Why we don't put filter pockets in our masks:

After extensive research on the subject, we have found that 3 layers of fabric are just as effective as an accepted HEPA (high efficiency particle air filter) type filter. Using a paper product as a filter such as coffee filters, paper towels, etc actually absorb more moisture which will bring the germs closer to your face. Most HEPA type filters, vacuum cleaner bags, a/c filters, etc may contain microscopic glass fiber which is harmful to the lungs, and their manufacturers warn against using them for masks. If you are considering using an acceptable HEPA filter, Studies have determined that close weave 100% cotton fabric also provides the best balance of filtration efficiency & breathability. Officials also caution that wearing a mask is more for protecting transmission from the wearer to others, not to protect the wearer.

Reviews

Please note: These masks are not to be considered as a replacement for the N95 or surgical face masks. The CDC is recommending that the general public should not be using the N95 or surgical masks at this time because they are needed by health care professionals. Because of shortages of the medical face masks and demand by medical professionals, the CDC has said that the use of homemade masks should be considered as a last resort. In recent days, some health experts have recommended that the general public venturing out into the public or crowded places should wear a mask or face shield, even a homemade one, to lower the rate of transmission of a virus. In their words, “it is better than nothing.”
