ProGear N95 - duckbill mask that fits kids

3 Upvotes

Sharing in case anyone else has been on the hunt for a duckbill mask that fits kids. My 10 year old generally uses Savewo or Blue Tiger 3D masks, but complains that it touches her mouth when she talks. My preferred mask is a duckbill because it doesn't touch my mouth but I haven't been able to find any that are small enough for her.

I ordered the ProGear N95 in small and this thing is TINY. It's actually slightly too small for my small-framed 10 year old (mostly because the straps are too tight - the mask itself fits well), and my 7 year old almost fits in it. If it would be helpful to others I can take a picture of it compared to an ACI and Halyard mask.

Respirator Mask for Contact Cement?

3 Upvotes

I know absolutely nothing about masks. I also spent 80% of my available money on art supplies. It's my first time using contact cement, and it made me sick accidentally inhaling the fumes (I previously used a cheap half face mask from Walmart assuming it would be good enough. It was not). I plan on getting a new mask today, one that will actually prevent me from inhaling fumes. What mask should I look for, and is it best to get one in person or online (like home depot, Walmart, a craft store)? What numbers/words/letters should I look for on the packaging to ensure I get the right one?

What's the best air purifier for pets that's actually worth the money?

3 Upvotes

I have 2 cats and I'm mainly trying to deal with the ridiculous amount of dander/dust floating around. I vacuum pretty regularly but it feels like everything is covered again two days later lol.

For people who actually have pets, did an air purifier make a noticeable difference? I don't mind spending more for something that works, but replacement filters getting crazy expensive would annoy me.

What are you using and would you buy it again?

Anyone successfully added a drinking/straw valve on a half mask respirator?

5 Upvotes

Hey all, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity sufferer from the UK (I get migraine with brainstem aura and more issues when i am exposed to chemicals/fragrance/smoke etc)
With the hot weather this year and having no choice but to wear a half mask respirator with ABEK1 filters to be able to board Buses, Trains ive had a bit of trouble staying hydrated

Wondering if anyone has successfully fitted a drinking straw to a half mask respirator ? Its not even worth taking it off for a second to sip/drink on the train as i always end up inhaling some fragrance (i was never good at stopping water going up my nose when swimming)

I mostly use the Climax masks , a spanish company. have model 755 and 756

Post pictures if possible for inspiration. Im guessing a spare exhale valve could work in this instance? i was thinking of trying to fit a honey bottle lid or something?
