Here's an actual fit test video. Fit factor drops all the way down to 4.6 when the mask is lifted to drink through a straw:

As he says, that's just mildly better than a surgical mask.

Compare to 230 with a plugged straw through Sip Valve:

And 382 when totally sealed: "That means the air is 382 times cleaner inside the mask than outside."

(via (2) Ever Bloom 💉💉💉💉😷 on Twitter: "@FitTestMyPlanet @safe_breathe Do you mind saying if you’ve an idea why the black BNX trifolds perform comparatively poorly? They’re the only N95s my teens will wear - and don’t seem to perform at all well compared to, for example, the 3M Auras? Perhaps lack of foam nose piece prevents good seal? Thx 🙏🏼" / Twitter)

Various N95s fit-tested + helpful answers in thread.

Made the breastplate myself for Angewomon but it looks silly, so I really struggled to make Arina’s shirt work for me (normally, I only need one bust dart 😂)

I’m also padded! Two pairs of pantyhose and couch cushion to balance my silhouette out and make me looks less like P
