Fantastic resource. Here is another site where 50ish masks are reviewed

(Filtering facepiece respirators, that is. Commedia dell’arte and Noh enthusiasts will have to make their own post.)

Thanks for this. Interested people may already know that Project N95, which was my own trusted source for masks for Little e, is no longer in business, but they do still have a website with links to third party sites where masks that were previously vetted can be purchased: Project N95

I found some good recommendations from this reel.

It was so fun being one of the very few people masked on the Eurostar and UK trains yesterday /s.

This is great! I've been wearing 3M Aura 9205+, which I can just buy at my local Home Depot, pretty much exclusively for a couple years, but I had never found a trustworthy source for the 9210+ with the braided straps instead of the blue rubber bands that snap unexpectedly. Excited to upgrade and also to order some options for my spouse, whose face is too big for the Auras.

Project N95 was a life-saver.

I found Masklab early in the pandemic and have stayed with them. KN95 with art all over? Yes please.

Great resource, thank you! We're flying to visit family in April; it'll be our first flight in 4 years and we're still a little nervous. I've found my perfect N95 fit, but this will be a good source to keep trying for hubby. I'm still masking up whenever I'm in public, especially indoors, though I'm mostly using my 4-layer cotton masks; partly to reduce mask waste, but mostly because after 3 years of iterations, I've got the fit down perfect. Definitely going to use the N95s on the plane, though!
