You may need to try moulding the mask several times to achieve the best fit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"s1\">Moulding feature further enhances protection and comfort for the user.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Better face fitment = better protection<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">PM2.5, a very fine airborne particle, is smaller than 2.5 microns which can be inhaled and travel deeply into our lungs, which may then enter our bloodstream. These particles causes micro inflammation and hardens our blood vessels. Recent studies have showed that the PM2.5 not only triggers diseases in our lungs and other respiratory organs, but also triggers cardiovascular diseases and strokes. Common surgical masks or even a poor fitting N95 mask won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be of much help due to the cunningness of the PM2.5. Ensuring a secured face fit is the first fundamental step towards respiratory protection.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"s1\">Totobobo Mask have three key features for obtaining an optimal face fit.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span class=\"s1\">Sizing : Totobobo Mask is the first and only mask that allows its user to cut to size. If you are not sure, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to risk cutting the real mask. Download this template to test the size using a paper dummy, before proceeding to cut the actual mask.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><address><span class=\"s1\">Fine tuning with heat moulding : The heat moulding process makes it possible for the user to fine tune the fitment of the mask. Small gaps around the nose or under the chin? No worries! Just re-mould the mask and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be able to eliminate, or minimize these gaps. You can re-do this step as many times as you like! Remember to not use boiling to re-mould the mask, otherwise you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll risk destroying the mask. Use warm to hot water around 75C instead. <\/span><em style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"><span class=\"s1\">Another point to note, to check the seal, you should sense negative pressure when inhaling.<\/span><\/em><\/address><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Visual Seal Check (VSC) : Using the transparency of the Totobobo Mask, you can check if the mask is touching the areas below the chin, forming a good deal. If the seal is not optimal, you may fine tune the cutting and moulding of the mask, or simple adjusting the position and tension of the strap to get a better fit.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"s1\">Wearing Comfort<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Comfortable mask improve compliance and protection&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">The heat moulding adjustment allows the mask to be moulded to fit your face snuggly. A good fit is beneficial as it not only provides a good seal, but you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll also feel more comfortable wearing. During inhalation, the process creates a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153sucking\u00e2\u20ac\u009d motion due to the negative pressure, forcing air to enter through the filters. Some users described it as <em>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The mask is breathing with me.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Got a question?
