HALYARD FLUIDSHIELD N95 Respirators, ASTM Level 3 Face Mask, Small Size, Orange, 46827 (Box of 35)

I understand that I bought small's but these are so tiny and tight. Using with both bands definitely sealed my face but I wasn't in a setting that I needed it to be sealed, just covered and the metal on the nose dug right into my nose and hurt. I ended up stretching the band and actually removing one of them so that it was easier to pull on and off my face and rest on my neck when I didn't need to be covered. I prefer this type of mask over ear loops because ear loops hurt my ears and that is all my employer offered. I'm just an average sized female 155#, 5'5" and like I said...THESE ARE SMALL! Loved the price but don't get hung up on it if you think they won't fit your face because they probably won't without hurting and leaving marks

I like the fit of the wellbefore petite/kids masks, and these were way smaller than the wellbefore kids size Regular.

I purchased the small because I wear a small 3M N95 mask, however, these are a bit too tight for my taste. They will work in the meantime, but next time I will get the next size up (I'm a small female). I think the small size would work great for kids and small teens.They are the best fitting and most comfortable in my opinion. The metal nose clip doesn't irritate the bridge of my nose (however, on my friend they do, she puts a bandaid on her nose to pad it). They also don't hurt my jaw; I feel some masks push my jaw back and at the end of the day it hurts. The duckbill design feels roomy and my lipgloss doesn't rub against the material as much. I can talk easily in these masks. In my opinion, these are easier to breathe in than the 3M or the Honeywell brands because of the duckbill design and the fabric used.I'm not crazy about the plastic band. Once they are stretched out, they do not return to their original size. Meaning, if you are forced to reuse it for several days, it may or may not last the week depending on how much you stretch it. However, with that said, I think the plastic band keeps it from sliding up or down my head.Unfortunately, my eyeglasses still fog up in one corner of the mask. To prevent this, I use tape along the top edge of the mask. It may also fog because the strap loses its elasticity. However, unlike other N95 masks, my glasses do not hit the edge of the mask, making these the best ones to wear with eyeglasses if you have that problem.

Great for small faces! Not a fan of the elastic band nor the staples holding the band in place. The elastic band pulls on your hair and the staples scratches your face.

I have both the regular size and the smaller size of this mask. These are the first masks out of many that fit well. It's the first time I have ever felt safe and secure in a mask without constant adjusting. I find that the smaller size presses on my nostrils in such a way that my nostrils compress. The larger size has better breathing area. I have a very small face and somehow both fit well. Some days I wear the regular size and others I wear the smaller one.I would give the regular size 5 stars for fit and comfort. The smaller size a 4 because of nostril issue.

Think these are small

I am incredibly relieved to have gotten this shipment -- not just of N95 masks, but of N95s that fit my face. For reference, I'm 5'1", 120 lbs. Most sixth-graders are taller and heavier than I am, but there are a lot of women my size and smaller. So if you are a man here to pitch a fit because this doesn't fit you, blame yourself for not reading the label and stop telling people it "doesn't fit adults". You are not the reference measure for "adult".For me, the fit is quite snug, but that's what you want. This is the first mask I've had that manages to make a good seal consistently. It does cover my nose and go under my chin as it's meant to, and talking in it is fine. I have to work a bit to get the seal right at the nose, but I can get it there and my glasses don't fog. I can see where the duckbill might make shield-wearing awkward; if you have a shield with a tilt-screen that might make it easier and provide a little play.To HCPs upset that this has been available online: I understand. Please also understand that many of us here are pressed into service as home HCPs when someone gets sick, and if we're vulnerable ourselves, we have no protection. No hospital is going to ship us PPE that's worth anything, but the hospitals also aren't going to admit our family members. The advice to isolate sick family members doesn't work when the only available caregiver is themselves elderly or a single parent. So we do need protection too, and it's been hard to come by.Here's hoping that with the new admin in place, we'll all have what we need soon. In the meantime, I'm glad and grateful to have these.

These fit small adults and I imagine teenagers or middle school students as well. As a small person I've wasted lots of money on masks that fall off my face or leave large gaps. I have a wonky immune system and so can't take a chance on masks that don't seal properly. This mask is also VERY light weight and the pocket allows for easier breathing. It's so light that at first I felt not so protected, but you definitely are, these are hospital grade masks I've been having problems with " maskne" and dry lips from masks rubbing my face and mouth. These don't do that because of the pouch. Yes, it looks a little silly, so what? I just go around honking like a platypus and it's all good. With that said, when you first take the mask out of the box, the straps will be REALLY tight. Don't freak out. I gently stretched the straps by securing the ends so the straps dont break away from the mask and then gently stretching the middle of the straps for a couple minutes. It works very well for small adults and adolescents.
