This reminds me of something I was considering recently. A few months ago, I got sucked in by an online ad for masks that had the most amazing graphics. They took forever to get here and were from somewhere in Asia. They were basically not OK for me because they didn't have the wire piece on top and so fogged up my glasses, but I also noticed more recently that these masks really do make me feel like someone has a hand over my face and is smothering me. I think they ship from a company called AlyCandy or something similar.
Most of our masks are from Prefix Masks in Los Angeles. Those have the wires and they are a stiffer fabric, so they don't plaster themselves to your nostrils when you inhale. I give them a big thumbs up.
I now also have some disposable surgical-type masks, and these are the lightest and easiest for carrying on a conversation. I use these when I visit my mother since she seems to have more trouble understanding me when I'm wearing a mask.
It occurred to me that if I only had AlyCandy masks, I would be a lot less receptive to the whole mask wearing concept, so as mentioned upthread, it's important to have a good mask.
