Review: A quality product with some caveats. - Its fairly good at filtration, a little more than the single layer masks available in the local medical store. However, there are some caveats- 1. There is a 'not so mild' smell of some chemical which lingers on for around an hour when first using a mask (each mask can be used for up to 8 hours). This may irritate people with sensitive noses,or allergies. 2. Gaseous fumes (like CNG fumes) which are prevalent in 'non polluting' roads like Delhi, do not seem to be adequately filtered. Similarly petrol fumes also come through. It is difficult to say whether it is an absolute fail or not, but it has to be better than nothing at all. EDIT AFTER 2 WEEKS OF USAGE- After 2 weeks of wearing it in peak traffic, I have made some changes in my review- 1. The initial smell of chemical can be reduced a lot by roughing up the mask before wearing it, and leaving it out of the box for a day. 2. Even though smells, and some fumes do come through, it does seem to have a good effect. The nasal discharges I used to feel when in peak traffic (which then continued for the rest of the day), has dramatically reduced. Though I can't say if it''s successful in filtering CNG fumes or other toxins, it does have an impact. And that is what matters. 3. When wearing it, I found it more effective if the mask is put on the nose and lips without pulling it over the chin (as the product image suggests). That is, it seems to be more effective if you do not stretch out the pleats (folds) on the mask. Leaving the folds as they are, seems to act like a dual layer, which is more effective. Its practical, after all, its my nose which needs the filtration, not my chin or neck. And as long as I am not breathing through my nose, I am fine. 4. I have worn it for up to 12 hours, and it seems to be effective for around 10-12 hours in reality, when the mentioned limit is 8 hours.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life saver for someone with allergies
*by A***T on 17 February 2026*

I have severe allergies and these masks really help A LOT. Nowadays I can't even go out without them on, because the difference is o huge. My allergies flare up without them, make my nose very runny and itch really badly, and makes it very hard to breathe. With these masks, instant relief!! And also, depending on the smell, it can filter out anywhere from 50-90% of it. It filters dust and pollution really well too!
