I got these KN95 masks for DD. The site says they are good for kids 3+, but I think they would probably be too big for that age - DD is 7 and they just barely fit her well, so depending on your kids’ ages, they may or may not work.
Thanks! They are 6 and 8 so these should work. I think I am going to get a few to try. I hope the kids are like their dad in that many masks work but like their mom in that they will make them work (My husband is loyal to a few specific masks but I took awhile to find some that worked well and eventually figured out how to make any work).
Can I ask a really behind question? My kids were virtual all last year so they wore cloth masks when necessary, but mainly stayed out of public places. Since we will be going back in about a month and they will be the only ones wearing masks, I would like to offer them the chance to wear a better mask.
Does anyone know of a reputable source for kid kf94 (since n95 are technically adult sized)? Or a good kid sized medical grade mask? I teach big people and have a good supply of KN95 left for me (bought off a doctor’s wife who had imported them before everything went to hell), but those are technically too big for me so my kids would swim in them.
Cases in my area are rising (we are averaging over 45 cases per 100K per day for the last week) and I haven’t seen a mask on a kid (except mine) since May. Thanks!
So I know nothing about kf94 but when I traveled I had a cardiologist friend of mine give me some n95 to wear while traveling. First I can tell you that the duckbill one was a million times more comfortable for breathing than the non-duckbill if that is an option, although looks ridiculous.
But I can also tell you I can’t imagine a kid consistently wearing it properly in school all day every day. It’s TIGHT!!

Our schools are saying they will be required for everyone, at this point even for vaccinated teachers. So kids and I need masks- this year we hardly went anywhere, so we just have a couple masks each. Now we are all going to be at school every day. I went into town this weekend and stocked up. Went a little crazy but I was one state over where no one is wearing masks and everything was on clearance so I bought tons. If I have too many for my kids it doesn’t matter- I’m sure I’ll have students who need spares

I have found with my kids that there is no such thing as too many masks. They leave them everywhere and I'm constantly hunting around the house and the car to gather them up to wash them. You'll be glad to have a ton!
Me too. My County’s health department Is obviously getting annoyed with the schools in our area and the plan for no masks because they said they stand by what the AAP and CDC say and it should be followed. So 🤞🤞
Sadly, it won’t make a difference in states where Governors have taken away the ability for school boards to make these decisions.
This all just sucks. I feel like we’re in a No Win situation. I don’t even think our schools are doing quarantines or contact tracing anymore, either. So I feel like we’re guaranteed to get it…it’s just a matter of time.
