Customer Reviews for 3M - Particulate Respirator N95 Masks - 20 pack - White

Glad to receive the mask but they are a little tight around my face due to the tight straps. Not sure how to fix this so it's more comfortable to wear.

3M recommends pre-stretching of the 8210 head strap prior to the initial use. If you make the decision to reuse the same respirator, additional pre-stretching is not needed. Depending on the number of reuses, pre-stretching each time could potentially weaken the head strap. Because they’re considered disposable respirators, they’re not designed for significant reuse.

What happened to the old bands
on January 15, 2022

from Morrisville, Pa
In the autobody industry I've been using 3m masks since I was 9 years old. Since covid theyve replaced the original bands with these waxy yellow bands and they're terrible they're either super tight or break off my head.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking time to leave a review.
You may have been previously using the 3M 8210+ N95 Respirator which has a braided head strap. Your current respirator, the 8210 N95, uses a thermoplastic rubber head strap that requires pre-stretching prior to use. If this is not done the head strap can break quickly. The 8210+ N95 is still available, but possibly not through your regular supplier.
Please call the 3M Techline at 800.243.4630, if you require further assistance with product selection.

Well fitting. Not difficult to breathe in. Doesn't really bother me to wear a long time.

The overall size, for us was a little bit small.
Also, the two rubber bands were way too tight,
so that it was quite uncomfortable to wear.
I recommend longer rubber bands and let the customer tie
a knot into them to make them fit properly.

Most 3M N95 models are offered in one size only designed to fit most adults. We do have a few small N95 models (8110S, 9105S) designed for smaller faces but we don’t offer a specific model for larger faces. All 3M N95 models fit slightly different, even those of the same size. We recommend that you try fitting on other N95 models. If you continue to have difficulty fitting larger faces, please call the 3M Techline at 800-538-5500, option 2 to discuss other options for respiratory protection products.
We also recommend pre-stretching of the 8210 head strap only prior to the initial use. If you make the decision to reuse the same respirator additional pre-stretching is not needed. Depending on the number of reuses, pre-stretching each time could potentially weaken the head strap. Because they’re considered disposable respirators, they’re not designed for significant reuse.

I have no issues with the elastic since these are only intended for a day of use at most. I often use mine two or three 8-9 hour days before the elastic breaks. They've never broken at the attachment points to the mask, so I just tie the ends back together if I need to. I pay attention to the seal against my face, and it seems to remain sealed even on the second or third day.

Good mask. Poor straps. I think I received old inventory. The straps were very stiff, but could be usable after stretching.
