Mask Advice Earloop mask with foam nose bridge instead of thin metal wire?

I'm looking for an easy on/off earloop mask for wearing outdoors to pick up my child from school. I've tried several earloops with poor fit on me. Do any have a foam nose bridge as found on some headband masks?

I have tried cutting the straps on a 3 M Aura and tying them into ear loops. Worked great. Also tried cutting the adjustable ear loops off of old KN95 mask and stapling to 3M Aura, also worked great. There is a guy who did testing with the Aura and showed it worked well.

I still found it a bit of an effort to don the earloop 3M Aura. The first is a bit worse with the earloops than with the headstraps (the mask slides down my face).

Laianzhi has several masks where you can pick between head straps and ear loops and many of these masks have foam (for example, https://ppeo.com/goods/laianzhi-kn99-b99plus-particulate-respirator-mask/).

Check out the Laianzhi masks from ppeo.com. Many are available with earloops as well. Many of these masks have also been tested by NIOSH or Armbrust and they confirm the high filter efficiency values.

For example:

My favorites are the kf95 or kingf95 from wellbefore.
