These uncertified KN95 masks are in stock and only cost $1.95

By

If you’ve been shopping for personal protective equipment (PPE) face masks, you know high prices and inventory shortages factor in what you can buy. Mask types vary in their protection level, comfort, and cost. Amidst the general market confusion, family-owned and Dallas-based Well Before (formerly Honest PPE Supply) has emerged with personal protection equipment (PPE) inventory in stock at the best prices we’ve seen, including the KN95-Everyday Use mask for only $1.95 each.

Well Before’s KN95 – Everyday Use mask is an affordable alternative for casual use to more expensive and harder to find certified KN95 masks. Well Before’s KN95 -Everyday Use masks are not recommended for medical use because they don’t have FDA and CE certifications. They do, however, give you better protection than square cloth masks or 3-ply surgical disposable masks. On sale for at $1.95 each in lots of 10 or more masks – marked down from $5 apiece – KN-95 Everyday Use face masks are in stock and ship in 24 hours.

The KN95-Everyday Use masks are made with four to five layers of non-woven, breathable fabric. The masks are skin-friendly and soft and appropriate to use as dust masks. They have elastic ear loops so they’ll stay in place, unlike many cloth masks that have two sets of ties that can easily come undone.

The most significant difference between KN95-Everyday Use masks and disposable 3-ply masks is the dual protection with KN95-Everyday Use masks. Three-ply disposable surgical style masks protect other people from the person wearing the mask because anything the mask-wearer exhales, through nose or mouth, has to pass through the 3-ply filters. The 3-ply masks, however, don’t have airtight seals around the edges to protect the wearer from inhaling airborne particles expelled by other people. You wear a KN95-Everyday Use mask to protect yourself and others, not just people who move close to you or walk through spaces you just left.

You can use KN95-Everday Use masks to protect against air pollutants, pollen, allergens, and dust particles, but they are not recommended for toxic environments. These masks are perfect for trips to the grocery store or pharmacy, walking outside, and running on errands around town.

KN95- Everyday Use masks are for civilian use, not as medical masks, and they don’t replace gas masks. You also shouldn’t wash the masks, which are intended to be disposable.

Well Before also sells FDA- and CE-registered KN95 masks at competitive prices – $2.95 versus the more typical $10 each – as well as 3-ply FDA and CE-registered masks and hand sanitizers.

According to Home PPE Supply, the company has a significant inventory of KN95-Everyday Use masks in stock. At the low $1.95 price per mask, however, it’s a good idea to order sooner rather than later in case demand outstrips supply.

These KN95 masks are in stock and cost just $3

Unfortunately, with face masks in such high demand, we've seen our fair share of masks at prices which seem a little inflated -- and worse yet, way too many scams. But that's not the case with Texas-based Well Before (formerly Honest PPE Supply); the company currently has KN95 masks in stock and is selling them for just $3 apiece.

That's a fraction of the price we've seen elsewhere -- some charge as much as $10 per mask. While these are not the same masks as preferred in a healthcare setting (that's an N95 mask), they offer similar protection -- filtering out about 95% of contaminants. And, these KN95 masks are FDA and CE registered. If you're not concerned about FDA's approval, Well Before sells these uncertified KN95 masks even cheaper at $2.20 apiece.

People with diabetes will have an easier time getting insulin into their bodies with just one tap on their phone. The Food and Drug Administration has cleared the first-ever smartphone app developed by Tandem Diabetes Care to program insulin dosage for its t:slim X2 insulin pump users.

Tandem Diabetes Care, a leading insulin delivery and diabetes technology company, based in California, made the historic announcement on Wednesday, saying that its app is the first app for both Android and iOS capable of delivering insulin from a smartphone. Insulin delivery previously had to be conducted from the pump alone.

ClipDart is an on-demand barber app aimed at people of color
ClipDart founder, Kyle Parker.

It’s funny how we can take certain things for granted, like haircuts. Over the course of more than 50 years of living in different cities, different neighborhoods, or even visiting different countries, not once have I ever worried about whether I could find someone who could cut my hair the way I liked. Then again, I’m white.

But if you’re a person of color, it can be an entirely different experience. That’s what Kyle Parker discovered when he left his hometown of Chicago in 2013 to attend Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, population 9,031. While 24% of Grinnell College’s students identify themselves as people of color, fewer than 10% of residents of the city of Grinnell would say the same of themselves.
