Do you know of a company that makes face masks for women? I have one that is too big for my face. I have a child size head and its tough. Thank you.

You can Google this easily. I just did and found this:

You are looking for a half mask respirator for dust. This is one
purchase where you should talk to a customer service person to make
sure you are ordering the right thing.

I've used 3m(6000) and Willsonn( F-950), but my favorite is the North
7700. Most of them come in sizes these days. You really need to try
it on though. I would suggest trying the mask on when you get it,
before putting the filters on. If it's uncomfortable return it.
There's a lot of variation on how each one fits. Good Luck!

Cyndi -
Go to www.lss.com - Lab Safety Supply - and type "half mask respirator" in
the search box. You will find that many of their respirators are available
in small medium and large size. Click the small icon in the upper right to
access the cartridges and filters - they are purchased separately.
Good luck -
