Masks - Where to Purchase?

Hi guys, I live in a smaller city and now that authorities have recommended the use of masks, everywhere seems to have sold out. Where have you guys been buying yours , preferably the more effective ones (e.g. the >95% filtration ones)? Would prefer not to get gouged and/or be sold some shoddily-made fakes on eBay and the like. TIA!

 

Honestly you'll probably be gouged / pay insane amounts. My best advice would be to look at DIY tutorials online with thick fabrics and double down. It's not perfect but honestly at least you have control over the quality.

I know personally i've seen masks sold in random grocery stores but not sure if you want to take the risk to go out and look just for masks, presuming you don't have any / many as it is.

 

i bought my KN95 on here on the recommendation of a coworker. overall pretty pleased - my masks were pretty well made (and i preferred the ones with a valve), but full disclosure, i'm no PPE expert. prices on the high side, but not as outrageous as some prices i saw elsewhere. will be looking to repurchase after they restock, which customer service said will be next week

 

You can make one yourself with a t-shirt or a sock.(Go on Youtube) I used the t-shirt version for a while but it was not very good. More recently, my wife connected with someone through our local Face Book page who made us some nicer looking masks, which seem to work very well.

I purchased all my mask on various websites, there are different products out there.

1) 10pcs foldable mask https://www.banggood.com/10Pcs-KN95-3D-Foldable-Face-Masks-4-layer-Dust…

2) 1x reusable / washable https://www.banggood.com/Washable-Reusable-PM2_5-N95-Anti-Air-Pollution…

3) 5pcs https://www.banggood.com/N95-Mask-5PCS-3D-Protection-PM2_5-KN95-Respira…

They are shipped from overseas but arrived quickly at my place. you can reuse most of the products that are not meant to be. I don't throw them away after a 10 minutes shopping trip. I know we should use new ones. Hope that is fine.
