If your line of work requires you to wear an N95 respirator or a mask for long periods of time, or if you\u2019re someone who continues to seek high\u2013<\/ins>grade protection for public and indoor settings, finding a comfortable mask that fits properly and keeps you protected is paramount.<\/p>\n

We have all seen the harsh results many healthcare workers have experienced from wearing disposable N95s for long periods of time.\u00a0 Face acne<\/span>,<\/del>\u00a0and mask rash are all too common.\u00a0 Disposables are also difficult to wear with glasses and; goggles, cause fogging, can interfere with your PPE and can be very hot.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0Whether respiratory protection is critical PPE for your job function or if you are looking for personal use, comfort is king.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what you need to know about finding a comfortable N95 mask, the difference between respirators and how to ensure an air-tight seal.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0Elastomeric respirators make the most comfortable N95 masks<\/span><\/p>\n

Comfort is at the core of everything we do at Dentec Safety. As a distributor and NIOSH-approved manufacturer of both\u00a0disposable\u00a0and\u00a0reusable respirators\u00a0and\u00a0half masks\u00a0for almost 20 years, we literally live and breathe (pun intended) respiratory protection<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Disposable N95 masks are and will continue to be a critical piece of PPE for many industries and applications, but truth be told, they are just not comfortable to wear for long periods of time.\u00a0 What makes them uncomfortable is that they are not adjustable.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s comfort you seek, switching to an elastomeric respirator will feel like night and day compared to a non-adjustable disposable mask because a reusable respirator like the\u00a0Comfort-Air\u00aeNx<\/a>\u00a0has an 8-point adjustable suspension that allows you to obtain a proper and comfortable fit even with pony tales or hair buns.<\/p>\n

The silicone seal on the 400NXMD half-face respirator is comfortable and soft enough that wearing the device for long hours is possible. Even when the headbands are tightened to achieve a good fit, the seal materials remain comfortable and tolerable \u2013 even in hot and humid conditions.<\/em>1<\/sup><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The other important factor with mask comfort is breathability.\u00a0 \u00a0Having a low-pressure drop means that you must exert effort to draw air in or push air out.\u00a0 This is what can also make disposable masks and respirators feel so uncomfortable and claustrophobic.\u00a0 However, with an elastomeric half mask like the Comfort-Air\u00aeNx Series, you will have much less breathing resistance.\u00a0 The Comfort-Air\u00aeNx has one of the lowest pressure drops in the industry. Internal temperature recordings inside the mask are 2\u00b0 C cooler than wearing a disposable respirator including a surgical-style mask.<\/p>\n

Regarding the comfort of the respirator in other areas, the name says it all. The<\/em>\u00a0Comfort-Air\u00aeNx\u00a0respirator is very comfortable. I would go as far as to say this is the most comfortable respirator on this list.. Overall, the 400NXMD is a comfortable half-face respirator that excels in breathability.\u201d Regarding the comfort of the respirator in other areas, the name says it all.

When it comes to PPE,<\/ins>\u00a0you can also be comfortable knowing that using a reusable respirator has additional \u201chealth\u201d and environmental benefits.\u00a0\u00a0Elastomeric respirators\u00a0are reusable so if you have one, you don\u2019t need to worry about shortages of N95s or surgical masks when they are in short supply.\u00a0Elastomeric respirators\u00a0are a sustainable solution and are designed to be cleaned, decontaminated, and reused. The filters can last up to one year according to CDC guidelines. \u00a0Because of this feature, one elastomeric mask can do the work of hundreds, if not thousands, of disposable N95 masks. They help keep costs down and they can be used in more work environments due to their rubber-like material.<\/p>\n

What is the best N95 mask for sensitive skin?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When you switch from a disposable mask to a reusable N95 like the Comfort-Air\u00aeNx, you can say goodbye to face rash and mask acne.\u00a0 The elastomeric rubber formulation offers a material that is a lot softer and more supple on the skin and surprisingly lightweight. In addition, the inside sealing flange is what gives the elastomeric mask a lot more comfort because you have much more pressure points. The ergonomic shape of elastomeric mimics the contour of your nose and the curvature of your jawline to provide a much more comfortable and secure fit.<\/p>\n

What is the best N95 mask for large faces?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Traditionally disposable masks come in one size and can be especially tricky to fit for large or wide faces.\u00a0 If you are a larger person or have a wide face you may find it difficult to achieve a proper fit with disposable respirators due to the sizing and lack of suspension adjustment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The height of a nose bridge is not as important as both the vertical and horizontal measurements to help advise the proper size of respirator for your face.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

See Our Size Guide:\u00a0DENTEC Comfort-Air\u00aeNxMD Size Guide (dentecsafety.com<\/a>)<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Please note that the inside sealing flange on Dentec\u2019s elastomeric respirator is quite generous in both the S\/M and M\/L sizes. This sealing flange is going to help provide a secure a comfortable seal regardless of nose bridge height.<\/p>\n

What is the best N95 mask for beards?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Respirators require an optimal seal to guarantee their effectiveness and the beard or facial hair can impede this. According to\u00a0SPI Health and Safety<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In 100% of cases, after 7 days without shaving, the respiratory protection masks showed a leak of more than 1%.<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0This means that the air inside the mask contained more than 1% of unwanted particles!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Also, it has been noted that jobs requiring regular head movement increase the probability that poorly shaved skin will create a leak.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To give an idea of the average frequency of shaving required, the beard should, for a worker on duty, have been shaved no more than 8 hours before the face shield is installed. This will ensure a facial surface with a minimum of irregularity to facilitate the tight and effective installation of the mask.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The critical thing to remember about your respiratory protection mask is that any breach, no matter how small, can lead to toxic gases, vapours or particles being inhaled. Shaving all facial hair will promote an optimal seal and prevent leakage through the mask.\u00a0 Any facial hair including mustaches, sideburns or stubble can impede the effectiveness of the respirator.<\/p>\n
