KN95 Protection vs. M95 Masks: What’s the Difference?

VIDA is committed to offering products that are certified, authentic and reliable. We only carry protective products on our website that we have ensured exceed the most rigorous testing standards and have been certified by a legitimate third party. We are parents ourselves and are unwilling to compromise on product quality in all cases, and even more so when it comes to our children.

Due to the exponential surge in mask demand, VIDA’s supplier began shipping FDA Registered M95c Masks to a small number of customers who had purchased VIDA FDA Registered Kids Masks with KN95 Protection and FDA Registered M95i Masks to a small number of customers who had purchased VIDA FDA Registered Masks with KN95 Protection.

For those who may have received one of the masks, or have purchased one elsewhere, here’s a side by side comparison. As you’ll see, the two mask types are functionally exactly the same.
