kind of mask. But wow! It’s such a different fit than the standard masks. (Though it does get hot in here- since your breath can’t get out easily- aka, proof that nothing is getting in easily too!) I find it more comfortable than the regular masks because it doesn’t slip off or move around as much. It’s a snug fit that isn’t overly tight. It leaves space between my mouth and the mask. (They don’t touch) the nose bridge has added comfort padding. It really protects well and keeps out unwanted everything. (I used it during home repair projects)

We are using these masks while we clean our belongings during bioremediation of our home. They fit well and filter out the nasties so I don't react while cleaning. Excellent coverage is provided to our noses and mouths when adjusting the elastic around the backs of our heads. The construction of these masks helps them hold their shape so I don't end up with a sore TMJ from jutting my chin out to keep the seal as I must in other styles. This provides better safety than other styles as well. This style is the most comfortable N95 mask I've used.

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.

PROS : - Mask fits well from nose to under chin - ... which prevents snoring - Tight fit - Excellent quality except for the straps CONS : - Straps are made with flimsy rubbery material that breaks easily and are hard to handle — AWFUL ! - Poor design. The flimsy straps fit around the back of the wearer's head, making it hard to put on and remove. Over-the-ear would be a better choice. - Difficult to breathe when in place. I cut holes in it to use a powered air purifier; one hole for the inlet tube, one for the exhale. I also modified the straps to fit over-the-ear. Like a charm. NOT RECOMMENDED unless you're willing to modify all 10 of them. I do it because of the anti-snore feature (albeit unintended by 3M) and the adaptability to a powered air purifier.

Read the 1 star reviews! I wish I had. As others stated they came loose in a plastic bag. No box or product information. Expiration date on sticker only a few months away. Appear counterfeit. For something you are going to put on your face and breath through I wouldn't chance it.
