They cost a lot less if you buy them in larger quantities from a bulk distributor. I get them for 1.50 each.

  Yep, and they've gone up... they were about $1.20/ea when I bought my last batch. I've been buying them from ISP: https://www.industrialsafetyproducts.com/3m-9210-aura-n95-particulate-respirator-niosh-approved/ https://www.industrialsafetyproducts.com/3m-9210-aura-n95-pa... (As a bonus, they have the 9210, which has better straps, retail you generally only see the 9205, which is ok too, but the straps are just rubber bands and they don't fit as securely.

    The Auras are great to wear but the straps on the 9205s really are flimsy and often fail after only a couple uses. 9210 is worthwhile if you can get them.

      I'm glad I found this thread!

      Yeah, I dunno why 3M even makes the 9205 TBH, the 9210 is just so much better, and while the 9210 are harder to find, when you can there doesn't seem to be a meaningful price difference.
