Today whilst shopping in Coles at Middle Camberwell they are sellng 50pk of Softmed disposable face masks discounted from $45 to $36. These are white 3ply and described as Fluid resistance and single use only. The pack doesn't list any BFE % nor any certifications(ARTG 333133, level 3). Probably not the best form a protection however may be a decent alternative to material options many people are wearing. According to the Softmed site this product is certified. These may be older stock as the expiry date is 2022

I recently bought a similar product from MyChemist for $44.10 during a 10% weekend deal, it's now listed as $49. The sale listing on their website lists the product certifications. The pack I received from MyChemist clearly indicated BFE>99% and lists an expiry of 2025 on the packaging, so appears to be newer stock. If you are looking for the certified option the MyChemist alternative may be better. Free shipping for over $50, otherwise $8.95. Woolworths also sell a product for $40/50pieces which could be another one to consider. I've not seen it in store so may be hard to come by.

    Fluid resistance 160hhMg

    Is that supposed to be "160 mm Hg"?

    • Revrnd on 26/07/2020 - 21:59

      lol. yeah, and I just googled "160hhMg" and it looks like these things are sold under various brands and all refer the same TGA approval number.

    I hate to see the worlds landfill after this pandemic…..masks everywhere :(

    • netjock on 26/07/2020 - 21:05

      The same reason we got to this pandemic in the first place. Disposable stuff is too cheap because it doesn't include the full cost (dealing with disposal and environment) in the price. + lazy people.

    I just bought a box of 50 from aldi for $29.99.

      I'm returning 2 boxes of the aldi ones.

      I got a box that had mask ear loops that were brown. Ie dirty.

      No way am I trusting they were made in a remotely clean environment.

        Wow that's messed up. Though I did notice that none of the boxes were sealed. It was a bit of a mess.

          about to open mine to see too then…

          • Munki on 27/07/2020 - 09:45

            @capslock janitor: I opened mine to have a look and they seemed fine to me. The sticker on my box didn't look like it had been opened though.

        • kiitos on 27/07/2020 - 15:29

          Same here, all boxes were crushed, loose seal, or both. The wording on the box was of too, something like "for recreational use"

        • thargelios on 28/07/2020 - 14:05

          Yeh. Finally upload the image.

          You can see here, on the side.
