Perfect fix for slipping glasses, and much more comfortable than silicone pads!
For a couple years I’ve been dealing with constant slipping and painful nose “dents” because of my plastic eyeglass frames. My eye doctor is unable to make any further adjustments for fit, so they added some adhesive silicone nose pads. These helped with the slipping, but the dents in my skin became worse. I’ve tried 5 different brands of adhesive silicone nose pads (different sizes and thicknesses, butterfly vs. D-shape like these), but I’ve been unable to make my glasses comfortable for the past 2 years. So that’s why I gave these a shot, and so far so good!<br /><br />My plastic frame sunglasses have a similar type of foam pads and I love them, so I’m not sure why I didn’t think to try foam pads sooner! These feel softer and more “squishy,” than the silicone pads I’ve tried, yet they also have a slimmer profile, which means they aren’t nearly as noticeable. The overall size is also perfect for my frames (Cinzia Designs, CIN-5076). The thinner profile seems to do what I need without adding any bulk, and because they are perfectly sized to the nose rest of the frames, they seem to be distributing the weight of my glasses better than the thicker/slightly smaller silicone pads. The edges of the silicone pads would actually dig into my skin, which is really uncomfortable, but these are slim enough that I’m not experiencing that issue. The foam pads are gripping better than the silicone this far, so I think this is the way to go. I’ll update my review if these don’t seem to hold up well, but so far I’m very happy!
