The very first time I tried one to check for fit and whatnot, it left me with a sore/scratchy throat even though the mask was on my face for less than two minutes

So not holding shape to my nose to help keep a close fit, and most distressing - making my throat sore - these ended up in the trash can

Fortunately, gargling with salt water and taking special care in both instances saw my irritated throat clearing up overnight

n’t feel comfortable using it.
