very effective!
these are great! the first pair lasted me almost 3 weeks without falling off. i have very oily skin and the second week of wear i was on vacation in florida. these things lasted through oil, excessive sweating, AND getting splashed by pool and ocean water. and honestly they could’ve stayed on longer, i just chose to remove them because my oily skin turned them a little yellow. 2-4 weeks of wear is totally possible if applied correctly! you have to clean the nose part of the glasses either with lens cleaner or an alcohol wipe or something. once it’s clean and dry apply the strip trying to avoid touching the sticky part. when i peel the paper backing off, the strip usually sticks to the tip of my finger by its edge and i apply it right away without extra handling. i also don’t know if they work on glasses that have separate nose pieces, mine are just plastic frames with flat nose area. they can be a little tricky to put on straight but it’s really not hard once you get it. they left a bit of sticky gel on one side when i removed them but it was very easy to pick off. the thickness is perfect, enough to get a good grip but not very noticeable and you don’t feel them at all. overall very happy and will be buying again.

They work great!!!
I admit that I usually wait for Amazon to remind me about a review of a product I purchased. This is the first time I’ve ever gone out and created a review without being reminded by Amazon. I’ve only had these things on my glasses for a couple days, but they really really work! I went from wire frame glasses with nose pads to acetate/plastic frame glasses cause my kids said they look better on me. That may or may not be true, but these plastic frame glasses slide down my nose all the time. I was literally considering getting new wire frame glasses with nose pads. I was at the optometrist office, looking at frames with nose pads. I explained to the employee why I was doing this and she recommended this product. She said they really worked well and I should give them a try. So I did. They are soft, they fit perfectly. They’re super thin, and they definitely keep the frames for sliding down my nose. I’m a very happy customer.. Fair warning, getting through the packaging was a bit of a challenge. The round circular plastic container they come in was really hard to open. However, it was worth the effort. Update; Been two weeks, and they still keep my glasses from sliding down my nose. However, the adhesive that holds the pads onto the glasses appears to last about two weeks. You get 5 pairs of nose pads, so it appears this is about a 3 month supply (give or take). Still like them and recommend them, this is just to inform everyone of the durability I encountered.

Quick-fix alternative to a new pair of glasses
Now that I'm back to needing glasses daily for anything requiring detailed work such as being on the computer, any time I have to head outside, or basically any activity where I can't function with a little fuzziness from the safety of being indoors, I've found myself struggling the past couple of years mode than I remember ever needing to before to find a pair of glasses that stay on my face without slipping down my face or getting smudged every 5 minutes or just being uncomfortable. Of those issues, I was looking to find something to help me keep my main frames more firmly on my face, as they keep slipping down my nose every few minutes. This causes me to subconsciously try and scrunch my nose to keep them up when I dont actively push them up by hand, and that cuases headaches. So failing to find a solution involving something like a pair of goggles or straps (that would be comfortable and affordable), I figured the next best thing would be something to add texture or grip to the plastic nose pieces on my glasses. Mine dont have the protruding metal and silicone/plastic pads, and are rather the ones that rest entirely on your nose. Because the plastic is kind of cheap and smooth, over time your face's oil makes them slip. After some research, I found these and there seemed to be enough reviews and purchases that gave enough hope that, even if they weren't perfect, maybe they'd be good enough to keep me from having to buy new frames, which are prohibitively expensive to do. I tried both the 0.6mm and 1mm ones and can say that they rate roughly 3-4/5 stars. They're not bad for sure, and I can recommend them with some caveats: - Applying them is a little tough, as theyre small and the space youre applying them to is also small, requiring some dexterity on your part. Thankfully the pads are sticky enough that you can reapply them if you miss or they wind up crooked, but it is annoying. -Despite being sticky at first, the 1mm pads I bought were not very sticky and didnt last more than a couple of days, so I had to return/replace them (they were also way too thick and uncomfortable, although I did wind up getting used to a replacement set after a few weeks) -They do provide decent grip and functioned as intended. Even if it almost feels like the glasses want to slip down, if you gently tug on them, they won't slip down past where the pads are gripping on your nose. That said, they aren't sticky on the grip part, all they offer is texture so mileage may vary based on skin type and how much you sweat. -Personally, I think they are a little expensive for how short their lifetime is. In my experience, I think about a month is going to be the average lifespan under good conditions and normal-ish use. However, they adhesive starts to ooze out of the bottom (probably from the heat/warmth of your face), and the grip texture winds up catching dead skin, so they get nasty. Even if you wanted to keep them longer, I think for hygiene they should be swapped every month, which makes these something you'll be buy often. With all that said, if you need something to keep frames on your face and you can't afford a new pair of glasses any time soon, these will probably do the job, or are at least worth the test. I dont love the idea of being stuck having to buy these once you start, but its better than getting headaches. If they were closer to $1 a pair of pads, that'd probably be a much more fair price for something meant to be disposable and so prone to wear or possibly getting rubbed off by accident.

Tiny, exremely difficult to put on, easily fall off, and overpriced esp w/o an applicator included.
They work great, if you're only using them for the day. They don't last for long term usage. They are also extremely difficult to apply. Once you do apply them, they fall off very easily. They're also too expensive for what you get. Almost 14 bucks for some tiny silicone pads with glue on them? Absolutely not! I refuse to buy any more of them. I've had two pairs fall off my glasses after being used for less than 24hrs. I often fall asleep with my glasses on because my eyesight is awful, and I do a lot of things from bed since I'm disabled. I thought these nose pads would stay on. It's better to get a pair of glasses with screw on nose pads and get the grip pads that screw on. I've never had a pair of the screw on pads fail, even though my skin gets oily, especially in the summer. I'd score these lower, but I have Cerebral Palsy, so I think part of the application difficulty is because I have motor skill issues. IMO a good product should be easy for everyone to use, regardless of ability level. I initially thought the reason for this kind of pricing was because there was an applicator in the package. I was wrong. I got these cheaper at Walmart when I thought the reason for them falling off was because I had extreme difficulty putting them on.

