@texaseve Since 2020 my family has been wearing 3M KN95 masks. The 3M brand KN95 mask is made of the same filter materials as their N95 mask, have head straps (not ear loops like some cheaper brands) and have the same fitting nose piece. For my narrow face the fit is better than the N95. My daughters who are nurses use exactly the same onesn includingat work where blue paper masks are all that are issued outside of sterile or infectious settings.

@sueinmn I like how the KN95 fits, also. My hospital (Methodist Main hospital in San Antonio) issued us N95 masks, several years before Covid and I'm fairly certain that is what they still used if they had enough to go around when Covid hit. I worked on the Women's Surgical Unit, as the charge, and I did do procedures that had to be sterile. I was not required to wear an N95, just the thinner blue & white mask and gowns to do the procedures. I can only speak to my experience. I know that the N95 creates the best seal. Thanks for your reply.
