I had to try so many different n95/kn95 before I found ones that worked well for my face. What masks do you all like and recommend?
My favorites are the Gerson Duckbill and the wellbefore 3d earloop

I usually have a hard time with trifold designs but I really like the Draeger 1950 N95. It feels both more structured and roomier inside to me than any other mask I've tried.

Vertical bifolds with headstraps are often my go-to style for getting a good fit, but I'd love to find them in more cute colors.

One completely different mask I've been wanting to try but haven't yet is the Moldex Airwave N95 - the accordion style is supposed to have lower breathing resistance so I think it'd be good for exercising and the like! I've heard good things about the 4800 series in particular.

I like to use my Flo Mask when I’m not talking and am just out for an errand. I like it for the lower waste it produces for wearing sessions. It’s fairly stiff, so requires your face to remain squishy to keep a good seal.

For long days or extensive socializing indoors, I prefer Makrite N95 head strap respirators. The single, vertical fold gives opportunity to scratch my nose on the inside. Both heads straps are also adjustable!
