The best product on the market - for now
I have a narrow nose between my eyes, so my glasses are constantly slipping down my face. I am an active adult, so this constant slipping is incredibly annoying. I've tried changing the curve of the arms, Nerdwax, and rubber bands on the arms - you name it, but nothing works. This product does work. The little tiny grip pads hold the glasses in place for a few weeks, and then you have to change them again. I have found that the thinner grip pads work better for my glasses, as they don't alter the progressive prescriptions. However, it is really important to clean the bridge with alcohol before application to get a good, firm application. They are easy to use if you can see them. If you struggle with seeing small things within 1-2 feet of your face, you may need help with the application. They do not stay in place very long if you sweat, and the grip pads flatten after awhile, so the pads do need to be replaced (perhaps a little too frequently, and this is where I could reduce the stars by one, if you sweat a lot or have a greasy nose). But overall, this is the best I've found and the quality, size, and ease of application all hit the mark. Durability is the only characteristic in question.

Game changer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I was constantly pushing my glasses back up my nose, especially in the summer or while working out. These Setex nose pads solved the problem instantly. They grip like magic—seriously feels like gecko feet—and my glasses don’t budge even when I’m sweating. The pads are soft and comfortable, not sticky or annoying, and I forget they’re even there.They were easy to apply, and the 3M adhesive holds really well but still comes off clean when it’s time to replace. I’ve had mine on for a few weeks now, and they’re still going strong. If you have plastic frames that tend to slip, these are 100% worth it.

Worth the purchase, but by extra because you will need to reapply
I've tried so many nose pads in 20+ years of wearing glasses on my crooked face with sensitive but oily skin, and THESE ARE BY FAR THE BEST.TL;DR: They're grippy, soft, and invisible, but they lose adhesion to your glasses over time, so buy extra. Wash/dry glasses, apply with tweezers.Extra Long Review:The 0.6mm pads are exactly what I needed to keep my frames from resting on the top of my nose bridge. They apply easily and stick well! The clear pads are completely invisible when wearing my glasses, but they saved my nose from a lot of pain and keep my glasses right up where I want them.There also SO SOFT. Like, unbelievably gentle on your face for something so effective. It's really impressive and really really nice and totally worth the money. I've never felt nose pads this soft, certainly not this soft AND this effective. If you do not own long and pointy tweezers, it's worth adding a pair to your order here. They make it a thousand times easier to apply these instead of using fingers. I have little dainty hands and can't do it without tweezers. Craft tweezers are perfect for this if you own those. Put on your old glasses while you do it so you can actually see.Oh and WASH YOUR GLASSES FIRST. Give them a nice soapy scrub all over, especially the nose pads and bridge, rinse well, and DRY THOROUGHLY. A little rubbing alcohol on a q-tip is a bonus for the nose pads before applying, but again, wait for then to be totally dry. Alcohol also helps get off old bits that will stick when replacing them, so let's talk about that.Why I Took off One Star: the adhesive loosens faster than I would like, and sometimes it turns into these weird little booger balls. Legit they look and feel like boogers but are coming from the nosepad adhesive. If you wear makeup, have oily skin, or wash your glasses often like I do with soap and water, the nose pads will lose adhesion in a few weeks, and new ones will need to be reapplied. Buy the bulk pack and it should last most of the year. I took off an entire star for this as it is a little frustrating. I have always washed my glasses for general hygiene (think of all the public door handles you touch and then touch your glasses before you have a chance to wash your hands, barf), I sometimes wear makeup, and I have oily skin, so that triple threat causes them to lose adhesion, but even just one of those will reduce the life. Oily skin and/or wearing makeup will also reduce the grippiness against your nose (or cause zits, let's be real) so then you'll *have* to wash them, and then that will loosen the adhesion.If you work in a dusty environment, that will also contribute to the reduced grippiness on your nose and reduced adhesive on your glasses. It's not a reason to skip these; no solution will be 100% perfect. Every other aspect of these however *is* perfection and absolutely worth the price. They even come in their own plastic container with a string closure!! I know it's silly, but how often do you get small items that come in those terrible cheap plastic bags? Or plastic containers that you put tape around because you don't trust the closure? That's not a problem here!!Plus they're made in the USA, and that means you're reducing carbon emissions while supporting a fellow American's small business and the jobs that they create right here. Seriously just buy these!

Don’t stick as long as the regular Gecko grips
These pads work, but they come off much faster than the regular size of this brand. With plastic frames I have to use these to stop my glasses from sliding down my nose. These stop the slide, but fall off after a couple weeks. The regular size grips have stayed on for months.

Works for me despite buying a size too small.
I miscalculated the size (0.6mm) and was not sure if it would work for my glasses since the nose guard is bigger. However, I went ahead and placed the non-slip pieces on the higher part of the nose guard and I am happy that it still does the job! My nose gets oily throughout the day and when I'm using my glasses or sunglasses, I do not have to keep pushing my glasses up or constantly wipe the bridge of my nose. My sunglasses in particular is a bit wide for my face so if I looked down, it used to slip all the way down to the tip of my nose, sometimes it would fall off. Now, with the non-slip, glasses stay put and it is not uncomfortable as it is soft and thin. Not sure how long each will last, but I would purchase again.

Holds, but not to frames.
They definitely hold to your nose, but unfortunately don't hold to the glasses. I only got a week , maybe a week and a couple days out of them before they started slipping on the glasses frame. Each time I cleaned my frames with alcohol and let them dry before applying, and each time they started coming off. My frames aren't anything special, just standard acetate/plastic. I was really hoping given the price they'd work better. I guess price doesn't always mean better.
