(125ct Box) Disposable Face Mask Premium Soft Earloop 3-Ply Hypoallergenic Medical Surgical Dental Flu Procedural (125 Count (Pack of 20), Pink)

Upon getting these masks since they have a very attractive price for the quantity I tried them on. I tried to adjust the strip so that the mask is tight against my nose to no avail. The strip gives back up and the masks come off your skin with a considerable space. I'm not talking very little space but a space on both sides of the nose big enough to pull contaminants in. The medical earloops that I use on a daily basis have a much thicker strip that when you pinch it, it really stays close to your nose not fogging my x-ray goggles. Whereas the strips on these masks is very thin. I gave it a 3 star only because upon contacting customer service and explaining my issue with the masks, they willingly gave me a refund for this product. Very good customer service. I guess, if it's not that important to you to have a tight seal then you can use these masks by all means.

A leading grossly underestimate cause of morbidity and death is silicosis. Its role contributing to various lung conditions such as bronchitis and sub-clinical scarring are not reported. " Silicosis si form of occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of crystalline silica dust, and is marked by inflammation and scarring in the form of nodular lesions in the upper lobes of the lungs. It is a type of pneumoconiosis. . . When small silica dust particles are inhaled, they can embed themselves deeply into the tiny alveolar sacs and ducts in the lungs, where oxygen and carbon dioxide gases are exchanged. There, the lungs cannot clear out the dust by mucous or coughing." WikipediaSource for crystals include the dust we inhale when shaking out rugs, sweeping when windy, digging, etc. I put on a mask whenever I am exposed to excess dust for longer than I can hold my breath. I leave the mask in handy places. Like cigarette smoke, the harm is mild but cumulative, and on a western high sugar diet, our healing ability has been compromised.I will be publishing in about a year a book on how excess fructose damages the mitochondria and thereby cause .what has become known as "conditions associated with the western diet." I don't want to add the stress on our lungs from silicone crystals.These masks are cheap, effective for the uses mentioned above. They are worth the money. .

It's different from the image. It's not the gray one and it's so thin that it can't protect yourself from dust.

I had been buying face masks from HD & Lowe’s for general work around the house & yard, they never fit my face quite right & usually resulted in difficulty breathing. These medical face masks fit perfectly and allow sufficient breathing for my yard work. It’s really amazing what a difference these make in making my yard work more tolerable & less taxing. They do a good job of filtering out debris so no coughing, sneezing, and wheezing. I would not recommend for heavy carpentry sanding, though.

This is not a regular mask... they are very thin with almost no filtering. The straps have broken on half of the masks I received. Pay a little more for quality!

I am immune suppressed and have to be diligent about avoiding germ contamination. I buy my masks here all the time. I also use the plastic gloves. I truly think that this is a great idea and saved a lot of chances that could have done me in . You never know what you are around so be smart,proactive to keep well .

I purchased these because they appeared to be a reasonable value compared to in store prices. I could not be more disappointed in the quality of the product. The problem is the strap breaks when I try to put the mask on. The interesting thing is the same connection point is breaking. The problem occurs on almost every other mask.

I bought these to use some others are sick around me. I am immuno compromised so I get sick very easily and it makes me nervous being around others who are sick. I feel more protected wearing these, especially when people are not as courteous as they could be with the spreading of germs. With this pack you get quite a lot of masks at a good price.
