I have some N95s without valves and use them at times but mostly I use the green lightweight disposable masks. I realize exhalation and some inhalation passes outside their perimeters but I believe the masks offer some protection from the Wuhan coronavirus to others by capturing most of the minuscule droplets I exhale through it.
