The children’s mask with a seal you can actually see
Trimmed to fit your child’s face, transparent so you can check the seal at a glance – because a mask that leaks at the edges isn’t protecting anyone.
Fits ages 5+ · Washable and reusable · Replaceable filters
F96 filter: 99.86% particle filtration efficiency at 0.1 micron, verified by Nelson Laboratories.
A quantitative fit test on a 5-year-old demonstrated a proper seal is achievable on a child’s face. See the test.
TotoSoft elastomer, tested to FDA biocompatibility standards and gentle on delicate skin. Full test report.
Filter grades range from F92 to Pro99; the figure above refers to the F96 grade. Real-world protection depends on both the filter and the seal on the face – see a decade of independent research on filtration and fit.
Good protection = a good seal + a good filter
Certified filters block pollutants – but on a child’s smaller face, getting a proper seal is the hard part. A poor seal lets polluted air and viruses slip in from the sides, defeating the mask entirely. The transparent design lets you visually confirm the seal every single time.
Surgical masks: gaps at the sides
Designed to catch the wearer’s droplets, not to filter inhaled air. The side gaps let fine dust and germs straight through, especially on small faces.
N95s: made for adult faces
Excellent filtration but only when properly fitted, which is nearly impossible on a child without professional test equipment. Even trained adults fail fit tests up to 25% of the time.
Totobobo: trim, fit, verify
Trim the mask to match your child’s face, then check the seal through the transparent body. No equipment needed, just your eyes.

Parent questions
Is it suitable for kids under 5?
The mask is designed for ages 5 and above to ensure a secure, effective seal. Some children under five with larger facial features may fit, but it will not fit toddlers or infants. Always make sure young children can remove the mask by themselves if they feel any discomfort or difficulty breathing.
How often should I replace the filters?
For daily use in moderate pollution, every 1–2 weeks. In heavy pollution or during flu season, change them more frequently. Visibly darkened filters are a clear signal they’ve been doing their job.
Does the transparent mask fog up?
Some minor fogging can occur in the central area, but the edges are designed to remain clear – that’s the part that matters, because it lets you check the seal at all times.
What is the mask made from, and is it safe?
Our proprietary TotoSoft elastomer, tested to FDA biocompatibility standards. It is soft, skin-friendly and safe for prolonged wear. Review the full component test report.
Can it help reduce viruses as well as pollution?
When fitted properly, the filters trap fine airborne particles including pollutants, allergens and virus-sized aerosols. See the independent filter test reports. A mask is one layer of protection, not a guarantee – follow your doctor’s advice for health decisions.
How do I fit and care for it?
See our guides: how to customize the mask for your child, how to check the seal without fit-test equipment, and how to wash the mask for reuse.

Totobobo mask is known for its low breathing resistance, thanks to the hightech filters. In situation where respirator protection is needed for children, Totobobo mask is the best choice right now. Always consult your doctor when in doubt.
Since respirators increases breathing resistance,wouldn’t this be bad for children use.
Totobobo fits children from 5 years old onwards. Some younger children may also fit depends on individual face size. But it never fit a 10 month old infant.
When fitting the mask to young children, make sure they are able to remove the mask by themselves if they feel uncomfortable or any difficulty to breath.
