I recently went to a couple of conferences where there were several gentlemen with larger faces who complained about not having masks that they felt comfortable in. All of them were wearing ill-fitting KN-95 with ear loops.
With my well-fitting KF-94s, I often forget I'm wearing a mask because they're breathable and comfortable, and with some adjustment I can keep my glasses from getting fogged up. Comfortable and breathable masks make it so much easier to keep a mask on.
As a reminder:
N-95 are the US gold standard of masks with the loops that go around the head. If you don't want something on your ears, that's what you should go with. These tend to be made for larger faces because they were originally intended for construction workers who are mostly male.
KN-95 are usually in clamshell form and have loops that go around your ears. They're generally made in China and there are a lot of fake masks out there.
KF-94 is the South Korean standard. These tend to have higher quality control because the Korean government gives large fines to companies that don't meet their standard. They are usually over the ears and in boat shape, which I find to be more breathable than the clamshell mask.
When we're flying or he's going to the doctor's office or otherwise needs an N95, his preferred N95 is the
3M VFlex N95. This is the most goofy looking of the 3M N95 lineup, but it is also extremely breathable and pretty comfortable. He's also fine with the standard 3M N95 and the Honeywell N95, but the VFlex is so incredibly breathable that we bought a box of 50 and never use the others anymore. (We've also had some problems with the head straps on the Honeywell breaking off.)
