Out of curiosity, what's the most efficient way to mask? Surely I'm not supposed to just buy disposable N95s in bulk, right? I don't know what the best method is. -- /Goadstool@hexbear.net
Me and my bodycount of 9205s:
So as I was laying bed unable to sleep in I went looking for some stuff.
Found a reddit sub dedicated to masks:
https://old.reddit.com/r/Masks4All/ - And they've got a pretty extensive wiki!
And then found a guy that's been reviewing masks, filters, and air quality meters for a while now.
He's got a bunch of reviews for masks and respirators. Here's some of his reviews for reusable Masks/Respirators.
Flo Mask Review - The Best Everyday Mask? - which I'm currently leaning towards.
Envo Mask Review - N95 Reusable Respirator
ElastoMaskPro Review - The Most Breathable N95 Reusable Respirator?
Also he recently did a write up on Mask for Kids
Best Kids Masks: 13 Best Certified Facemasks for Toddlers, Children & Teens
If you've got more resources, please feel free to share them in the comments, this was just some stuff I saved while tapping around in bed.
despite being such an extensive website that review guy does a bad job explaining how respirators and masks for 'everyday' are different. like yeah i get you want a 100% seal in a medical environment so a half-face respirator frame is desirable, but i don't understand the variant filter standards. he never calls the 'masks' n95 or anything but seems to imply that they're for covid. like bro i don't know what a mmH2O is, a PFE or a flow rate. is it suitable for blocking a virus or is it just for industrial dust?
those washable nanofibre ones look cool from a fit perspective, ease putting it on & comfort is important, but how much (if anything) am i sacrificing from a disposable n95? 
im way too stupid to tell
Totally feel ya. I recommend checking out that Mask4all wiki. There's a lot of good info there that may help a bit.๐ค
