BoncareKN95 Face Masks 50 Pack, Black, 5-Layer Disposable Face Masks, Breathable and Comfortable

As you may know, KN95 respirators are the Chinese version of N95. How do you know if you are getting a legit one? I’ll detail that below. We’ve tried the Amazon best sellers and they are not all the same. Since I began reviewing KN95s in 2020, prices went up fast after Covid’s second wave hit us here in the U.S. At the time of this review, Boncare is our favorite and we have ordered three times. Read on for a detailed evaluations:BONCARE:These are currently .72 each in a quantity of 50. They do meet the Goldilocks criteria. I’d describe as ever so slightly tight upon first impression but then comfortable. The nose is a little pointy—many like that for comfort, including eyeglass wearers avoiding a foggy face! These are the best of us.HEBILEON:Hebileon is on par with most others. At .70 a mask at the time of this review, If you have a smaller face, you will probably like these. The built quality impresses yet the first one I tried on broke a strap immediately. I’m a guy with a regular sized face. Although may colleagues may disagree, I do not have a big head!YUIKIO:At .65 a mask at the time of this review, Yuikio is on par with most others. If you have a smaller face, you will probably like these. They are thinner than some yet I did pull one apart and there are indeed five layers, as there should be with any KN95. stretched the bands a bit and the tightness. Is a bit improved. Our family also likes that each mask comes individually wrapped.WWDOLL:I thought I had found a winner in WWDOLL at .89 each despite the fact these smell like gas when first putting them on. I reluctantly “tried” to overlook that because the fit was comfy. However, when I started wearing I noticed they were uncomfortably hot. I took a closer look at the mask. The white inner layers are thick and puffy. Imagine a flannel shirt for your face on a warm spring day. Back they went, too.SYNGLO:After trying all the other brands below, at a cost of .95 each the price has gone up dramatically yet they remain a favorite mask. They are the most breathable of any yet encountered. At first I found the earbands too tight for me. Stretching helped and I no longer perceived a problem.HOW DO YOU ARE GETTING TRUE 95% PROTECTION?The CDC has information on which have be NIOSH approved, and which have been rejected for not meeting a 95% filtration threshold. Most brands do not bother to test since but I do find all but one of the brands above worthy yet I worry about the WWDOLL’s odd puffy layers.Of note, no NIOSH certified mask has an ear loop design like these and most other available KN95 masks. The NIOSH certified designs have head bands It’s likely that most brands do not seek out NIOSH certification. That does not mean it is not a good mask, though.Note that some N95 masks have the NIOSH markings right on the mask but none in this style does. In fact, no mask with this type of ear loop qualifies for this marking. This earloop style is also far more practical than the NIOSH headband approved style.CONCLUSION:Hope this too long review has been of some help for you and that all of us will soon be wearing masks FAR less often. From our family to yours, we believe that better times will again return!

If you have a small face, this mask might not be for you. It is ideal for a wider face. Someone with a small or heart shaped face might find it slides up into their eyes.The mask is pretty breathable for being 5 layers. Would definitely recommend.

These are thick, which make me feel safe. The ear loops stretch and fit just fine. I don’t feel suffocated because the actual cup is big enough not to moosh my nose.

I have a small face, and these KN95s fit me snugly, leaving no gaps. Even on me, though, they do pull on my ears a little and occasionally pull off one ear, so they likely wouldn't be suitable for anyone with a large face. These are single-use masks; I've tried to reuse them so that I don't have to buy so many but I found they are likely to tear along the seam with repeat use, so now I use them only once. I would purchase them again. If you are purchasing for an adult with a small face or a kid who is too big for kid masks but too small for most adult masks, these might be a good choice for you.

Dependable

The masks are great and the price is right

The items arrived on time and in perfect condition. The masks seem like many other KN95 masks. No complaints.

This brand is ok. However, I will not order them again. The mask is to loose and keeps going up into my eyes, so I am constantly adjusting it.
