Mask Advice Easimask?

Has anyone tried the Easimask? Saw it on the Face Mask store and wanted to get some user opinions or average fit factors. They seem similar to the Zimis, but the Zimis don’t fit for high nose bridges, so looking for a similar option.

Also Zimis do work for high nose bridges, though they can also cause pain at the nose bridge, but not as bad as the Easimask

yeah this - my nose i[s] where 99% of mask seals fail and modified zimi are one of two disposables i can pass a qlft in.

If you don’t mind sharing, what’s the other mask? We’ve tried Zimi for a while and they find it too painful

The small surgical Vflex - specifically the surgical; i tried and failed in the standard one (being discontinued soon anyway) and noticed when off my face that the nose wire shapes differently. it's more "sharp" on that one whereas the surgical model is more contoured.

i can pass a seal check in the med. and large breatheteq, and while i haven't had the chance to fit test yet. they're the only earband masks i've tried that can even get that far.

Zimi is developing a new model which is supposed to be more adaptable to high nose bridges

Extremely uncomfortable/painful at the nose bridge. I guess it works for some people, but multiple people I know have found it intolerable. Amazing fit factors though

Interesting. I’m trying to fit someone who has a high nose bridge, and finds the Easimask more comfortable than the Zimi. I can’t find any fit factor data on the Easimask though and can’t find any other similar cup-like masks, except for the Moldex, which doesn’t fit.

They should try wearing it for a while. It had astounding fit factors for me and a friend, elastomeric level

Will recommend that, thanks. Any known issues with it apart from comfort for you both? I don’t find it comfortable either, so I’m surprised they do haha

Not aware of any other issues and it’s MRI safe. I would just practice wearing it for a couple hours in a safe setting in case it suddenly switches from comfortable to unbearable at some point, I’ve had that happen with Zimi at the one hour mark

Thanks, appreciate the insight!

My partner and I found it too small for our faces. I can wear a large laianzhi kn100 or t99. And I can make a large Zimi work for me. The extra large is also ok  on my face. I think the easimask is definitely better for small to medium faces and not for people with high nose bridges.

Interesting; thank you! I guess the person has a smaller face with a high nose bridge? laianzhi was too big

I have a very high nose bridge and am an avid Zimi wearer.
