Dust masks; are any comfortable to wear?

[Folly's place]

So that's my question. I wear the disposable N95 masks from the paint department, as an effective product. I have never bought and tried everything out there, and in general, the respirators I've worn have not been fun to wear. Anyone have opinions and a least difficult but effective dust mask to recommend? Mary

I wouldn't consider them comfortable, but Foy's Pigeon Supply sells a very effective canister type mask. Without it I would never have been able to keep my pigeons.

Canister respirator(particle and carbon) with soft face contact....
...not comfortable per se but seals well...which is key, IMO.
Most the disposable ones don't fit my face...which is uncomfortable.

Bought 2 of them 20 years ago to blow insulation into attic.
Used it for mixing concrete for sculpture work and silicone mold making for same.
Very effective for dust and odor.
