I find the n95 masks to be very, very uncomfortable. They are extremely tight. However, based on the comments I've read herein, I think I'd better tolerate the discomfort and wear the n95 mask.

"....there's the rub" ( Shakespeare 's Hamlet). In the medical setting, the N95 masks must be fitted...as in fight tightly so that air does not come in the side, because it is the mask material that filters the air. Try stretching the straps when mask is new, that helps loosen them. I am half tempted to try the strapless mask sold by Project N95 on the Internet.
