A mask that I don't hate wearing. EASY BREATHING.

In this video, I talk about a very unique face mask that aims to address the following common complaints about masks: untested efficacy, physical discomfort with prolonged use, discomfort related to breathing resistance, irritant contact dermatitis, muffled speech, and fogging of glasses.

I'm so frustrated to report that Airgami is actually going out of business. I'm happy to report though that I've found two suitable replacements for those of us interested in breathability: the Moldex 4600 Airwave and the 3M VFlex. Don't take it from me alone: Aaron Collins (aka Mask Nerd) tested and recommended these both among his top masks of 2023. A caveat: Moldex masks don't fit everyone. The M/L size of the 4600 fits me AMAZINGLY - I have a long face and high nose bridge. The 3M VFlex probably fits more people, but isn't as aesthetically pleasing. I still love it though. Check out Aaron Collins channel if you want more recommendations.

Informative video. Love your voice and delivery. Great demonstration of the Airgami mask. Very important content as the COVID-19 pandemic isn't over and we need to protect ourselves and those around us from transmission of the SARS-NCOV-2 virus. Masks do work!

Thanks so much! I agree.

Nice informative videos

[@HealthyHomeGuide]

Glad you think so!

Thank you for this video. I wear a FFP3 (in a classic N95 design) with a foam nose bridge and I get a tight seal by using the ear loops hook. I'm intrigued to try the airgami. It looks very promising and it comes in a variety of colors which is cool. A small correction: aerosols is the main mode of transmission of airborne pathogens.

Glad you found it useful! FFP3s are sleek and comfortable - my girlfriend likes those. I personally prefer the undyed (white) airgami - I wonder if the dyed ones give off VOCs. Anyway, good luck!

This is a great video! I came here for an informative review after seeing Airgami will be ramping down production! 😢 i love the way these look! My husband has a longer face and high nose bridge -- this mask gives me hope!! Are there any other standouts for that face shape in your opinion? Thanks again, I'll be ordering! 😷

[@HealthyHomeGuide]

Thanks for watching 🙂 Where do you see that they’re ramping down production? I couldn’t find anything about that on any of their socials or their site. As far other masks that fit a longer face, I know there are others, but I haven’t tried any. Aaron Collins (aka Mask Nerd) tests a bunch - I think he knows some!

Have heard of the Airgami. Recently picked up a case of Moldex Airwave 4600 N95. They are also slightly pleated with EZ air resistance, except they have a horrible rubbery scent I can’t get used to. I pretty just use duckbills from 3M, Gerson,and Kimtech.

[@HealthyHomeGuide]

I’ve been meaning to try the Airwave 4600 so that’s good to know about the rubbery smell. Update: if I air out the Airwave for a day or so, the smell dissipates fairly quickly. I recommend airing out new masks before wearing. The 3M VFlex (duckbill) also has a smell initially.

Make us a less expensive option please

[@HealthyHomeGuide]

Hahah maybe someday 🙂

[@nacho5830]

That would have been neat in 2020 or 2021. Breathability never was an issue for me, though.

[@HealthyHomeGuide]

I respect that. Thanks for watching anyway!
