They work, but fit oddly around the nose.
Other than bus stations airports and planes have to be the most revolting places humans traverse. People yawn, sneeze, and cough without covering their mouths...all in a confined space. Couple that with children being disgusting little germ carriers who vomit all over the place while sitting right next to you. There is nowhere to hide. Having said all that, I highly recommend these masks. As noted in other reviews, I wish I would have used these back when I traveled for work regularly. Don't let pride get in your way: you may look foolish in your own head, but weigh that against getting a cold or flu from some jerk who doesn't sneeze into the crook of his elbow.As other reviews point out, the masks do have a vinegar smell. This is the smell of the chemicals that make the mask function. If you're looking for something without that scent you may as well tie a handkerchief over your face a la an Old West bank robber; it won't protect you from what you're trying to avoid. I knocked a star off the review because of the way the mask fits around your nose. There is a form fitting metal strip that contours to your nose, but I found that the masks have a tendency to slide up my face over time no matter how well your adjust them. One minute the mask is on my nose, the next it is right under my eyes to the point where it interferes with blinking.

although they recommend using one each time you use them
I have cancer and DO NOT need any of these bugs that are making people miserable. CVS had these same ones for around 15.00. I paid less than 10.00 for these. My husband and I both wear them. We wear them several times, although they recommend using one each time you use them. So far so good, knock on wood. Don't want to jinx myself. These have a metal something around the nose area that you can pinch around the top of your nose and the rest of the mask to pull down to below your chin. I have small features for a woman and my husband is a normal sized man and these fit for both of us. These are called viral masks and you WILL have a hard time breathing in them but that well worth the money. Again, thanks Amazon

I won't fly without these masks! :)
I LOVE them :) I will not travel without these again. I kept getting sick after traveling on planes. (was seated next to ill people) THEY WORKED!! I just tested them (both passengers sick sitting next to me and 1 in the row in front of me), and I didn't get sick. So, thankfully I finally got to take a trip without getting sick for weeks afterwards. These are tested and approved. Would recommend for air travel or any occasion where you'll be in closed areas with sick people. They're packaged individually and very thin so you can easily pack them in a purse or even in pants pockets.

Works AND fits
Best working, most comfortable for long wear. Blue side faces out as shown on box. Soft cushie cloth like tubes for loop style ear pieces makes tying a tiny knot a custom fit for this mask.*For fit, place flexible nose band on bridge of nose and gently press, loop ear loops over ears. Grasp bottom of mask, gently pull down NOT completely opening accordion pleats (more open more loose fit). Place each open hands with palm (thumbs facing ears) on each side of nose/under eye area- gently press palms toward each other-think of making a soft/gentle bird beak shape just with soft cloth paper of mask not nose band,push nose band downwards a little so bottom of mask just hits barely under chin. Then gently fiddle around opening more pleats if needed.The lower placement of nose band on bridge of nose equals easier breathing, less fogging glasses, opens up mask place under eye area.This is a durable soft paper mask, each sealed in sturdy plastic transparent package. It has cut down 80% of all my "bugs" coupled with hand sanitizer when I have to go out in public.

Not Socially Popular But Seem to Work
Mainly, I purchased the Curad Antiviral Face Mask because of a news story on the internet I read about an influenza outbreak in various states including mine. A few family members were getting sick so I thought I'd give this product a try Curad being a known brand. My folks did contract the flu and are doing better now. I didn't get sick which I'm grateful. Seemed to have done the job. Face masks aren't socially popular I know so maybe use when necessary. I am in my 60s and don't like getting sick.

Active carbon packs sealed with each individual mask. I wanted some of those, but can't get at them until the masks are needed.

Buena calidad
Ligeramente mejores que los tradicionales que venden en una farmacia. Yo los compré para usarlos mientras camino en la CDMX.
