Has anyone found extra large Kn95 masks?

[Clash City Rocker]

I try to be responsible and wear the Kn95 masks, but they seem to think one size fits all, and that’s not true. The ear loops hit a nerve in my ears, and that gives me headaches. Also, I wear glasses, and the best way to wear a mask with glasses is to pull the mask up until it’s under your glasses, if you don’t want the glasses to fog up. If I do that with a Kn95 mask, it doesn’t cover under my chin, so it isn’t all that safe.

With cloth masks, it’s easy to find extra large masks. With Kn95 masks, I have trouble finding any. If you know a source, can you let me know? Thanks in advance.

1. I have the opposite problem...

I have a very small head and the batch of N95s that I bought in Dec has long elastic straps and it is lose around the bottom so I end up knotting the elastic.

I wonder if you should get the kind of masks that have the elastic bands that go around your head and neck instead of the ears. You wouldn't have the ear nerve problem.

2. Don't know about large size, but I ordered stretchy cord and toggles

from Amazon so I could add more length to the ear loops and make them adjustable. Works great.

5. I'll try that, thanks

14. These are the ones I got, but there are lots of different types available.

Just search “cord locks for masks”

3. I have not found any. There is a little bit of variation in the one-size-fits-all model.

These seem to be a wee bit larger than average.

4. These are quite large N95 masks

I'm a plus size gal (over 280 lbs) and these are quite large. I like them but can't wear them because they are just too big for my face and loose around the chin. I've tried many KN95 and N95 masks and these are the largest I've encountered. You can buy them directly from the Aidway website or Amazon (search Aidway N95 Respirator).

6. Good tip, thanks

One of those goes all the way around the head, so no bothering with ear loops. I might have to try that as well.

7. The Honeywell N95 ones I got from CVS have straps that go around your head and neck, doing much...

better than the cheap blue things that are all over but go around your ears.

8. These work great to make a KN95 more comfortable

The link won't post properly. Cope/paste this into a Amazon search line;

MIAODAM Adjustable Mask Extender Strap, Mask Ear Saver, Mask Holder, Mask Straps, Masks Extension Masks Buckle Ear Protectors (5PCS, Black)

Argh. The picture won't post either.

Anyway, Before I switched to N95, I was wearing KN95s. The above item made them far more comfortable by eliminating the pressure on your ears. The are straps that hook to the ear loops and go across the back of your head. Very adjustable for length.

9. If you don't have facial hair, these are great

Strapless, held on with adhesive, niosh approved. I'd not use for a quick in-out at store, but do use for 7 hr clinics.

10. Yes

BOTN makes an extra large. kF94, I believe.

It’s comfortable and you can adjust the sizes.

They’re my favorite.

I buy them here:

11. If I were looking for them I would try Grainger Industrial Supply.

There are some big construction workers who have to wear the N-95s.

13. Look for masks with head straps

My sister wears a hearing aid and these work perfect. I wear strap ones too. Fit better more comfy.
