Just wanted to say I have colored KN95 masks so I can match to what I wear lol. I have black, pink, gray, light blue, and maroon. I got them from Amazon. Before anyone says it ... yes they could be fake KN95s, but I researched the company and they seem legit.

btw ... the offending post on the other thread is still there so not sure what you deleted but it wasn't the one I was talking about.

I got ones with dogs on them. LOL My favorites are the ones that Puma makes. They fit perfect.

Gone for a day, come back and the thread is locked.... ☹️ We were doing do well...sigh

Do they make N95s that aren't white? I bought a huge box of white ones. My family members keep telling me you can use an N95 more than once.... How long do others use theirs? They also said to just put it on the dash to sanitize?? I'm unsure on this stuff. I have been using them a few times and then tossing...(but they're sorta expensive so if I can use them longer please let me know...)

Any ideas?

I have black ones because white doesn't suit me (technically they're FFP2, but I believe that's comparable to N95).

I don't use the N95s because the bands go around your head and that gives me a headache. I use the KN95s because they have ear loops and I can get them in different colors. The ones I have now fit tight around my face and have a nose wire to fit tight. They are made by Miuphro (in China)

Since I only wear mine at most a few hours at my infusions (otherwise it's just for a few minutes to go in a store) I use mine multiple times. I just leave it sit for a few days before wearing the same mask again. I trash them when it seems like I have worn them long enough cumulatively but I don't actually keep track of it.

Thanks guys!

That thread that I could just click on helped...and your responses.

I really like the ones that go around your ears and not your head... But I bought that giant darn box of N95s and I have got to use it up. ☹️

I do have 2 KN95s that my doctor gave me but he told me to save them for when I am wearing another mask and feel like I can't breathe.

We drove to Colorado today so I could see another doctor.. I could count on 1 hand the people that wore masks. 😳👿 I was not a happy camper. I guess I nagged about it so long and so loudly my ride wanted to let me out on the side of the highway...lol...

Then I just watched the news...and states are starting to open up. I just want to cry. Covid didn't disappear.

Clo,

It’s not like it was 12 months ago or even 6 months ago. They have much better treatments now like the antivirals that just came on the market and the latest monoclonal antibody for people with weakened immune systems.

There will be an omicron specific vaccine coming out in a month or two.

We’re in a much better place.
