Preparing for Singapore’s hazy days means choosing a respirator that fits, as well as deciding between cup-shaped, fold-flat and duckbill designs. These nine options give you different shapes and sizes to compare. Before buying, check the seller’s credentials, model number, NIOSH approval details and expiry date, then follow the manufacturer’s fitting instructions.
1. Benehal MS6115L N95 Cup-Shaped Respirator
The Benehal MS6115L is a NIOSH-approved N95 respirator with a moulded cup shape and head straps. It is an option for those who prefer a pre-formed mask rather than a design they have to unfold before putting on.
The straps go around your head, so take time to check their positioning when trying it. Match the MS6115L model marking on the respirator with the packaging details, and check how the cup sits around your nose, cheeks and chin.

2. 3M 8210 N95 Cup-Shaped Mask
The 3M 8210 is a NIOSH-approved N95 respirator with a classic cup shape, two head straps and an adjustable nose clip. Its pre-formed design makes it a useful starting point when comparing how different cup-shaped models sit on your face.
For the Singapore-made option specified here, check the country-of-origin marking on the actual box. Confirm that the model is 8210, and try the fit before committing to several boxes for the household.

3. 3M Aura 1870+ N95 Three-Panel Fold-Flat Respirator
The 3M Aura 1870+ uses a three-panel, fold-flat design that opens out over your nose and under your chin. This N95-rated model has head straps and an adjustable nose clip, giving you a different shape to compare with the moulded cups.
It is individually packed, which is handy when setting aside an unopened spare in your work bag. Unfold both panels fully and follow the fitting instructions before deciding whether this shape suits you.

4. 3M 1860S N95 Small Cup-Shaped Respirator
If regular-sized cups feel too large, the 3M 1860S gives you a small-size N95 option to compare. It has a structured cup shape, head straps and an adjustable nose clip.
Pay attention to the “S” when selecting the variant, because the 1860 and 1860S are different sizes. A smaller cup is worth trying if you need it, but the size label alone cannot tell you whether the fit is right.

5. Halyard FluidShield N95 Duckbill Respirator
The Halyard FluidShield N95 has a duckbill shape that projects forwards from the face. Available in small and regular sizes, it offers another design to compare if moulded cups have not suited you.
Its adjustable nose wire and head straps let you position the respirator according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Check the selected size and product code carefully, especially when the listing shows more than one option.

6. 3M 8511 N95 Mask With Cool Flow Valve
The distinguishing feature of the 3M 8511 is its Cool Flow exhalation valve on the front of the cup. This N95-rated model also has braided head straps and an adjustable M-shaped nose clip.
It is the option to compare if you specifically want a valved design. Check whether a valved respirator suits your intended setting, and assess the cup’s fit rather than choosing solely because the valve looks different.

7. Honeywell H801 Plus N95 Cup-Shaped Respirator
The Honeywell H801 Plus is a cup-shaped N95 respirator with an adjustable aluminium nose clip, a nose pad and elastic head straps. Arc-shaped stiffeners support the cup’s structure, giving you another construction to compare with the 3M and Benehal options.
Check that the selected product and packaging specify the N95 version of the H801 Plus. Honeywell also offers a valved variant, so confirm which version you are ordering instead of relying on a shared listing photo.

8. 3M VFlex 9105 / 9105S N95 Fold-Flat Respirator
The 3M VFlex comes in regular size as the 9105 and small size as the 9105S. Both are N95-rated fold-flat respirators, with distinctive V-shaped pleats that expand when opened and flex with mouth movement.
The flat format is useful when storing unopened supplies, while the side tabs help with positioning. Double-check the model suffix before checkout, particularly if you are buying different sizes for different people at home.

9. 3M 8110S N95 Small Cup-Shaped Respirator
The 3M 8110S is another small, cup-shaped N95 respirator to compare alongside the 1860S. It has a pre-formed cup, two head straps and an adjustable nose clip for positioning around the nose.
This model is designed for smaller adult faces; “small” does not mean it is a children’s respirator. Check the 8110S marking on the packaging and follow its fitting instructions, even if another small-sized model has fitted you before.
