Strapless Large Yellow ReadiMask Respirator 10-Pack

I bought these to wear when getting my hair done. Took a few moments of adjusting and learning how best to fit to my face, but worked perfectly. The adjustments didn't degrade the stickiness, and when I was all finished, the mask removed easily with no residue.I was at the salon for several hours, and the mask stayed in place the whole time, and didn't interfere in the wash/cut/bleach/color at all. I could breathe through it as well as any other mask. Bonus: it helped cut the bleach fumes!The owner of the salon was intrigued by them for her customers, so I gave her one from my pack.

Unlike most respirator masks, these didn't have any metal staples or nose bridge in them and so was able to wear it MRI machine.

These are nice not having your ears pulled on but the yellow is obnoxious. Learning to place these and removing and placing again makes the adhesive less effective.

ReadiMask has now been NIOSH approved, so these can be considered N95s. If you look at the model number on the units and compare it to the model number on ReadiMask's website, you'll find that they are the same. This lot was probably manufactured prior to their NIOSH approval (which takes ages to get) but they are the same item and offer the same protection. I am using them under a costume for a cosplay and, so far, its been excellent! Wipe your face with alcohol before you apply it and make sure you don't have any lotion/oil on your skin prior to sticking it on and it will stick famously.

For starters, I've been using N95 masks for more than decade before the pandemic hit. However, those masks have metal nose strips and I was looking for one that I could wear to an MRI. I saw this one and was directed here to order. After purchase and trying to use, here are my thoughts.PROS: If it worked, it would be a great, very short term (likely less than 1 hour of use before adhesive fails) solution to a mask for an MRI. See Con section now.CONS: First, the adhesive is lousy. Even with freshly washed and well dried skin having no lotion or anything, the adhesive isn't even as good as a bandaid. The masks are flat and you must pay super close attention to trying to manage shaping it to your face. WHY they couldn't pre-shape it so that it's at least in the form of a face/nose where all you have to do is remove adhesive covers and then you can press in place, I don't know. Either way, if you can't get reliable adhesion, why attempt to wear a mask AT ALL? Finally, more frustrating for me, NOT ONE WORD of documentation in the package saying it's MRI safe for me to carry with me to the imaging center. NOT ONE WORD. Of course they're not going to let me in there without proof it's not going to set the whole machine and me ablaze when the magnets get going.OVERALL: No, don't waste your money on this junk. I'd give less than 1 star if I could.

The best thing about these masks is the adhesive. You can where them all day, and the seal is tight. That's it though.These are not NIOSH Approved, and therefore are not N95s. They also feel flimsy. When you blow while wearing them, air goes right through.Also, I wear two masks for extra protection, and I was hoping the seal would help prevent my glasses from fogging up. NOPE. It was actually worse because the mask itself provides no barrier. A paper towel would feel safer and more protective.I'm not trying to be harsh, but I can get 20 NIOSH Approved N95 masks for $18 at Home Depot. To pay $29 for 10 masks like this, felt like a rip-off.

This is a great mask. The adhesive stuck for me. I used it at the hairdresser. I was able to breathe fine with it, and it stuck for hours. It was very secure.

I got these to wear for an MRI so there would be no possible issues with a metal nose strip. They form an excellent seal and stay in place. Comfortable and not difficult to use. Supposedly you can also modify the way they fit to just cover your nose for dental appts. I haven't tried it, just saw a photo
