I looked a week ago and it looked like they were fairly available but didnt order. Today I decided to order a box of disposable masks. I did a google search under the shopping heading. Got a message back the quantities were limited so they werent showing suppliers. Wish Id have ordered last week.

(2,232 posts)They have 3 ply disposable masks available. I just bought a box of 50 to stock up. They also have isopropyl alcohol in case you cant find hand sanitizer or Lysol. Youll need to create an account but its easy to do.

(5,652 posts)Each of them are reputable websites. I've ordered from Wyze and Woodworkers Express before. Zoro used to be Zoro Tools and you can get some serious face masks there. Selby Hardware Co has been around for a long time and specializes in furniture hardware, but they have added masks and it looks like they even have had them certified (there is a certificate on their page).

(90,978 posts)... (wipes for your cart, etc) they also had items for sale that included boxes of disposable masks. I thought that $20 for 20 disposables was a bit pricey, but as I had not been able to find them except at Amazon, I took a box for hubby, who refuses to wear any other kind.
Amazons prices for disposables swing wildly and I could not tell one brand from another. What I ended up getting for myself was a 5-pack of basic white washables by VTER.
Anyway, give BB&B a call.
A Vista Print ad for cloth masks popped up on my screen, so I checked them out. They are very good looking, have a pocket for a filter, and are washable. But at $18 apiece, if I buy one or two it will be for special occasions.

(43,049 posts)have the same.
7-11's have bags of 5 to 10 cheap.
And, yeah, drugstores, Walmart, Mart... they all got 'em, but sometimes they run out.

(13,645 posts)Then I decided I didn't really need them, because that was the word early on for awhile. I was too late to cancel the order or I would have. It took awhile, but they showed up. I gave a few away, but still have a bunch.
I only have one on for about two hours a week tops. I just leave it on the console of my truck and use it again. I'll only toss one if it gets dirty. The 50 I got should last me a long time and may need to.

(5,184 posts)I want the titanium model the N95 or KN95 I think that is what it is called.
I have disposable masks that look like layers of Kleenex, and I have cloth models that probably do not help like the higher grade is supposed to.
I have to take a plane ride (don't really want to, but it does seem like I may actually have to take the trip) in another 30 to 60 days,
and I want the best mask to face the less than social distancing situation. Also, I really do not feel like the aircraft circulation system is doing its best job.
I have sheltered in for the past 3 months with only shopping or doctor visits, but now I am facing a different circumstance soon.
I need the best mask out there.

(4,216 posts)Lots of people are making them, our oldest is one. Longer lasting than the disposable kind and with the proper materials can be N95 standard.
