Based on the responses in a [previous thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/recommend-some-reusable-face-masks/939629), I bought these 3M daily face masks. Like my review says in that thread, they’re fine. Not magically comfortable, but they fit my needs, and are good for 30+ minutes in a store situations. I also use one at work for when I’m in common parts of the building, so on and off throughout the day. > **[3M Daily Face Mask 5-Pack Reusable Cotton Not Rated One Size Fits Most All-...](https://www.lowes.com/pd/3M-RFM100-5/5000769619)** > > Shop 3M Daily Face Mask 5-Pack Reusable Cotton Not Rated One Size Fits Most All- Purpose Face Maskundefined at Lowe's.com. Whether you’re traveling, running errands, attending personal appointments or doing other activities where face coverings are... Since that thread, I bought another 10 pack of them, so I can keep a spare at work, in all vehicles, and still have plenty to get through a week or two of use between washes. I also bought some [KN95 masks from ProjectN95](https://shop.projectn95.org/powecom-kn95-black-respirators-bag-of-10/p) and I wear those at the hospital or other places I’m likely to be around sick people. They’re the pyramid type ones, and are pretty comfortable to wear for hours at a time. “Comfortable” is, of course, all relative. I might not be bothered by something that annoys you. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-the-most-comfortable-face-mask-for-long-term-wear/951201)._
