Nerdwax - it just doesn't work
I am unsure why there are so many positive reviews. As usual, any product works on only a distribution of customers, and in this case, Nerdwax did nothing for me at all. Slippage is influenced by several factors, namely, the oiliness of the skin surface, the friction of the nose pad, the tightness of the pad arms, temples and temple tips, the weight of the frames, and the activity of the wearer. My nose pad is a non-slip variant that is offers decent grip. The pad arms and the temples are not especially tight as that would be uncomfortable but they were fitted by an optometrist and so they are not abnormally lose. The spectacles are made of titanium and are frameless. The lens are ultra-thin high-index lenses which weight very little. I tend to spend my time working at the office computer. The only factor left unaddressed is the oiliness of the skin. I do tend to have oily skin but not terribly oily. So despite all this, my glasses tends to slip, not by a whole lot, but enough to be annoying. Therefore, the only thing I could address is the oily skin, which led me to try Nerdwax.<br /><br />Well, it didn't work at all. More does not always result in better performance, so I experimented with various amounts, from just a quick application of the wax on the pads, to prolonged waxing. I even tried to apply the wax directly to my nose (after washing my face of course). No matter what amount of wax I used, my glasses would slowly inch down my nose about 2 minutes later. In fact I didn't notice any difference whether I used Nerdwax or not.<br /><br />I am glad others have been having success with it, but as far as I am concerned, it doesn't work at all.
