8 Disposable Masks to Buy Before They Sell Out

A quality KN95 mask is one of the next best things you can get to an N95 mask (which, sorry, are still reserved for healthcare workers). Vida’s KN95s block 95% of airborne particles 0.3 microns or larger. They also have five layers of protection and a flexible nose wire for that perfect fit. Choose between white, black, cyan, gray, and coral colors.

Prefer a surgical-style mask? This pack from Ztanps is an Amazon bestseller. It features masks in a classic blue or sleek black shade—your choice. Each mask offers three layers of protection and a soft nose wire to help perfectly mold your mask to your face.

Powecom’s KN95 masks repeatedly sell out, and with good reason: They’re on the Food and Drug Administration’s list of emergency use authorized PPE. Powecom’s masks filter out up to 95% of airborne particles, and have a moldable nose wire to help you get a snug fit. Fans also swear they’re lightweight and comfortable to wear.

Modacare’s surgical masks are authorized by the FDA for use in healthcare settings, so they should do a pretty solid job protecting you at the grocery store. Enjoy three layers of protection and a soft, breathable fabric that you can barely feel. A bendable metal nose strip helps you get a solid fit.

While not as well-known in the U.S. as N95s and KN95s, KF94s are the Korean equivalent of the N95. They’re crafted from four layers of polypropylene for solid filtration, but feel comfortable and lightweight on your face. A cool feature these masks have that KN95s don’t: You can easily tighten the ear loops with straps by the front of the mask.

Evolve Together masks are designed to be taken on the go. Each pack comes with a “mask keeper” that allows you to easily fold up your mask into a neat square, where it stays protected until you’re ready to use it. The surgical style masks are hypoallergenic and latex-free, and 10% of each mask sold works to restore waterside forests in the Pacific Northwest to help protect migrating orcas.

Got little ones on your shopping list? Aihou’s surgical-style masks come in a slew of fun patterns kids gravitate toward, including hearts, planets, and stars. An adjustable nose wire lets the kiddos get a snug fit, too.

Tossing a disposable mask in your bag means you’ll have an extra one in case of emergency, but it also leaves it vulnerable to attracting lint and other gunk lurking around in there. Mystcare’s three-layer masks come individually wrapped, making them easy to grab and go. Choose from a slew of different colors, including yellow, pink, purple, green, and a variety pack.
