Assacalynn 50pcs Disposable Face Mask with Wider Elastic Ear Hooks, 3-Layer Safety Mask for Dust, Splashing Liquid Suitable for Adults, Teenagers, Men, Women, Indoor, Outdoor - Black

Value for money but a little large for my face. (Woman’s Small face)

One of the nicer disposable non-sterile, non-surgical 3-ply masks on the market. Not rated, but certainly as effective as at least a level 1 and possibly level 2 given the impermeable outer layer and absorbent inner layers. Most ratings are dubious anyway for disposable masks. Nice to keep around as backup, They will reduce the chance of spreading infection, which is the intended purpose of a mask of this nature. They will also offer some protection from environmental particulates and aerosol. Will they prevent the wearer from contracting a virus, nope but neither will any mask of this design irrespective of its rating or lack thereof. Will they reduce the risk of transmission, yes. They do look nice and are very comfortable, durable and very well made. A rating and certification would be better though. These are actually nicer than many others on the market masquerading as rated level 2 and level 3. Far more effective than a piece of cloth or bandanna. Give the quality of manufacture, I would not be surprised to find that they perform comparably to level 3 for particle and aerosol filtration (cant say for sure, it just wouldn't surprise me to find it was the case) I would purchase these again most likely. I have several other masks and respirators. I may perform filtration, pressure, permeability and resistance tests on them at some point in time, out of curiosity more than anything else. Micro-particle filtration is a bit if a sticky wicket and not as straightforward many people assume. I spent about 20 years working with various extremely hazardous biological and chemical agents in a previous life path before changing fields. These are good masks that lack a rating; at least they're honest and don't false claims. Four Stars - for excellent quality in manufacture, comfort, design and snug fit. Minus one for no International, EU or US rating.

I like that these masks have thick ear loops that don’t pull at your skin. They’re comfortable and breathable while feeling secure and safe. This is my third time buying them! I also appreciate that each box comes with a cute little complimentary bag for carrying masks. I actually didn’t realize til my second box because it’s at the bottom of the box but I LOVE THEM. Check the bottom of the box if you were unaware. It’s very helpful for changing masks throughout the day. Personally, I like changing masks after each meal and the bag fits them perfectly.

We ordered these masks during the pandemic and they are very good masks. The first order each mask was individually wrapped in plastic. The second order came in and the masks were all bunched together and in two sets of bags. No individual wrapped masks so 2 star deduction as it won’t be as sterile as our first order. The masks seem to be the same which is good but disappointing they are not individually wrapped.

The elastic attachment pulls off every time I go to place it on my face. Mask are good. But that part coming apart is a deal breaker.
