Does the mask have a bendable metal strip on the top to snugly fit around the nose? What other brands have you tried and were they better or worst?

Yes it has a bendable band that works very well. I have only tried other "Store" brands and these masks are much better than those I tried. These masks do not have the objectionable oder of the others as well.

I haven't tried any other brands. I didn't use it myself, I bought them for my son to wear on the subway after he got out of the hospital. He likes them and it was what they were using in the hospital.

I have worn it with safety glasses with no trouble. The seal around the mask is flexible and seems to work well in fitting with glasses. Worked well for me when i was finishing a new floor - there was no smell though the finish was very potent.

The mask uses velcro, so you can adjust it for the best fit. Much more comfortable for me than the simple elastic ones that felt like they were squeezing my skull.

No, it does not. The contour of the material for the nose is deep enough to go over any size noes PLUS its very well padded along the nose inside the mask, nothing at all can get through. You may have to play with it, but once I got use to it, I love it. Its my favorite mask to wear.

One of my masks is a classic. It's a little wider then the classic but it fits

Hello, This is a universal size as the closure is done by velcro straps and therefore adjust to the size of the person. Also the metallic plate on top of the nose area is bendable in order to contour the face better. Thank you for your interest in our products.

I'm not familiar--the one we bought, it seems it's all one metal piece, not different pieces molded together. It's a good mask, sorry you had that experience.

I have tried the Advanced. While they may work just fine for some folks, they didn't seem to give me the 'open nasal' effect that Breathe Right Extra does. The Extra type are made with heavier material and they adhere very securely, keeping my nasal passages open all night. And, they remove easily, too.

You actually don't get any nasal pillows with this mask. This is just he fabric frame only. We had to take the frame to the location where we got the machine and they had to verify our prescription before they would sell us the actual nasal portion that fits into this frame.

Not really, if you want a true fitting mask that gives excellent protection. I bought these hoping they would fit my 5 year old, it is smaller than a standard one but is still a bit gappy - the bottom part goes right over his chin and sits under his jaw. It does actually work OK for keeping out dust and debris, but it is by no means a good seal round the edges, so it wouldnt keep out small particles. It fits me very well, so I guess it is designed for small headed adults rather than kids. I also tried in on my two year old, it covers his entire face! (completely unusable)

I cannot answer that because I was never able to get it to fit with a good enough seal to wear it longer than 15 minutes. I hope that is helpful. I did change mask styles which helped some and I wear the mad just a little looser; seems crazy, but it helped, some.

The system really doesn't matter it is the type of mask you have. Some are over nose and mouth. The one I use is over the nose only.

I purchased the multipack for a slotted nose. At first I thought the smallest (IS) would work best for me, but then I tried the middle size (IIS). I wore the middle one for a few hours and thought it was being pushed out of my nose, but it was my imagination.Then I tried the small size again and definitely realized the medium was better for me.

I believe it covers your nose only. There are also smaller ones that I have found to be less obtrusive and there of course are larger ones that are full face.

You'll have to check the specs or ask your doctor's office. You could probably get a decent answer if you Googled it or call the company. My doctor's nurse was the one who turned me on to this type of mask. They use them all the time.

Occasionally, I have issues with fogging. But, if you work with the bendable strip on the top of the mask, you can usually eliminate or minimize the fogging. The valve on the mask makes a big difference vs masks that don't have a valve.
