ChTTay Posted November 14, 2015 at 12:46 PM Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 at 12:46 PM Hi All, Now that summer seems to be over and the blue skies gone with it ... I am going to make sure I've got some pollution masks for heavy days. All of the 3M masks fit me well. They are well sealed and I can breath without any problems. However, my girlfriend's nose is very small (She's Chinese) and the masks don' fit well over her nose. Essentially there is just a huge gap at the top of the mask. Whereas when I wear on the top of the mask fits well over the bridge of my nose. An advantage of having a "big nose" I guess Anyway, can anyone recommend any brand of mask or type of 3M mask that would be better? I have seen quite a few Chinese women wearing 3M 9322 and it look's okay. It's hard to tell though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted November 14, 2015 at 12:58 PM Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 at 12:58 PM An advantage of having a "big nose" I guess. I got "corrected" some time back for referring to my foreign nose as 大鼻子。The Chinese person I was talking with cracked up laughing and said I should call it 高鼻子 instead, because 大鼻子 conjured up something grotesque like a potato. Anyone else heard anything about that? Jackie Chan and Gerard Depardieu come up when I do a "big nose" Baidu search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcdefg Posted November 14, 2015 at 01:46 PM Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 at 01:46 PM Sorry, I don't have any mask recommendations. Was just fooling around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted November 14, 2015 at 03:30 PM Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 at 03:30 PM I am not in Beijing and I have never experienced smog levels so bad I would wear a mask, however it occurred to me maybe a child's mask would fit better. I found this site, they even seem to be very fashionable http://vogmask.cn/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChTTay Posted November 15, 2015 at 01:56 AM Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 at 01:56 AM It has occurred to me briefly as well but ... She is an adult sized adult. The main problem is she has a typically "Chinese nose". Not much of a bridge. Kid masks would be too small I think . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huina Posted November 15, 2015 at 04:13 AM Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 at 04:13 AM My nose is pretty small (Chinese blood lol) and the Aura 9221+ fits really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChTTay Posted November 15, 2015 at 04:23 AM Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 at 04:23 AM Sounds great! I can't seem to find that brand on Taobao/Amazon. Where did you buy it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted November 15, 2015 at 01:42 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 at 01:42 PM Vogmask seemed to have 4 sizes, did you have a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted November 16, 2015 at 01:48 AM Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 at 01:48 AM Have you tried the 3M mask 9001V series? It has an adjustable metal clip to secure the hold on one's nose. http://item.jd.com/1098346.html 3M 口罩 KN90 防颗粒物呼吸器 有呼气阀 3只/包 9001V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChTTay Posted November 16, 2015 at 02:11 AM Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 at 02:11 AM This is the mask I use ... it's too big for her. The metal clip goes over the bridge of your nose and, for me, works perfectly. For her though there is just a big gap there regardless how much you bend the clip.

gato Posted November 16, 2015 at 02:49 AM Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 at 02:49 AM I see. There is also a child-size version you can try. http://item.jd.com/1624899291.html 3M 9003v 儿童透气防尘防雾霾 PM2.5 带呼吸阀折叠式口罩 9003V耳戴式1只 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChTTay Posted November 16, 2015 at 02:00 PM Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 at 02:00 PM Thanks for the help. Child sizes are too small. She isn't smaller than any other Chinese girl I'd say... it's just the problem I mention above about it not sealing at the top. Huina's recommendation looks the best bet.
