IFM INDIANA FACE MASK N95 Respirator Masks | Box of 25 | NIOSH APPROVED N95 | Made in USA | Particulate Respirator >95% | Individually Wrapped | Universal Fit | Certified Particulate Respirators

I bought these masks, not for any purpose in terms of not getting sick or needing germ protection. I bought them because I am highly allergic to a guinea pig I rescued three years ago. When I rescued him, I only had contact allergies, itchy, watery eyes and hives. I had had this contact allergy for a very long time longer than the time I've him. Fast forward to present day and now interacting with him or cleaning his cage, makes breathing difficult. If I trusted anyone enough who wanted him he would have a new home but I don't so I've been working on a way to be able to clean his cage without needing several hours of recovery time. I had been using cloth masks double layered and it's possible that that would have been fine. Maybe I just took it off too early. Maybe it needed to be washed. I don't know, but I needed something more on one of his last cage cleans and then I thought of these masks. I bought them and they worked like a dream. They are individually wrapped in a small box so they are easy to store. I didn't have any issues other than I wasn't quite sure how to put it on because of the masks I worw during Covid... I'm used to looping over my ears, one loop on the right, one loop on the left, but these ones are like both loops go over your head. So that certainly was a learning curve. They didn't smell funny. They didn't look funny, they didn't feel cheap. I had no problem with them at all and will continue to use them in order to clean my guinea pig cage without needing a rescue inhaler, which I do not have.

When buying American, the quality control can be scary. Not here! The Quality and even more excitingly, Fit is superb and satisfies American-made expectations. (Wish I could have afforded this time to buy directly for their website this time around as I’m not sure how they are making a profit selling on here at this price)

I purchased these NIOSH APPROVED N95 masks about a month ago. I am generally pleased and ordered two more boxes (25 individually wrapped masks a box) just last week. I am waiting for the new purchase to arrive. Overall, I am pleased that these masks are made right here in my home state--Indiana. I have had enough of the Chinese and South Korean masks that take forever to arrive and may or may not be equivalent to an N95 rating. In fact, just about all I previously received through Amazon had ear hooks which I now understand means they cannot be N95s. So this product comes with the two around the head straps necessary for a NIOSH approval. Yeah. The masks appear to be of good quality and they are reasonably comfortable and fit well. Because they do not have a ventilator they do steam my glasses, but that is a problem with most masks I have tried. I have additionally bought masks that are just too small and do not cover my nose and mouth thoroughly. This is not a problem with these NIOSH APPROVED N95s, though. These masks fit quite well. Now, the reason I am giving these masks only four stars: 1) In my experience, the straps may separate from the face masks when tugged as you pull them over the head. At least this has happened to me. It seems they must be secured better during the manufacturing process. 2) Over the month or so since ordering my first box of masks, the price has risen by $8. For two boxes, that is an extra $16. Now the price may still be reasonable, but such price inflation over a short time is surprising. Compared to the price of the many imported mask varieties, the cost of these INDIANA FACE MASK N95s is still reasonable. I also realize that increased demand may have led to manufacturing changes or the addition of more employees. And, yes, the company does deserve to make a profit. I was just a bit shocked when I saw these increases over a month’s time. 3) Shipping time is a little slow although the product does arrive well packed and by courier. 4) The availability of these masks has been going on and off every couple days. I suspect that the popularity of INDIANA FACE MASK N95s may be greater than anticipated and the company is struggling to keep up with demand. I hope the company addresses any production problems shortly because we need good N95 masks that are priced reasonably and are made in the U.S. I suspect we are going to need quality masks for months, maybe years, to come. No doubt I will be returning here again and again to place new orders. That’s likely a good indicator of my overall sentiments which is positive. Consequently, thank you to the manufacturer. Your face masks are appreciated and I wish you all the best.

I have tried nearly a dozen different mask brands to find an N95 that fits my small-ish face comfortably without gaps. My previous favorite brand was Aegle, but they aren’t available anymore, so I’m delighted to have found these. They are maybe even a little more comfy than Aegle. The straps aren’t the strongest, and will occasionally break if you pull too hard on them. But I haven’t found that to be a problem, since I know now not to stretch the straps a ton while putting it on. They’re lightweight but solid. They don’t fog up my glasses as much as other masks. They’re affordable. And unlike other N95s that leave gaps under my chin or above my cheekbones, these actually fit me. Highly recommend, especially if you’ve had trouble with gaps in other masks.

These are very comfortable and made in USA. Hurray!

These masks are individually wrapped and have no lint that sheds or stiff material that doesn’t breath yet is still good for germ control. I use these every time I fly and it has cut my getting sick after every flight to zero. I do cut the straps so they fit over my ears and not my head

I could not obtain a good seal around my nose, and glasses fogged relentlessly indicating a poor fit. There is a nosewire, but it's kinked in the middle, making it uncomfortable and it the bend creates a gap it's difficult to remove. There is minimal material over the nose, and no foam strip. The headbands are an improvement over earloop masks, but that's about it. I recommend the 3M Aura N95, which achieves a much better seal, and uses a foam seal around the nose.

I think these masks are awesome. I have a smallish head and they fit great with a tight seal on my face. I have a lung disease and a well-made and proper fitting mask is essential for my safety. The elastic is good quality as well as the rest of the mask. There is adequate breathing room and there is no strange smell when you open them and first wear them. An added bonus is that they are individually wrapped. I am sold on these masks. Keep up the good work!