Very little sliding!
These work great! I switched to plastic framed glasses when I got my last pair, and the biggest problem I have is when my face gets oily, they slide. My new pair are bigger and heavier so the problem is worse and I could barely stop them from constantly sliding. I tried this and another popular fix for this issue and these were a perfect fix. I don't have to wipe them hardly at all anymore, just clean the pads with an alcohol wipe occasionally. I would recommend these highly to anyone that has this issue with plastic frames!

Great Product In Every Way
I was using a silicone ear piece that went behind my ear to hold my glasses up but it made my glasses dig into the side of my nose. THESE NOSE GRIPPERS ARE THE BEST! I have plastic glasses so I can’t adjust the nose pieces and I didn’t think these would work as well as they do. I live is FL where the humidity is nearly year round and molded plastic frames are even more prone to slide down my nose. This brand really grips (even when my face gets sweaty) and are soooo much more comfortable than the behind the ear product. They use 3M adhesive so I expect they will stay put for a long time and they are quite thin so even though I have clear frames you can’t see them (I got the clear ones) Plus you get so many in a pack if you have to change them out now and then you have enough. I don’t feel them at all and you could easily trim them to fit any nose pieces. When you feel them with your fingers they don’t feel like they will grip as well as they do. So good!

Very comfortable & keeps my glasses on my face
My glasses are constantly falling down on my face and sometimes I would rather walk around not being able to see than deal with the annoyance. These nose grips have been a huge help to prevent that. I purchased the clear and you’d never know they were there. Unfortunately they don’t stay forever and I do need to replace them every so often. The oils for my skin aren’t the best for keeping the glue in place so they eventually come off. My only gripe with them is the glue leaves a residue on my lenses that takes a bit to remove but it’s not terrible. When I run out I’ll continue to purchase.

They work for a short time, but don't eliminate the problem
Updated Review: 14 days later, the second pair of pads did the same as the previous set (see below). So I've gone through two sets in less than a month. Original Review: I have oily skin. I've been wearing glasses for 20 years and have lived with the regular slide of my prescription glasses down my nose, especially when doing anything other than sitting still. I finally decided to try these Gecko pads. I used rubbing alcohol to clean the nose area and the tip of an X-acto blade to carefully place the pad so as not to get any oils on the sticky side. Initially, I was somewhat satisfied. Although they didn't eliminate the slide, they did make it less frequent. However, as of yesterday, 12 days after the initial install, one pad started sliding off the nose piece, followed by the second one today. At this rate, I'll need about two sets per month. I was hoping I would see several months of use before replacing them.

What's not to like ?
I really am struggling to understand the negative comments in here but I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. I had new glasses for computer use only and they had no nose holders pre-fitted just plastic frames. Within minutes they were sliding down my slightly sweaty nose every time I looked at my keyboard. I decided to order a pack of these. They were easy to fit, just peel off the backing paper and adhere to your glasses. I didn't try any fancy trimming of them so they fitted my frames "perfectly" as I felt they were designed to be functional rather than fashionable. Problem solved ! no more slipping and having to continually push them back up my face. I am still on the first pair I fitted so with another four sets spare they should last me for ages. Suffice it to say I am more than pleased with this product and would not hesitate to recommend them.

They work as claimed
I recently got new plastic framed glasses and they keep slipping down my nose. It was driving me nuts, as they're varifocals, so their position is important. I bought these pads with minimal searching and surprisingly they work absolutely as advertised. After cleaning they stick well and have not peeled. They grip the bridge of my nose without any discomfort. They will slip eventually, but I'm not constantly pushing my glasses back in place like before. I got black coloured ones which blend quite well with the dark grey frames. I would recommend them and would buy them again should I need replacements.

مناسبة لكن تنفع اكثر للنظارات اللي دعامتها منفصلة عن البرواز
تثبت النظارة لكن تضطرو تقصوها اذا كانت اكبر من الدعامة، استخدمتها شهر وفكيتها ضايقتني احس انها ثقلت النظارة على انفي لان الدعامة مدمجة مع البرواز

Good
It is good, they become yellowish quite soon but do the job well

Amazing grip
****Update - I put on the first pads on May 1st, and it's now June 3rd and I've had to remove them because the adhesive wore off. A month of daily wear from waking up to sleeping, in all conditions (rain, sun, sweat, etc...) is ok with me, though I do wish they'd last just a bit longer. Either way, I love these enough that I'm willing to keep buying and using them - they really do work and I've found that my habit of constantly adjusting has slowly waned, though I do reach up sometimes and then stop, realizing I don't have to adjust. No sticky residue after removal - the pads just started slipping around a bit and then slipped right off. **** I was hesitant about these - putting something sticky on my new glasses that would change where they sit on my face since I have progressives that need to be in a specific spot. I've also had glasses with nose pads before and refuse to buy those anymore since they're even more slippery. I tried the little silicone grips that go on the arms of the glasses and they work for daily use but not when I got sweaty so I decided to try theses and so far I'm super impressed. My glasses went on and just stayed exactly where I put them. It's second nature for me to make constant adjustments pushing them up my bridge but I haven't had to at all in hours. I haven't gotten sweaty yet but almost look forward to seeing if these work as well as I expect they will. If so I'll be a happy customer forever.
