Came across these. Seems like a good deal.

They are shrink wrapped in packs of 10 which is nice rather than all loose packed in the box.

From a comment below:

Image on product shows the standard is: T/CTCA 7-2019

According to TGA's guidance(tga.gov.au):

Due to the lack of resistance to fluid penetration, masks designed to certain standards or subclasses of some standards (listed below), may not be suitable for use in medical or surgical settings.
T/CTCA 7-2019
These masks may still be appropriate for use in non-medical/healthcare settings to assist in reducing airborne disease transmission, along with social distancing measures.

4/1: Thanks to forum ninja who purchased the mask, they are listed as GB/T32610-2016. See here for more information.

    12 cents each, if the quality isn't great for own use, still good to give away to people in settings where the other person doesn't have a mask on to reduce exposure for yourself.

      So I will still be handing them out for maskless people to use.

        I received these masks today. The standard is actually GB/T32610-2016.

        It says:
        "This product can not be used as a medical surgical mask"

        The masks are 3 layered. I could not blow out a candle when wearing the mask, the flame did flicker. The outside is slightly waterproof, not very much. The elastic is strong enough to be used for the 4-5 hours duration the mask is good for, but it is pretty weak and a tug will break it off the mask.

        This mask is good for handing out to the unmasked to increase protection to yourself. I would wear a better mask if available, and save the better ones for yourself.

      • forumninja on 02/01/2021 - 17:20
        +22

        Why not?
        If they are not wearing a mask in the first place, having them wear a single use mask (even if poor quality) is still better than letting them spread aerosol around.

      Everyone says that, but I've had no issues with any cheap masks I've bought, they all snap off if you're not gentle enough, especially when removing.

        These ones snap off before you put them on. Half of mine were broken/unusable before I even got to use them and just ended up in the bin. The quality of these ones specifically are legitimately terrible.

            @popsiee: The size of my head doesn't affect the manufacturer's ability to remember to glue things together or avoid gluing masks to the packaging, but if you want to know my head is probably on the smaller side of normal

          I got one from my friend. I tried for my second ear and an elastic was broken. I even didn't had a breath through the mask. Maybe it is from this seller. Otherwise the ones I bought never had an issue. This time I pass this deal by other's negative comments.

    I think this is a good buy, we aren't getting a vaccine before winter (in sufficient quantities) and cases will likely mimic what happened last year, though we should get on top of things quicker because of increased knowledge and plans of action.

        that's just the current rule now.

        imagine, if/when masks become mandatory everywhere,
        the price of masks will only go up then.

        this virus is not going away, whether there is a vaccine or not.
        besides, the vaccine is not the cure.
        it's just to suppress symptoms for the person vaccinated.
        the vaccine will still allow transmission of the virus to everyone.

        so, in which case, mask wearing is going to be part of future life.

    I saw similar ones at Aldi selling the 10packs for $8.99. Glad I didn’t bite. I bought 2 boxes of these instead. These are meant to be single use/disposable so elastic quality won’t be much of a bummer even if the issue is real. On top of that, we don’t know how good are the ones sold elsewhere out there which are often overpriced.

                however CDC says:

                "Using a washing machine
                Include your mask with your regular laundry.
                Use regular laundry detergent and the appropriate settings according to the fabric label."

                "Non-medical, fabric masks can be used by the general public under the age of 60 and who do not have underlying health conditions. "

                they have other guidance on choosing and handling masks what's the point repeating it here
