I likely haven't worn them as much / worn as many of them as most other people.
I wore a duck-billed N-95 and found it pretty comfortable once I got used to it. Like, I wore it most of the time. Only took it off for a few hours at night. Washed it out. Reused it.
But it's a respirator. It had a wire so I could crack the sides to let air in. I liked that I could adjust whether there was any air flow or not and how much air flow there was. It was surprisingly comfortable through exercise and the like, I thought.
But it looks pretty ridiculous. Quacks like a duck. Quack Quack...
I just ordered some 3 layer cotton - non-spun poly - linen... I can't seem to get many of the ones they sell overseas...
Can't seem to get ones with proper replaceable filters for the middle layer...
Thoughts? Preferences? Likes / dislikes?
I have some surgical ones. I don't much like the way they smell... They smell very plasticy. The dye on the outside smells strange. I suspect they might be toxic.
They are very very small. The government got a cheap deal on them, I think, and made them available to the public in the supermarkets. Particularly in South Auckland where the Pacific Islanders have large faces.
