What are the best coronavirus masks?

We use 3M FFP3 with the double head straps (the straps are a pinky red colour). If you have long hair and prefer to wear it down, the double straps don't work too well with that, so I always wear my hair in a pony tail when I'm going to be wearing a mask. We find them comfortable and can get a good fit but I've never had to wear one for more than a few hours.

Between the three of us, in the past four years, none of us has knowingly had Covid.

 

I think the shape & style of mask is greatly dependant on the shape & size of one's face. I have a very wide head and a circular face - to the point i have to wear mens spectacle frames and even the largest ones the arms look stretched.

I wear the biz tec FFP3 (UK equivalent of an N99) overhead with valve if i going anywhere i will be keeping it on a while & dont need to take on/off at all. Its uber comfortable & protects no one else because it has a valve (but given i rarely see anyone or leave the house i the least likely to have it in most places, & since nobody else seems to give a toss about protecting themselves or anyone else, i not too worried - obv that would change if i had symptoms!)

If i need the easy access of ear loops i use the covaflu FFP2 (uk equivalent of N95)

Both these masks fit me like a glove but are loose on many wearers who have smaller overall, or simply more narrow faces. For example the 3M Aura ones are so tight on me that they dig into my face - look like i wearing a childs mask lol! But were brilliant for my carer

 

interesting Nellie, if you dont mind my asking... what brand do you use?
