So much easier.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-helpm-m-wondering-about#post-2265978 Sat, 04 Jun 2022 03:02:44 +0000 Barbara Diane 2265978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenn.

I think it will be easier to breath with just one mask, but now I am looking at the other fabulous beaded items on the site.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Unfrumped</b>, thank you for explaining the difference. It actually relives me, as I had heard that the N95's, worn right, made breathing sooo hard, and that the people treating Covid patients were getting indentations on their face. And therefore, I was worried that I had no protection at all because I was wearing my mask wrong. But OTOH I didn't really want my mask to be that challenging. And of course, the ones I have been wearing are the KN type.Thanks for the correction. And thanks for your work with Tb and other patients. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-helpm-m-wondering-about#post-2265931 Fri, 03 Jun 2022 20:21:12 +0000 unfrumped 2265931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in that most people who tell me they are wearing an N95 mask are actually in KN95 ( or similar). The real medical N95 mask, properly fitted, is rather stifling. I wore them back in the day, working with Tb patients and some other air- borne pathogens and of course the pandemic health care workers have been wearing them for COVID. I would not be able to tolerate one for an extended time at all ! I don’t think the real ones come in colors, but you never know. I agree that some version of KN95 seems best bet and seems more “ natural “, if possible, if it isn’t too garish and goes along with your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-helpm-m-wondering-about#post-2265927 Fri, 03 Jun 2022 19:45:54 +0000 doggeh lover 2265927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.maryfrances.com">http://www.maryfrances.com</a>&nbsp;has beautiful masks, purses, cell phone holders, etc and I've found the several I've gotten over the yrs to be high quality.

Thank you for your responses. I really thought the answer was going to be no, sorry, so this is wonderful and making me smile.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, I hadn't thought of repeating the white elsewhere in my outfits. One of them does have white already in it, and the other I could add white accessories.&nbsp; Or switch out my outfit.</p> <p><b>Chewyspagetti</b>, thanks for the Amazon idea.</p> <p><b>Stagiaire Fash</b>, thanks for the search idea and links.</p> <p><b>Suntiger</b>, thanks for mentioning black ones, and Etsy.</p> <p><b>Kkards</b>, thanks for the information about Masklab and BeHealthy and the links. I especially like that they tested Masklab as it is hard to know which masks are real and which are fakes.</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, thanks for pointing out the classic black and white, and thanks for the wishes. So many weddings we've been invited to turned into tiny family or couple only affairs due to Covid that it is nice to have this one.</p> <p><b>Rachylou</b>, thanks for telling e about Hotodeal and that they were tested.</p> <p>I have so many options now.

They are not the official US N95 and do not do the official required labelling, but I did a lot of searching on masks and watched video reviews where the scientist doctor filmed the testing of masks - and Hotodeal consistently passed and performed well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-helpm-m-wondering-about#post-2265875 Fri, 03 Jun 2022 12:41:19 +0000 Suz 2265875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go with classic white or black assuming it ties into your outfit, but it sounds like there are options out there I'd never considered.
