Video: Use a bra to make your own masks

I think the underwire could be used instead of the metal strip from the folder to keep the fabric fitted over the nose. If you can't sew, super glues work well.
This is NOT N95 because coffee filters are 10-20 microns, N95 rating filters down to .3 microns.

What about the really good allergy or even HEPA filters for HVAC? The best level of Filtrete brand for instance. That would probably do some good as a mask filter material and you’d get a bunch from a large furnace filter.

Look, Dr. Buzzkill: this thread is about wearing women's underwear on your face. Please send all rational, creative, practically applical ideas to some other thread.
 
regarding bras and masks, there are several quotes like this one:

Then in 1958, she gave a presentation at 3M simply titled: “Why,” which explained why 3M should go into this business of non-woven products in a bigger way. She presented over 100 product ideas for the technology, and was assigned to design a molded bra. But the late ’50s were tough for Turnbull, who spent a lot of time visiting sick family members in hospitals. She lost three loved ones in quick succession. And out of that grief came a new invention: A “bubble” surgical mask that 3M released in 1961, that yes, takes its inspiration from the cup of a bra. When 3M learned it couldn’t block pathogens, the mask was re-branded as a “dust” mask.
 
"George, what do you like better? The 'Bro' or the 'Manssiere'?

"Dad. We need to talk."

One of the great Seinfeld moments.
