I don't mind them much. I usually only put mine on only for brief periods while in stores.
"Properly" fitting an N95 or KN95 is pretty easy. As you breathe in and out you should be able to tell if the air is escaping the mask and blowing past your cheeks (between the skin and the mask). Does the fabric of the mask suck in and out as you breathe? If so it's reasonably well-fitted.
