plenty, scared no money only

U turn came earlier than I expected. Whoever came out with the original deadline probably didn't take into account of the existing stock in the market or its impact with only 3 months to go.

More U-Turn coming 😅

Employees, art lovers and craft masters who produce fabric face masks need not be upset with the government's announcement regarding plans to require the material to be certified and get the MS SIRIM stamp.

Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said she was aware of the concerns of the artisan community but assured that her ministry will discuss the matter with the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry first.

Tried the Medicos NEO m99 (but kf94 shaped), definitely the best local kf94-equivalent mask. It's super soft inside and the earloops are sturdy & aren't itchy like Neutro. It has a strong scent when open package and i may be allergic to it (nose feels funny) but got to evaluate a few more. Pretty cheap too.

Skipped the Medicos FLIP as reviews say it is on larger side. The NEO fits alright on small-med woman face no gaps. $24.90 from farmasi or $75 for box of 3 from Medicos online.

For smaller head or can use for large head like my family member? I mean did your hubby try it? Just wondering 🤔

I tried this week 2 days so far. Will ask him test out soon but think for big head/face like him cannot as for me it is a perfect fit. With GM kf94 it is a little roomier on me but for him it's at the limit to be usable - but doesn't move if he yawn, chew gum or talk.

Gonna test the Medicos PRO this week also, unsure of the difference between PRO and NEO?

Maybe try the Medicos FLIP as the Lazada reviews mention it is larger than usual. No one mention about PRO/NEO on that matter. Some pharmacies sell singles of them near the cashier, they are all pre-packaged inside the box in clear/matte sealed wrapper ... so hygienic enough to grab one to test out.

Edit
- Medicos PRO is more expensive, and has the adjustable loop near the earloop like Bluna kf94, reviews say thicker material
- Medicos NEO is like regular kf94
- Medicos FLIP is 2D/bird type, runs large as no S, M, L sizes unlike Korean brands

Update - got hubby to try and both PRO and NEO fits him. It's like GM kf94 size that fits a range but fits the smaller end faces better. The nose wire isn't as stiff as korean kf94 so perhaps that's why. It doesnt seem to let air out despite that. The earloops are pretty amazing, super comfy & not rough ... someehow have give without letting it gape. Have to test for extended wear. Tbh it looks like i may be allergic to the material or whatever on the interior as the moment put on the NEO it does something to my nose. I'm extremely sensitive (even certain 3M mask can react) so your results may vary.

Update 2 - PRO is bigger than NEO, there is a gap at bottom for smaller face but it can be tightened with the adjustable loop (similar to Bluna but it sticks out hella lot). The shape is better than new version of Bluna that rides high towards the eyes. The loop isn't as strong/tight as Bluna but it does cinch the mask into the face. The problem then with small face + cinching is that it the fabric starts to touch the lip area. The fabric is also thicker so breathability is worse. I will skip the PROs.

The Medicos NEO is alright (allergy-wise) if open package and let it air out for a few days. The color i tried was teal so other dye/color might be different. It lasts a few usages (driving car few hours a day for few days) .... the earloop lasts, didn't stretch out or break.

Mask mandate gonna stop already wo, still want to buy masks ah?

Personally i'm still gonna keep wearing for awhile. Gonna stock up some vented n95 for travels especially since they gonna drop price if less people buy masks.

Well, he's not wrong tho. Lol!

Need to refill my KF94 supply soon. Was initially using the 100 GM KF94 when it was very cheap, but looks like no sales now. Any recommendations?

what is the cheapest available legit kf94 on the market now? no more -50 from 11street.. stock running out

I will only buy 3m or Honeywell ones.

when will the good times return?

I prefer medicos neo than good manner. more soft and the ears won't hurt when worn for a long time

for me its all about price. there are plenty of better masks than good manner but to get them at 60 to 90 cents each....thats my main attraction

I bought fake KF94, received today

Bought Arte brand beak type from Korea Pavilions (Lazada)
Received this instead. NO where on the packaging says KF94 approved by their FDA. Went back to Lazada to read, they dont even mention Arte brand on the title, and description says No Brand.

Bought 20 twice. Came in 5 in 1 pack. Shit I got another 20 on its way.

Is the package ship frm Korea? If its frm Korea at least its not as bad as frm elsewhere at least. You should give it a real review with photos regarding their false advertising
