[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1070536, member: 70552"] Should say the £15 was with discount voucher I had. 30 are now going for £27. And yes they could be fake, as made in China to their KN95 standard, but also says it conforms to FFP2 and CE mark. Still would need to do proper research. As for washes - it still hasn’t fallen apart and they are still better than cloth masks which are not made to any standard. I know it is not proper advice and should be used only once, but then that comes down to my choice and judgement if it becomes useable or needs recycling. And I use a head band so it is tight to my face - better than cloth or surgical. The other option is double masking with the blue surgical masks. Still no guidance on this from the Govt. Again there is this thinking and messaging that any mask is better than no mask. But that is just misunderstanding that not all masks are equal and our understanding of how the virus is transmitted since 2020 has Changed. Plus I have worn these past year (including in the office for 7/8 hrs) and have yet to test positive from the virus. In my mind the “false sense of security” has worked for me. Can’t speak for anyone else as not everyone wears one or even a FFP2 mask, plus not everyone wears them properly tight to the nose and face to reduce leakages - comes down to education again. But that is why the UK Governments need to start providing ones which do meet proper regulatory standards to stop fakes. It just isn’t even spoken about atm and production here can be ramped up (jobs) and wide spread recycling schemes set up as part of learning to live with Covid. [/QUOTE]
