Why Purchase Disposable Face Masks?
Disposable masks offer quick, breathable protection when interacting with others in close proximity. Grab a face mask on your way out the door, keep them in the car, or accessible to employees and students to make sure everyone is protected, even if they forget their own face mask. While these masks don’t create a seal around the mouth and nose, wearing disposable face masks can help prevent the spread of moisture droplets, dust, debris, and airborne bacteria.
Where Should You Wear a Disposable Face Mask?
Having a box of disposable masks on hand is an easy way to make sure you’re never caught without protection in the following places:
• Running errands
• Taking a walk
• School
• Office/workspace
• Recreational activities
• Restaurant
• Public transportation
• Air travel
• Any place you may interact with other people
It’s important to remember that these disposable face masks are not intended for medical or surgical use but can still offer adequate protection for everyday applications. If you feel sick, have a fever, cough, allergies, or sneezing, it’s advisable to wear a face mask as an extra precaution, especially if interacting with other people.
How Long Can You Wear a Disposable Face Mask For?
Disposable face masks are intended for single-use and should be properly removed and disposed of after wearing. Do face masks expire? While there is not one set expiration date for disposable masks, check individual manufacturer’s recommendations for guidance on if they expire. Some may set expiration dates for the mask or elastic used on the mask.
What Should You Look for When Buying Disposable Face Masks?
Disposable masks are intended to provide protection from airborne particles, but not to be used as a surgical mask, which is best reserved for healthcare workers. Choose face masks that:
• Fit snugly around mouth, nose, and face
• Can be secured around ears without slipping off nose
• Has multiple layers of fabric (3-ply or 5-ply)
• Breathable
