Does small fit most faces? I plan to spray clorax under the house for mold. Will this mask work?

It mostly depends on the width of your face as to the size, at least that is what I found. I have what most would consider a pretty average - male - face in medium worked fine for me. Make sure you get the right filter for vapors and should be great. I would never go back to a 1/2 mask as the full is so much more comfortable and protects the eyes. Happy spraying. PS, I noticed that you said mold. If there is mold there now make you have a mold filter and please wear a full suit for own good.

I have a large and my fiance has a small. Medium would likely be the most universal size. This will work for spraying chemicals such as clorox, just make sure to get the proper filters. Lysol concentrate ( http://www.amazon.com/Lysol-Brand-Concentrate-Disinfectant-Original/dp/B000P9WR34/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1370649471&sr;=8-1&keywords=lysol+concentrate) works better on mold than bleach, you can pick it up at WalMart.

I have a small face and this mask fits me very good, I use it for wood working, spraying chemicals and mowing due to dust and allergies. I also have a gas mask too but prefer this open face mask. be sure to by the filters as they are separate purchases

I can fit my mouth and nose at the same time. It's got a little cut out to rest your nose on that works perfectly. The bigger mask is to steam your whole face I believe.

I personally wouldn't use this spray on a face mask. It would obscure too much of your vision. I would try a piece of window tint from Wal-Mart that is trimmed to fit and applied on the inside of the face mask closest to your face (and away from scratches) use a little dishsoap and water on the face mask to help it to stick. The results will be even tinting, superior finish and less mess.

It should, I have a larger head and chubby face and it's fits fine, but this mask is a harder type plastic. More for a collection than wearing. I will be purchasing a latex version I found for wearing

Not really, if you want a true fitting mask that gives excellent protection. I bought these hoping they would fit my 5 year old, it is smaller than a standard one but is still a bit gappy - the bottom part goes right over his chin and sits under his jaw. It does actually work OK for keeping out dust and debris, but it is by no means a good seal round the edges, so it wouldnt keep out small particles. It fits me very well, so I guess it is designed for small headed adults rather than kids. I also tried in on my two year old, it covers his entire face! (completely unusable)

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. Looking at this product, there is not an actual mask that goes over your nose. You can put your face close to the product but it shouldn't actually cover your nose area. The steam could possibly burn you. I personally, have not had any feedback about the other unit you were wondering about. I hope this answers your question.

I did not really find any differences in the 'sizes'. I thought I bought 2 sizes, a Med for me, and a Small for my wife. But after using them both, I have yet to find out which is the smaller one. In reality, you must buy it and try it out. If you try it out, just remember to minimize any stubble around the mask / face interface. Also test the seal on the mask... meaning plug the side filter holes (with them off) and inhale. If the mask sticks to your face, you are good to go. If not, they the face / mask seal is bad. Sweat or Vaseline can help make that seal better. After all, that seal provides the filtration benefits you are purchasing the mask for.

The CDC answers it better, see "Mold Prevention Strategies and Possible Health Effects in the Aftermath of Hurricanes and Major Floods". In short, the spores appear to be 2-10 microns so yes and no, 95% of the time. This appears far superior than the basic "non" N95 nuisance mask. I suggest reading their strategies.

When I bought my mask it came with all three sizes. Just look or have someone else and gauge what you think: small,medium, or large nostrils. Medium would work on anyone and you can go from there either up or down.

I believe it will work fine for those applications. I have a beard, and so it doesn't seal as well against my face, but other than that, I love this mask.

I wear a 7 1/8 hat size. The mask fits a little loose but is not noticeable.

This is made for particulate matter so it won't help much. A half face respirator or whole face with disposable filters meant for vapors would be much better. A cheaper niosh mask N 100 or N 95 will help less and must be changed often but something is better than nothing. The valve in the mask you asked about lets odor and some vapors in. The best beside the respirator as for smelling it are the blue N95 in the least expensive area. I'm surprised her employer does not provide this.

Depends on how large the head is. Just make sure you ask for the adult size mask.

I just used a paper mask with metal nose clamp... It worked for short exposure. You probably need respirator if you do it more often.

No! This mask is non functional for actual use, just a good prop for such occasions as Halloween.

On fitted size hats I'm 7 3/4. It fit my face well. Nice seal. But head size isn't everything for fit on a mask.

I have a small nose and the nosepiece acted like a window for light. The mask was completely ineffective at blocking light for me. However, I had no problem returning it. Little noses, this may not be for you.
