World's First Customizable Face Mask Hits 25 Countries

Totobobo blog said:

The recent H1N1 flu triggered a sudden sales increase for face masks and Totobobo, the first customizable face mask is now hitting 25 countries across the world. The reusable mask is more reliable than N95 masks in determining face seal and this feature is greatly appreciated by parents traveling with young children during this holiday season.

the one looks too funny for me, but way better than the n95 mask.

wow. i want one too... the N95 can be pretty expensive and it's for one time use only. my face quite small so the N95 mask doesn't even fit me very well. end up with lobang all over. can't really keep out the virus.

do u really want to reuse when all the bacteria and germs are trapped in the filter and grow and breed there when you take it off for the day and rewear it the next day?

Hey this mask is anti-virus and the filter can be changed. You can wash it too. I think you can not clean the normal N95 mask that why you assume this also connot?

The filters are replaceable (disposable) and snap into the respirator (mask)

I would love to buy, but there is to be no certification on the website about whether the mask has been proven to keep the H1N1 virus out if worn properly. Dunno whether it really works.
