With covid I’ve tried a lot of different n95 masks, and I like the “pouch”-style
masks best. By a lot! They’re much easier to breathe through
then anything else I’ve tried, probably because they have so much
surface area. Because your mouth is in a large pocket, there’s plenty
of room for talking, and even singing. And they also get a good seal
without being too squeezy on my face or head.
While I see more people wearing them over time, they are still
relatively unusual. I expect some of this is different masks, being a
good fit for people with different shaped heads and different
preferences, but I think the main problem is that they make you look
a bit like a duck:
Anna had covid but I didn’t know
it yet. I didn’t get it, which I credit in part to this mask.
If I’m going to look anatine, however, I want to be intentional about
it. No one seems to make these in yellow but I wish they would: I’d
pay an extra $0.10/mask for some color:
