Earlier today (5th February 2020), the Xiaomi Youpin platform released a protective breathing face mask. The face mask is rated F95 and has been designed for children. It is easier to breathe through than conventional face masks and provides a better fit for Asians.
The F95 face mask is capable of filtering bacteria, viruses, PM2.5 particles, dust and more. The children’s mask has been designed with ages over 6 years old and implements a four layer filtering structure, with air being purified in each layer. This effectively cleanses nearly 95 percent of PM2.5 particles from the air around the user and even arrives with a nano bacterial coating to prevent infection from cuts.
In comparison to traditional face masks, the breathing resistance of the F95 certified mask is way lower than that of a conventional KN95 standard mask. Thus, it is more suitable for children or users of young age. Furthermore, the face mask has been built with Asian faces in mind as the people behind it researched the Asian facial structure to provide a better fit with 3D sealing covering Chinese children’s faces.

The strap of the face mask is also made to be user friendly and features elastic silicone material that is skin friendly. The material makes it easier to wear and allows for the length of the strap to be adjusted as well. For air circulation, the mask lets the airflow circulate in from the left and out from the right.
The left is colored blue while the right is colored red. This leaves less space for air to be trapped on the inside of the mask and ensures smoother breathing. Every part of the face mask can be cleaned and disinfected using a mild detergent, excluding the filter of the mask which needs to be replaced. It is currently available on Xiaomi’s Youping platform online and is priced at 199 Yuan (roughly 29 US Dollars).
