Long lasting and really work.
To save money, when I needed new prescription glasses this year, I used my old frames that I love so that I'd only have to pay for new lenses. The only problem was that these frames always slide down my nose from my oily skin. It drove me crazy. I would literally be pushing my glasses up every few minutes. The friction gave me those dark lines on the sides of my nose which I also hated. To get the right size, just get a little tape measure like the one you use for sewing. Measure the length of the nose piece on your glasses. That's all there is to it. Once I got them, I cleaned off my glasses nose piece with one of those eyeglass wipes with the alcohol and let dry. Then I put these on and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Mind you, the dark spots on the sides of my nose haven't disappeared and that's just the cost of wearing glasses, I guess. But the friction caused by daily slipping and sliding has subsided. I got these exactly 30 days ago and waited a month before writing this review. I wanted to see how long-lasting they were. It's been a full month and they are still in place. I wipe them frequently with eyeglass wipes to keep oil from my face off them and they haven't budged. I appreciate that there are spares but even if I had to replace these every couple of months, I'd be happy. It's a minor investment for major improvement in comfortable eyeglass wear. === UPDATE: my original review was posted August 24, 2024. I just want to let you know that I am still wearing the first set that I put on my glasses and today is October 11. I wear makeup, and I do have oily skin, but these things really stay put. I just clean it when I clean my glasses with those wet wipes. I just make sure to wipe off the nose pads. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for comfort and convenience. === ‼️ Another update April 28, 2025. I just uploaded a video review and am emailing that video to GMS, too, to let them know how impressed I am. After 9 months, I STILL have one pair left from the 5-pack. I am a woman with oily-ish skin, I wear makeup, I have hot flashes...the whole nine. If you keep them clean they will last. For instance, whenever I clean my glasses with the wet wipes, I make sure to wipe the nose pads, too. It's like anything else; you need to maintain it to get the best life out of the product. I don't need to place another order just yet, but when I do, I'll get the same brand again. I am truly impressed. So impressed that I didn't even bother using a filter or getting pretty for this video. It is what it is 😆 but you got the message! Follow me for good reviews and REAL reviews.

great for meta glasses
I bought a pack of these in 2018 (!!!!!) and still had a bunch of them left, forgot I even had these to be honest because whatever pair of glasses i had originally bought them for were long gone by now. anyway, i just bought a pair of ray-ban meta glasses (skylar gen 2, to be exact) and no one ever mentioned how heavy these are. the other problem, which i knew from the getgo, was that the frames are not really made for asian faces and they slide down my nose. i was searching for some nose pads and then it occurred to me i had already bought these and luckily i found them and although they are smaller than the nose thingys on the glasses, they still fit and more importantly, they work!!! first, let me say something about the nose pads themselves - i bought these in 2018 and they are just as sticky as they were when i first bought them, there's no weird sticky residue that sometimes adhesive changes to over time - none of that - and the silicone is still just as squishy and it's still the same color, no yellowing, no hardening, nothing). the meta glasses are still heavy imo but at least they don't slide down my nose anymore. wow, what a game changer! the frames i bought are a light peachy brown clear shade and i love that these clear pads blend in perfectly so while you can still see the pads, they look like they are a part of the glasses, it doesn't look like they don't belong as you can hopefully see in my pics. (please ignore the specks of dust in my pics, in person they are microscopic but in the pictures they look like boulders lol). i think the only thing that could made this experience better is if they made larger nose pads specifically for these kinds of one piece molded frames, that's all. but honestly, i am very happy with what i have.

have bought multiple times
these like everything have pros and cons. Pros - The pads are soft on the face and don’t get “stuck” but do prevent sliding - the pads come off my glasses without leaving sticky residue - the pads do not get very oily. - they’re practically invisible and nobody can tell they’re on my glasses. - The pads are super thin and don’t push my glasses to high up Cons - They don’t last me 2 weeks as advertised and have to be changed every 5-8 days. - The pads do get oily and less slip resistant after those 5 days. - The sides do start to peel up If you’re looking to spend a little more money for each these are a good middle priced option. I do switch between these and a cheaper version and they both have benefits and downfalls.

Dont last long
These work well for a few days, but are not a permanent solution. The adhesive eventually fails and they come off.

Simple solution for fit problems.
This is surprisingly effective??? I was skeptical at first getting this. There’s no way it will help with the fit of my sunglasses. I accidentally ruined my glasses and the screws were faulty so the fit has become loose. But adding this padding on my sunglasses helped with that because of the added grip on the bridge of my nose! This is more comfortable than having an ear clip in my opinion so I’m just so very happy! Note, the package is very small (obviously). Like a business card inside a plastic so be careful when unpacking and accidentally throw it away. Trust me. I know.

Work very well, if you are careful
These have worked very well for me. I bought them a year ago, and just put on my third (3 out of 5) set. I've found that the glasses they are going on have to be scrupulously clean before application. No residual skin oil, soap or dirt. They also have to be placed carefully. They need to be put on with full contact on the nose piece. See my picture below. If they aren't solidly adhered to plastic everywhere, water or skin oil will get underneath the adhesive and they'll fall off. I suspect they'll only work on plastic glasses frames. They last me about six month of hard use. They work very well to keep my glasses from sliding down my oft broken and asymmetric nose ;-)

They do their job
I’ve been using these for the last year for my Pair glasses. They’re easy to apply but don’t last. After about a month, they start to slip or fall off completely, likely due to the oil on my nose. I do use an alcohol wipe to clean the area before putting the pads on. Overall, I’m happy and I have ordered them again several times.

These work as advertised
These are fantastic. Easy to apply and are extremely comfortable. No slippage at all and can't see them when they're installed.

Nice sticky-feeling nose pads
I bought these nose pads to try them after I had gone through all of the “Setex Gecko Grip” nose pads that I had bought before. I was satisfied with the “Setex Gecko Grip” pads, but their porous nature meant that they absorbed sweat and oil easily. These GMS Optical nose pads appealed to me because they look like the standard nose pads that come with metal-frame glasses. I found the GMS Optical nose pads felt stickier than the Setex pads. Obviously oil and sweat still transferred to the GMS Optical pads, but they could be easily wiped off and didn’t permeate the material because they’re made of non-porous silicone. I installed the first pair of pads on August 1st and only just had to replace them yesterday (August 27th). In comparison to the Setex pads, they lasted longer. I was replacing the Setex pads every 2-3 weeks. I understand that each person is different and maybe my nose produces more sweat/oil than others. For me the GMS Optical pads worked great and I’m very happy with how long the adhesive lasted before I needed to change the pads. I will be purchasing more in the future and definitely recommend them to anyone who has plastic frames that always slide down your nose.
