We’ve (as in my family not the committee that argues in my head nearly constantly) been using Meh KN95 masks now since they sold that first batch on November 2nd 2020. Right off we found them to be much better than the 5 layer crap masks we used prior to the Meh KN95s.
That is until that last batch, January 27th 2021. Right off they felt cheaper & don’t seal as well. We are under no illusions that any of these masks the Meh is selling are real KN95s, not at these prices. Not that I am an expert.
For once, The Committee (in my head) is in full agreement, a solid meh. We also have a LOT of masks, my wife is vaccinated, & I am hoping the After Times are coming soon.
@Joedetroit My go to vendor on eBay has been shipping quality KN95’s until my last batch. Like you, a definite change in thickness, quality, seal…and they’re about an inch less wide.
@Kyeh I used to play the Carney album quite a bit. I
also especially liked “Tight Rope” and was fascinated by “Acid Annapolis”. I also enjoy the covers of “Masquerade” by George Benson and the Carpenters – just a great song.
The Carney album was in my steady rotation, along with others such as Dylan’s “Nashville Skyline” and Derek and the Dominos (I get an earwig from “Bell Bottom Blues” or “Layla”).
I lost about all of my music because of a house fire a couple years back, and cannot afford to replace it, but at least there is Youtube or Amazon Prime. I did have hundreds (really) of albums, between open reel, 8-track, cassettes, vinyl, CD, and DVD.
For an unusual look at Leon R, watch
It’s kinda long and focuses more on Glen Campbell, but does show interaction with Leon quite a bit. (And note, he doesn’t use even a scrap piece of music.)
@phendrick That video is quite wonderful. His beard and hair look so cool, too!
Oh, I’m sorry about your house fire though - how sickening to lose a great collection like that.
The last packs I bought on Meh were the best masks I’ve bought since The Bad Times began. Buying 3 more boxes now - either they’ll get me through the rest of the pandemic, or the pandemic will end sooner than expected and I’ll have masks for the next time California is on fire. Winning?
@DKinMN Haven’t tried with these but yeah elastics pull off of cheap masks all the time. I glue them back on with hot melt glue and that works pretty well.
@boc Looks like they do, it’s sort of “built-in,” covered by cloth. I have had similar ones have the bar lose its place in the cloth, but maybe that was a sign I had already worn it more than a couple of hours.
@tartanknickers Get some very, very thin strips of foam and glue them on the mask. The medical ones I was given when I had an apt have that and it really helps with fogging. Of course they also have really a good nose piece that goes across one’s cheek far more than most do, however the foam affect exhale breath flow and helps with the fogging.
@Kidsandliz@tartanknickers I’ve bought several varieties of KN95, and the better ones have a metal strip on the outside of the nose bridge. The ones with the strip (of whatever material) inside the mask layers do not seem to fit as well. It may just be the ones I’ve obtained, but the exterior metal strip seems to lead to a better fit around the nose.
@MrNews@tartanknickers The other things that help is have a longer nose piece running across most of the top of your cheek along with a thicker one that holds the bend well without being hard to make tiny adjustments. The extra foam strip along the top that the medical surgical masks I was given to wear did help. Of course they also had a practically perfect nose piece on there too.
Why is Meh hiding where these masks are made?
Probably because they are being made in China when China is the reason why the entire world is being forced to wear them in the first place !!
@courteousblock I got mine from Be Healthy USA. I highly recommend the mix and match ten packs so you can see what fits best before committing to a bigger order.
If they are the same as the last batch in January they are acceptable if you are double masking. They don’t fit very well otherwise, no real seal and the nose strip is just sort of there.
They shipped Feb 10th and still no masks. They’ve been sitting in a facility in NJ for 4 days. What shipping method do they use. They better be worth it.
Very poor quality masks: the material tends to shed a but like when you pull a cotton ball; the masks are small (made for small faces, even smaller than my small face); they have a slight odor (which is not so bothersome, but worth mentioning)
@neil4ad I’ve generally had good luck with these, but one of the 5-packs so far has had distinctly shorter straps, forcing my (not so small) ears forward.
These sheets aren’t very big.

I cannot wait for these to arrive at my house… from the previous time you sold them!
@wickhameh I just got my order from when they sold them 2x ago. Like not the last time these were sold, but the time before
Doesn’t look like a pillow to me.
Do they work with my MAC?

Great album!I think this was the second or third record I ever bought for myself … the first was Cat Stevens, James Taylor or Carole King.

The ear loops just pull right off about 1/3 of the ones we received last time. So far.

Wish they would get in some non-chinese ones. Meh.
Do these have that little bar/strip over the nose bridge area so that you can fit it snugly over your the top of your nose?
@boc DO YOU?!!1!!
/image well do you punk?
@boc Looks like they do, it’s sort of “built-in,” covered by cloth. I have had similar ones have the bar lose its place in the cloth, but maybe that was a sign I had already worn it more than a couple of hours.
@stinks Do you what? Do you do that thing you do?
/giphy that thing you do
The nose things are never very bendy and leave big gaps. I’m sick of double sided taping the mask to my face so I can see through my glasses.

Didn’t they JUST sell some of these. Like within the last couple weeks?
@Vee19 Yep, bought 3 for my mom, and she’s been using them when she needs to go out now.
I’m holding out for the KN69 masks…ooppps, I meant the KN96 masks. Bigger is better, right? So 96 will be better than 95…

@kenken1213 Sure, buddy.
@kenken1213 the space after the sentence but before the exclamation points is as sure a sign as any
@kenken1213 there is a TV channel just for you. or 2 of ‘em. Oh wait, both got their a$$e$ sued for spewing $#it.
I’ve become a big fan of the kf94 masks I’ve gotten, much less fogging of glasses for me.
My guess is the only reason they’re less popular is because they don’t show up on a search for n95.
Not planning on picking up any more kn95s as a result.
@Helot I’ve wanted to try kf94. Where did you get yours if you don’t mind me asking?
@courteousblock I got mine from Be Healthy USA. I highly recommend the mix and match ten packs so you can see what fits best before committing to a bigger order.
@courteousblock Rando amazon seller. Wanted to try a few before I committed to a cheaper per unit bulk order.

Not sure if this is the same, but if you adjust the ones I got before (even a little) the ear strips snap.
Maybe I have a big head? Maybe buy more and keep in pockets?

I got this last time. It’s terrible. The elastics are either too short or mismatched, and none of the masks fit at all.
Appreciate Meh trying to get some PPE out there, but do better. These are garbage.
