"...to wear with glasses than comparable Moldex masks, and the straps are more durable, too...." Read more
Customers generally like the mask quality. They say it's a great mask for high-level protection, especially for wildfires. The mask improves with use as it conforms to your face, has no smell, and is a good alternative to a full face respirator. It's a great addition to bugout bags and emergency/survival kits.

Best Respirator Mask in the Disposable Line of Face Masks
Top reviews from the United States

- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024Color: WhiteSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThis is an excellent product, with one massive blemish. It's packaged in just a plastic bag. Since Amazon absolutely has to save $0.000001 on packaging, they will ship it in another plastic bag. The masks get squished out of shape about 95% of the time.
Unsquished, these masks are very comfortable. None of the material touches your lips or the bottom part of your nose.
Squished, they are itchy and surprisingly annoying. They are also way less safe. After about ten minutes of this torture you start adjusting them and loosening the straps. Eventually you settle on a configuration where the mask is basically halfway off and air just goes around it.
3M should really package them in boxes. And for the love of all that is holy, Amazon needs to add an option to request boxes instead of bags.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2017Color: WhiteSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseHi,
This disposable 3M 8293 P100 mask is amazing. It blocks all foreign odors such as stinky, musty, moldy odors and tobacco smoke smells (and more).
For starters, all disposable mask work/seal best on a clean shaven face (no mustache, beard or side burns). If you have facial hair, you will never get a good fit/seal when wearing a disposable mask and/or half mask respirator. If you don't have a correct seal, the mask will not do its job as advertised (another reason why soldiers are not permitted to have facial hair). The facial hair rule is mentioned a lot in 3M's online safety documentation.
Secondly, according to 3M, a medium sized mask/respirator fits 80% of humans. If your nose is too large/long, try a larger mask. Test out the seal at your local store that has a garden center that sells plants/fertilizer. You will know you have a good fitting mask when you can't smell the plants/fertilizer. Do this first before wearing the mask in a hazardous situation/area.
Thirdly, the World Health Organization (WHO) says that in cities with poor air quality, that a mask with a PM2.5 rating must be warn to protect your lungs. PM2.5 masks protect people from breathing in particles (particles in the air) that are larger than 2.5 microns. This mask protects people from particles 0.3 microns or larger and makes almost all smells/odors undetectable to the human nose.
If you are traveling outside the US (or live in a smog plagued city like Las Angeles, CA) then, a P100 Mask is the best form of protection to protect your lungs.
It's best to carry a few of these P100 disposable masks while traveling in other countries and to store opened masks in an air tight, resealable plastic bag (like a ziplock) to increase the life of the mask (an air tight plastic bag protects the mask from absorbing odors/moisture).
This mask works best with DEWALT DPG82-11 Safety Glasses (prescription eyeglasses friendly). I own a pair of these safety glasses and I wear them over my prescription glasses comfortably without my prescription glasses fogging up due to the comfortable foam seal that travels around the frame of the safety glass lens).
These can be found on Amazon for around $11 (see Amazon product title below):
DEWALT DPG82-11 Concealer Clear Anti-Fog Dual Mold Safety Goggle.
Bottom line: The 3M 8293 P100 Mask is amazing and is a great addition to bugout bags and emergency/survival kits in your vehicle/boat/motor home.
Also, they block out stinky poo gas odor, urine odor and decomposing flesh odor (like dead animals found while fishing/hiking/camping).
They are great to use while cleaning homes/businesses or using the restroom after someone else.
I use these masks from time to time in moldy/mildew infested environments and I breath clearly without any issues.
If your prescription glasses are fogging up, pinch the bendable metal strip (hard/firmly), within the mask, that rides on the bridge of your nose (above your nose just below the center of your eyes) to prevent warm, humid air leaving your lungs from fogging your glasses (or use this mask with the Anti-Fog Dewalt DPG82-11 Safety Glasses). If your glasses are still fogging up, pull the mask off your face about an inch and pinch the bendable metal strip, within the mask, before lowing the mask back in position over your mouth/nose for a better fit. The metal strip should form over the bridge of your nose and fit snug on the sides of your face below your eyes.
Hope this helps others out.
Note: I wrote this review without pay from anyone because I like how much this mask helps me out. I didn't receive anything for recommending the Dewalt Safety glasses either. This review included my personal review and facts from websites such as 3M (the manufacturer of this P100 disposable mask and WHO (The World Health Organization).

- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024Color: WhiteSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseComfortable, and works well.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2023Color: WhiteSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI first tried the leading name brand competitor, which partly covered my eyes, and wouldn't work with glasses, and simply couldn't get an adequate seal. This one marginally fits with a combination of careful/custom adjusting and detailed nose clip bending.
As I have a beard, this makes a complete seal impossible. As it is I have adjusted the lower strap very tight, while the upper is almost as loose as it can be. Also, if I strap it over my ear (recommended) it pulls the mask partly over my eyes! So both straps are around my neck.
In the end, with a combination of narrow face, glasses and beard I ended up buying a heavier duty reusable face mask with filters you change. At only a small price increase (and it comes in a large or small size!) it is a better option. But until it arrives this one is adequate, and I believe of good quality and useful for normal adult sized faces without beard or glasses.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2024Color: WhiteSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI'm seriously sensitive to wood smoke and had to photograph some fires. I know the regular N95 masks don't work for smoke, so I researched and bought this type of mask. Working in it for several hours, I didn't smell any smoke at all.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2017Color: WhiteSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseAn asthmatic, I cannot remain in some environments due to fragrances, fumes, airborne particulates, etc. I have been using the N95 masks, but they did not protect me from stronger fragrances and fumes. This 100 mask did the trick. It has a seal inside that your body heat adheres to your face. The mask improves with use as it conforms to your face. A woman, I removed the elastics and used a thin but strong elastic wrapped around my ears. A thick elastic does not do this efficiently as it is abrasive to the back of the ear and can "pop" off. The mask is made with plastic holders for the elastic, allowing easy adjustments that hold. This mask is really well made and I get enough use from one that I consider it economical. I keep it in one of those promotional cosmetic bags that has a zipper in my purse. Home Depot just starting carrying them so in a pinch, I pay more. One is rated for harmful vapors and one is not. So far I cannot tell the difference. What changed dramatically for me was going from an N95 or P95 to an N100 or P100. OH YEAH, I no longer even bother with a mask that has no ventilation valve - A life saver from heat build up in the mask and foggy glasses!
