Setex Gecko Grip 1mm Anti Slip Eyeglass Nose Pads, (5 Black Pair) USA Made, 2500 Innovative Microstructured Fibers per Nose Pad, 1mm x 7mm x 16mm

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good reviews I read about this product because my new eyeglasses are high end but the plastic really irritated my nose bridge to the point of soreness so I figured id try these and although they're a bit pricey we put them on and instantly i noticed and the added benefits like not slipping off the beak..I mean nose as they did before and I also put them the arms above the ears too..and wow they're not slipping off the bald sweating head anymore

Ordered these for my Ray-Ban Meta glasses because they kept sliding down my face after a couple of days. I felt that there had to be something to hold your glasses up beside the typical strap that goes behind your head. Ordered these and they have done a great job so far. They are black and blend in with the Meta glasses and they are the perfect amount of thickness to blend in. Only had them a few days but they seem durable. But the good thing is they give you a bunch in the package to last you awhile.

These work quite well, but are expensive for what they are and how few are in a package. We live in the South, and sweat happens just walking to the mailbox, let alone doing yard work. It is so annoying! These are easily applied and barely show but they do cause a slight raise and it would be better if they could have designed the product with a bezel taper especially on the facial side. After a few days of wear, the adhesive starts to "crumble" out a little, but if you clean your glasses every day, that is not a problem. They also shifted after about a week but still stayed on. Though not perfect, they are a summer solution in our household. We use them for glasses, computer glasses, readers, and sunglasses. Not perfect, but winner enough. Already ordered more to keep on hand and it is not the manufacturer's fault that I wear makeup and moisturizer, and my husband has slightly oily skin, which causes us to replace the pads more frequently. They work, but are not invisible or permanent, but then that would be in a perfect world. Happy with purchase and would recommend to prevent wasted optical adjustments that will not really solve the slippage problem. The first day or two after applied are so satisfying and effective and it will depend on several factors as to how many days or even weeks you might go before replacing. Worth a try IMO. A bezel and some variations in sizes would be a design improvement-if that is even possible. I do actually rate a 5 for the product providing a genuine improvement in daily life quality. For those who might need to know, you do not feel them, they do not change where your glasses sit really in terms of field of vision. Lastly there is a very slight adhesive odor (smells a bit like the tape roll that sits on your desk to wrap gifts or packages with). That only lasts for a few hours after application and is then gone. I actually like it because that smell is nostalgic...Christmas.

Update :Unfortunately I am going to have to knock a couple stars after some use with these. Everything I mentioned previously hold true, they grip amazingly well! The issue is the adhesive. I wish they used a bit stronger 3M adhesive. The stuff they use is a gel adhesive one thing I learned real quick, they do not hold up in high temps for long. It's summer time now and that means temps averaging 80s to 90s right now and that not including humidity in my area. Unless you plan on staying inside all the time when it's hot out, the adhesive on these pads will deteriate in no time. It literally will ooze out from under the pad until eventually enough has oozed out from the heat that the pads simply will not hold on to the glasses any longer.I know 3M makes better adhesive that is stronger in heat and still removable and for the price these are being charged for, really shouldn't be skimping on it. So if you live in a mild to cool climate even in the summer times, these will be perfect. If your living down south where even 100 degrees heat isn't anything new, be prepared to be cleaning and changing these out in relatively short time.Original Review :I just got a new pair of glasses about a week ago and they are my first pair of full frames. So I never had glasses without nose pads before. The glasses seemed to have fit well but did notice the bottom of my frames rested lightly on my cheeks and of course through out the day my noise gets oily and if it's warm inside and/or outside, there is added sweat.As for the frames resting on my cheeks I suppose I could have taken them back to be adjusted but I didn't really want to deal with that as it didn't seem much lift was really needed.So I thought hmmm they make nosepads for full frames don't they? And of course they do! The ones I ordered are in the standard 1mm size and in color black. I didn't want clear because from past experience with my other glasses over time the oils will turn the color of the clear to yellow and just looks horrible at that point even after washing them off. Figure with black, the oils won't be able to change the color and will look nice. Besides my frames are slightly opaque slate gray. So I'm direct light you can see through the frames but in low light the slate gray color looks solid. So black matched perfectly for me too.They come in a small round container inside a pouch packaging. The D shape matches my frames nose bridge shape perfectly and has a 3M sticky pad on the backside. I've seen other reviews of others having issues getting them lined up and sticking on but luckily for me that wasn't an issue. First I make sure to clean the nose bridge of my glasses really well and being completely dry. Then I held nosepad between my finger and thumb by the edges and peeled the cover off the tape side. Carefully lined it up and gently sat it on my frames nose bridge in case I needed to make small adjustments to straighten it out. Once I had it where I wanted simply added pressure all over the pad to be sure it stuck well to the frames.With both installed now and trying on my frames the pads did indeed lift my frames up just a small bit and now they no longer rest on my cheeks! Not only that they really don't look all that noticable to me.They don't seem to be slipping down but of course time will tell. I will say though they do have a nice grip to them. Also I will have to fight the urge to constantly want to push them even I don't have to (dang memory muscle).The price may seem a little bit high but you get quite a few pairs in case you ever need to replace them. In time I'll see how well the grip holds and if I'll run into any issues with the 3M tape losing it's adhesion as other reviews have mentioned happened to them.I'll follow up with an update on those qualities.Though as my first day review with them, they did lift my glasses off my cheeks exactly like I wanted and seem to grip well so far. With that said, as of now I highly recommend these.

I just got new glasses and they are much larger than my old ones and slid down my nose. This was a bit annoying so I ordered these to prevent sliding down my nose! They actually worked better than expected. In addition to stopping the sliding down my nose, they also provided a little bit of extra lift on my face which keeps the large frames from touching my cheeks! I'd recommend these for sure!

these are great..just a tad long,however i can wear them without any problem..the thickness is great..they last about a month before they fall off,I dont put my glasses under or in water so i am unable to speak about them and how they do with water..i wear my glasses all day ,removing only to sleepthese are the first pair of nose piece holders i have used that do what they said they would do..stick on the glasses and totally prevents them from slipping
