MASK 101: BEGINNERS TIPS

If you do wear two masks, why would you reverse the second one to have the fluid-absorption side on the outside? It seems to me that it would be better to have the fluid-resistant side on the outside.

It makes sense that two masks would be better than one mask at blocking larger particles, but it seems to me that wearing two masks would make it harder to breathe. It would also be more costly and not as convenient. I don't care what the color is on the outside. If I want to wear just one mask, do I always wear the white side against the face? Would I wear the mask the same way if I had COVID-19 or if I were a healthcare worker? In other words, no matter what the circumstances, do I always wear the mask with the white side against the face if I wear just one mask?

If you just want to wear one mask, we suggest you purchase our KN95 mask instead

@Daniel Lin I don't have to wear a mask very often and I have a lot of the ones I have already purchased. I just want to know how to wear those masks properly. I don't want to purchase KN95 masks. It looks like you are saying that the proper way to wear just one of the masks that I already have is to wear the white side against the face. If I end up getting COVID-19 and do not want to spread it to others in my household, should I still wear the mask with the white side against my face (assuming I want to wear just one mask)?

Thank you. If I had COVID-19 and was trying not to spread it to others, would I still have the "white-side" against the face? Do healthcare workers treating patients always have the "white-side" against the face? Why is the picture of the woman on the outside of the box shown with a mask that is white on the outside? Is that because she is supposed to be a healthcare worker and that is the way they are supposed to wear them? I want to know if there are situations when the "white-side" should be on the outside.
