I can vouch for this. A bit too tight using earloop, and the mask keeps sliding down my face if use the hook.
3M 1870 in comparison is much more comfortable, and seal better.
so much more expensive though
$2 each is not that bad as mine can endure heavy use for the entire day, or intermittent use for almost a week. (though not recommended). It's the price to pay for.
or intermittent use for almost a week. (though not recommended).
Do you mean its single use only?
@devpress: They’re technically all single use as moisture from breathing would reduce its effectiveness on PM2.5 or less.
For proper multi use you’ll need a respirator with replacement filter pad or can.
@devpress: See below. I got mine from Medshop. You’ll need to pay for delivery the same but there are plenty other useful stuff you can buy together to save on shipping, like hand sanitiser and gloves.
BTW some surgical mask models on N95/P2 also have liquid resistance, great if you’re getting sneezed in the face all the time. Useful during the pandemic but not as much now.
Shame that they dont have click and collect.
+$12 postage….

I found these on ebay a while ago, after breaking a bunch of the straps on the red/blue 3m medical ones - I think having a buzz cut on the back of my head slices the rubber up and makes them fragile. Anyway, these seem to be the same actual kind of mask filter but with elastic straps and they last a lot longer, haven't had a single one expire early from the straps breaking since I got them in june last year. Couldn't find them in australia, only on that US store.
3M Aura series has normal and medical versions (with liquid resistance) with different model numbers across markets. However none of the braided strap version is available in Australia. Likely due to regulations? The design and packaging are practically the same (likely the materials, too).
This one is pretty tight behind the ears and head. Fine if you have a small head/face.
