I Want A Second Opinion On If I’m Wearing My
Question: I want a second opinion on if I’m wearing my N95 mask correctly. I’m concerned about the chin gap. I can provide photos. Thank you!
Brief Answer:
Looks fine.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your photos.
You are using a standard N-95 mask and it looks fine to me. There is not much gap in the chin region.
You can try breathe in after occluding the nose portion of the mask and check whether there is any air leak through the chin region. If there is significant air leak you can use a different size mask.
Thanks
