One of the best ways you can combat sickness and support healthy living is by working to control the air that enters your body and blocking droplets that travel through coughing, sneezing, and talking. You can do this by wearing a mask, a hands-off way to filter out harmful particles in the air.
PM, is short for “particulate matter”, the name for tiny particles in the air that are classified and regulated by the EPA. “PM2.5” means particles that are 2.5 microns in diameter or smaller, which is about 3% the size of a human hair. Particles this size include pollutants, dust, allergens, and other airborne contaminants. The more harmful particles you breathe in, the greater the likelihood that you become sick and vulnerable. The StaySafe filter is designed to keep as many harmful particles as possible out of your lungs.
As COVID-19 continues to spread and deeply impact the global community, choosing to wear a mask goes beyond personal benefits and becomes a commitment to our families and neighbors -- by striving for our own health, we help improve theirs. Estimates suggest that 2% of the world population are asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19, meaning that millions of people likely have the virus, but appear totally healthy.

As people visit essential businesses and exercise outdoors, COVID-19 will continue to spread from those who aren’t showing symptoms or have barely noticeable symptoms. To help stop this virus, we need to prevent the transmission of airborne COVID-19 pathogens with effective face coverings that block the airborne spread of droplets through coughing, sneezing, and talking.
Making your own mask from a t-shirt or towel seems like an easy solution, but most DIY masks simply do not offer effective protection. The CDC is recommending DIY masks for the general public, but this is mainly to combat droplets travelling from somebody coughing, sneezing, or talking.
In reality, handkerchiefs and cloths only filter 10-30% of harmful particles from the air you breathe. DIY masks can also fail to create a tight seal around your nose and mouth, allowing contaminated air to travel around the edges of the mask.
A simple way to make a DIY mask more effective is to add additional layers of protection with a StaySafe filter.

Between 10 percent and 20 percent of U.S. coronavirus cases are health care workers. As doctors and nurses risk their personal safety to fight this pandemic, they need our help to give them every possible chance of staying healthy. KN95 and N95 masks give medical professionals the protection they need, filtering out 95% of harmful particles in the air. Because these masks have such high filtration, they are not needed for the general public, as the average human is not exposed to the same viral load as medical professionals, who spend 12-hour shifts, sometimes longer, in contaminated environments.
To support our healthcare workers, we use every order of our StaySafe masks to donate KN95 masks to hospitals in desperate need of PPE for doctors, nurses, hygienic staff, and the rest of hospital employees who work night and day to keep us safe.
A StaySafe mask uses a StaySafe filter, which effectively removes PM2.5 from the air. Wearing a StaySafe mask with its StaySafe filter gives you multi-layered protection for keeping pollutants and other airborne contaminants out of your lungs. By purchasing a StaySafe mask, you are also saving medical-grade KN95 and N95 masks for our brave healthcare providers who need them the most.
Wearing a StaySafe mask is a simple way to go beyond CDC recommendations by wearing a face covering with additional layers of protection against harmful particles, all while doing your duty of keeping medical-grade masks available for medical professionals.
Every Stay Safe mask works to filter harmful particles and help you stay healthy. By wearing a mask, you also help stop the spread of bacteria among those around you. With your order of a Stay Safe mask, you keep medical-grade masks available for healthcare workers and help us send KN95 masks to those on the front lines of fighting COVID-19.
