Does this product protect against pollen allergies? I need a great mask for outdoor pollen allergies. Thank you.

Super Defense Nasal Filter is disposable, very well breathable and is to block particles>1 micron, such as pollen, dust, dander, mold, and germs. It's designed according to the natural shape of your nostrils for comfort and fit with soft medical-grade FDA-approved plastic, BPA- , Phthalate- and Latex free. Super Defense Nasal Filter is designed with cutting-edge electrostatic filter attracts airborne particles for high filter efficiency with a thinner fiber layer, which attracts 97% of pollen/dust/dander/mold, 90% of PM2.5 pollution/germs.

Yes. It makes a huge difference with filtering out pollen. I have severe allergy to pollen and with this I can breathe and just have to keep rinsing it off my skin and hair.

I am not the best test I tried it for just visiting Austin when Cedar pollen is high. The ultra filter may work better, I bought the regular one. The product is not that expensive its worth testing I think. I am not a doctor, but the product makes sense to me. I am going to try the ultra filter. One thing it does open up your nose and I think you get more oxygen. Can't prove it opens up your nose, but it seem to help breathing.

Probably ALL filtering face masks have some kind of breathing resistance. It is a covering, after all. That said, I have found the microfiber Vogmask to be comfortable to wear without too much resistance. I used it cleaning up a very dusty room, had it on for over an hour, and didn't encounter any problems.---Charles Foster Dudley

I don't know about microns, but the filter helps with allergens a lot. I live in the deep South where the pollen is very bad right now. Allergy testing revealed that I am allergic to everything tested except two items. It is wonderful to experience relief.

I honestly haven't noticed that this product works in that capacity at all. It actually hasn't stopped or removed any odor that I have noticed. The one thing I have noticed is that we sneeze less which is great for us with seasonal allergies! :) Hope this helps someone.

I don't know - I'm not trying to relieve allergies with it, only reduce odors, and it does do that. Dust mites are a whole 'nother thing. I think I would get a tabletop air purifier, seal my mattress, things like that - which I should do also but haven't done yet. But these little machines are not very expensive and it might be worth it to try one.

I am not sure, but I use it for dusting and cleaning the litter box. This not recommended, but I reverse the mask, so that the blue side is outside. That seems to filter out a lot of things that would cause me to sneeze or have sinus problems. I hope this helps!

I don't have cat allergies but since moving to the south, Ive had allergies from the extreme pollen. If it could help me with that, I wouldn't be surprised if it helped with cat allergies. I can now drive with the window open.

I have been using these pillows for about five years. I recently purchased a pair for our guest bedroom. I have only bought (and replaced) the quilted pillow covers. I have to say that neither my husband nor I suffers from allergies (nor have we ever), though we live in an area that is awful for many people. I suppose a lot depends on your sensitivity level. I hope this helps a bit.

No, my husband doesn't like it to cover his mouth. They do carry one (on Amazon) that covers both the nose and the mouth which is the type I use. Hope this helps you.

If you use this spray, then blow your nose, it helps clear your nostrils, which relieves itching from dust, etc. It may also help mild allergies, but if you are suffering from severe nasal allergies (as I often do) this doesn't offer much relief. . . I got this to help moisten my nose, and it works well for that.

No. Very breathable so stay cool. Not sure how effect it will be as dust mask. Actually I use it both hot and cold conditions.

They might be. I had to use the medium because my nostrils are very small. They fit me perfect. I would give them a try. I am very allergic to pollen and they worked very well for me.

A face mask is not good for that situation. Close your windows, run a/c and use 3M Allergen furnace filters. Outside avoid the smokers. Good luck.

Fusky, I am not sure because I do not have pollen issues, but we I have 8 people living in an RV and this machine keeps the air fresh and sweet, never musty and stale, so it must pull a lot out of the air. I clean it once a week and there is a lot of dust and stuff on the filter. I am very happy with it.

I would characterize this face shield as a light duty face shield. I'm not sure it would stand up against much wind. Perhaps light breezes would be okay. I use it in woodworking projects to protect my face against flying chips and dust.

I have sensitivities to chemical odors and they do not work for me. These are mostly for filtering submicron particles such as dust and pollen. If you want to filter chemical odors you need something with charcoal in it. I use "Air-Aid" Emergency masks. They are lightweight and have charcoal embedded in the fibers. They are use by police and fire departments and have been tested against chemical and biological weapons. Since I am very chemically sensitive I layer 2 masks on top of each other, but they work for me. Hope this helps.

I am also allergic to dust and have found these masks work great for that issue. I don't have any pets so I can't help you there.
