5 Layer Breathable Cotton Face Mask with Filter – Reusable Black Face Masks Washable Uk with Adjustable Ear Straps, Nose Wire & Replaceable Filters for Unisex

Exactly what was needed. Adjustable and easy to wear.

Bought my first one in Feb 2020 and used it throughout the long covid required period. Washable, durable and with replaceable filter paper liners. The valve reduces fogging of glasses. Just bought another one - elastic ear loops only last so long!

Sent 3 sealed masks and one loose that had clearly been worn and was stained and had an eyelash on it (grim). For some reason seller also sent me a pack with hairdressing scissors and a comb.Happy with the sealed products which were as ordered. Unhappy about the rest.

I ordered these masks because they were similar to one my wife was given and she found it very good. I ordered three, one for me, one for my daughter and a back up for the one my wife was given. The masks arrived before the expected delivery date but minus the six filters per mask. I contacted the seller requesting the filters. A generous quantity of filters arrived about a week later. Fortunately, in the meantime, my daughter and I were using the spare filters that came with my wife's donated mask. Had we not had those available, it would have been very inconvenient.When I first wore the mask, I did not find it particularly comfortable. I wear glasses and I found the straps round my ears irritating, wearing the mask with my glasses. It was better after slackening off the straps and the irritation wore off after a few outings wearing the mask.My wife solved the problem of expelled breath steaming up her glasses by laying a folded tissue along the top of her mask as she put it on. My attempt was partially successful. I found that resting the glasses on the nose part of the mask solved that problem but it was difficult to make the mask stay in the raised position - it tended to slip down, probably because it was too high to fit snugly round my chin, hampered to some extent by my beard.On the whole, the mask is fine once you get used to it and probably a lot better if you're clean-shaven. It has the advantage of being washable and the filters can be easily replaced after their end of life (around 72 hours use, I believe). This cuts down on waste.If you are of a large build and/or have a beard, a mask with two elasticated straps fitting behind the head, one at the top and one at the bottom would probably be more comfortable. I wear such a mask when decorating. It fits alright, even with a beard, but my glasses still steam up!!

best masks we bought

I'm following the science!Science states that, with what we know now, face masks/covering work in slowing the infection rate.N.B. The above statement is dependent on using mitigating factors along with mask wearing.I have tried multiple masks (incl. surgical masks) since "things" started going insane and I "believe" that this mask HELPS!It is reasonably comfortable (as much as a mask can be anyway & I have a large nose) and the fact that it is washable and you can change out the "filter" is a MAJOR PLUS for me.Extra filters can be purchased.It has a "breathing valve" that does help to mitigate wearing the mask with glasses (i.e. fogging up) but does not entirely resolve this issue.I make no gaurantees but I'm happy with this purchase and wear it when in public when other people are "near" and in ALL enlosed public/private spaces except for my home.Physical distance, washing hands AND mask wearing are the ONLY tools we have at the moment and I have no issue with recommending this mask.

Hadn't realised that Easyjet will reject them as they have a ventilation grill. I can't see what the issue is with that as they do have a filter insert- but you need to be aware of the rule. Had to buy a non ventilated mask at the airport in order to be allowed on the plane!

Considering this product is sold for hygiene purposes it was extremely disappointing to receive a packet that had been previously opened. I am assuming it had been returned and was just put back on the shelf. The reason was clear - one of the fabric masks had a rip at the seam where the disposable filter is inserted. I could send it back but as I am quite capable with a needle and thread I have mended it myself, the mask is now perfectly usable. But I shouldn't have had to repair a "new" item nor should I have been sent a package that had clearly been cut open already. So very poor show on that front. That aside, the masks are fine in design and should now perform well. They are not huge but fine if you have an average size face, they are made from what looks like polycotton, lined and with a flap behind which you insert a filter. There is a bendable nose strip and elasticated toggles to fit around the ears. Comfortable for prolonged wear and robust enough (now mended) to cope with multiple washings. Just to clear, these are labelled as anti-pollution masks on the packaging not surgical or medical masks if that matters to you.
