[Aminsg]

Hello guys, thingking to buy in bulk for orphans and personal use. But want to know the quality first before buying. and it is better if uguyss can recommend what brand is good.

I would definitely suggest Medicos talking about the quality, safety and comfortability 
I have no problem wearing it whole day

When come to facemask quality, it is important to know about their BFE and PFE
Basically, only masks with >95% measured by BPE & PEF considered as "medical" masks.

BFE (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency): BFE measures how well the medical face mask filters out bacteria.
PFE (Particulate Filtration Efficiency):PFE measures how well a hospital mask filters sub-micron particles with the expectation that viruses will be filtered in a similar manner. (The size of the coronavirus is approximately 0.125 microns).

So before purchasing make sure to check this 2 values

Not only that, facemask which have tested with ASTM will have categorized as Type I, TYPE II and Type III.
Type II and Type III will provide you the best protections as BFE (bacteria Filtrations Effectiveness) will reach 98% and above.

Firstly would like to say thank you for buying it for orphans 
You may look for kids mask but do take note of the quality
Better to have BFE/PFE >98% as kids are more weak than adult

I am still kind of blur about the BFE/PFE and Type I, II, III, so which should i look for?
Can suggest any brands?

Okay let me explain more about it

ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) ASTM is one of the trusted quality test which grade the facemask. In order to have the grade, ASTM need to full fill the followings
BFE - Measures how well the medical face mask filters out bacteria.
PFE - Measures how well a hospital mask filters sub-micron particles with the expectation that viruses will be filtered in a similar manner.
Fluid resistance - Reflects the surgical mask’s ability to minimize the amount of fluid that could transfer from the outer layers through to the inner layer.
ISO Certification - All medical face masks must be tested to an international standard (ISO10993-5, 10) for skin sensitivity and cytotoxic tests to ensure that no materials are harmful to the wearer.

Facemask which have tested with ASTM will have categorized as Type I, TYPE II and Type III
Type II and Type III will provide you the best protections as BFE > 98%

Hope this is clear for you

Wah~~ buy a mask also got some many thing to learn, like attending a class
For me I just buy it from pharmacy like watson, guardian those
