Upgraded Eyeglasses Silicone Nose Pads, 10pairs 2mm Air Chamber Anti-Slip Adhesive Nose Pads-One Hole in Both Side Design More Soft and Comfortable-for Full Frame Sunglasses Reading Spectacle

Without these, I can't wear any style that doesn't have separate nose pads because they all slide down my nose. With these, I can adapt all kinds of styles. They have to be replaced every so often and more often if used in the heat as the adhesive gets gooey in heat and humidity.

I purchased the SMARTTOP Upgraded Eyeglasses Silicone Nose Pads (10 Pairs, 2mm, Clear) about a month ago to fix the fit of my plastic-framed reading glasses, which kept slipping down my nose during family activities with my 10- and 11-year-old nephew and son, like Wii gaming with our Eanetf sensor bar. As someone who values practical solutions (think HOOBRO bathroom shelf and Gildan boxer briefs), I needed a discreet, comfortable way to adjust my glasses for daily use and light outdoor tasks. After using three pairs over four weeks, here’s my detailed take on their performance, including pros, cons, and tips for other glasses wearers.How I Used ItThese nose pads are 2mm thick, made of soft silicone with an air chamber design (one hole on each side for cushioning), and feature 3M adhesive for sticking to full-frame glasses, sunglasses, or reading spectacles. Each pair (0.78”L x 0.31”W x 0.12”H) comes individually packed in a paper case. I applied them to my plastic-framed reading glasses (1.25x magnification, 52mm lens width) with a low nose bridge, following instructions to clean the frame with rubbing alcohol for better adhesion. I used them for reading, working on my laptop, and short walks in 60-70°F weather, replacing pads every 10-12 days due to slight adhesive wear. I stored extras in the provided case alongside my TheraBreath rinse in our bathroom.ProsExcellent Comfort: The soft silicone and air chamber design (with one hole per side) feel cushioned and reduce pressure on my nose bridge, preventing red marks after 3-4 hours of wear, as Amazon reviewers praised for sensitive skin. They’re softer than my GMS Optical pads.Effective Anti-Slip: The 2mm thickness lifts my glasses just enough to align the lenses properly, stopping slippage during sweaty walks or active Wii Sports sessions, aligning with Amazon feedback on grip even with sweat.Easy Application: Peel-and-stick installation took 10 seconds per pad after cleaning with alcohol wipes, fitting perfectly on my frame’s nose area, as noted on Hoobro’s site for quick setup. No trimming was needed.Discreet Look: The clear silicone blends with my black frames, making them nearly invisible from a distance, unlike bulkier 3.5mm pads, per an Amazon review favoring clear pads for aesthetics.Good Value: At $8-$10 for 10 pairs, they’re cheaper than Setex Gecko Grip ($12 for 5 pairs) and last 10-14 days each, offering great bang for the buck, as a Walmart reviewer noted for budget-friendly pads.ConsAdhesive Wear in Heat: After 10-12 days, the 3M adhesive started to “bleed” slightly in 70°F humid weather, leaving a sticky residue on my frames, as an Amazon reviewer warned about hot climates. It took 5 minutes to clean with alcohol swabs.Residue on Removal: Removing worn pads left gummy adhesive on my frames, requiring alcohol and a cloth to clean, echoing an Amazon review about a “nightmare” cleanup. It didn’t damage my glasses but was tedious.Not Ideal for Oily Skin: My nose’s natural oils weakened adhesion by day 10, causing slight sliding, similar to an Amazon review noting issues with oily noses. I had to reapply sooner than the recommended 3 months.Small Size Limits Fit: The 0.31” width was too narrow for my husband’s wider sunglasses bridge, limiting versatility, as an Amazon reviewer mentioned about sizing issues for larger frames.ComparisonsCompared to SURMAP 2mm Air Chamber Pads ($9 for 10 pairs), SMARTTOP’s one-hole design is softer but has messier adhesive, per Amazon. Setex Gecko Grip 1mm Pads ($12 for 5 pairs) use microstructured fibers for better grip but are pricier and thinner, per Amazon reviews. My GMS Optical 1.3mm Butterfly Pads ($10 for 5 pairs) are less cushioned but stick longer (3 weeks), per Walmart. The HOOBRO shelf organizes my bathroom, but these pads directly improve my daily comfort, unlike the Extolife filter’s maintenance role. OPUGIT 2mm Pads ($10 for 10 pairs) are similar but lack the one-hole air chamber, per Amazon. These SMARTTOP pads excel for comfort and affordability but need careful adhesive management.Tips for BuyersClean Thoroughly: Wipe the frame’s nose area with rubbing alcohol and let it dry for 30 seconds before applying to maximize adhesion, as Amazon’s usage tips suggest. Avoid touching the adhesive with oily fingers.Use Alcohol Swabs for Removal: Remove old pads with alcohol swabs and a paper towel to clean residue without smearing, addressing Amazon’s cleanup complaints. Goo-Gone works for stubborn goo but avoid lenses.Replace Every 2 Weeks in Heat: In humid or hot weather (70°F+), plan to replace pads every 10-14 days to avoid adhesive bleed, per an Amazon review from Texas summers.Test Fit First: Check if the 0.31” width suits your frame’s nose bridge; wider frames may need 3.5mm pads like Frienda’s, per Amazon. Apply one pair to test before committing.Who Should Buy This?The SMARTTOP Upgraded 2mm Silicone Nose Pads are ideal for glasses wearers with low nose bridges or plastic frames needing a 2mm lift for better fit and comfort, especially for reading or light activities. They’re great for budget-conscious users seeking cushioned, discreet pads but not for oily skin, hot climates, or wide frames. For longer-lasting adhesion, try Setex Gecko Grip, per Amazon.Overall, these nose pads have been a game-changer for keeping my reading glasses in place and comfortable, especially during family gaming nights. They’re soft and effective, though the adhesive requires maintenance in humid weather. I’ll likely buy the 2.5mm version for my sunglasses next!

I had ordered a new pair of glasses with plastic frames and larger lenses. Because I am used to wearing metal frames for years (with built in screw-in nose pads), I didn't realize the plastic ones come without that feature, and the glasses sits so low on my nose, and making the glasses unusable. These air bag nose pads from SMARTTOP were easy to install, and was thick enough to correctly adjust the glasses back to the proper height to sit on the bridge of my nose. They are comfortable to boot with the air pad style cushion, and easy to install (peel and stick - done in less than 5 seconds). Further, they help secure the glasses, they don't slip at all. The cut was a perfect fit to the area on the nose bridge of the frames. They come in three different sizes which is good, as i'm sure everyone has different needs. I bought these for fit, but the comfort is a definite plus, more comfortable than regular nose pads for sure. I would definitely recommend these.

Cushion is comfortable but not that sticky, have to change a pair monthly

Fits perfectly on my glasses which kept sliding down. The padding is the right level of thickness.

I bought these and some cheaper smaller ones. These are really a bit too large for my glasses but they work the best. They adhere and stay stuck through washings under hot water and dish soap. The dreaded nose divots are minimized--the others I tried left deep red marks. I got these mainly because the new frames I bought are really too wide for the bridge of my nose-did not notice until lenses were added. The pads are not too noticeable --but I can see they are there. Do you know how much I hate to wear geeky nose pads? I will definitely buy more though--too bad you get so few for the price. I will say that you have be careful when sticking them on--to avoid oily hands I have taken to wearing nitrile gloves when applying them

I've used eyeglass pads for years. Different brands, all good. But the Smarttop was terrible. The adhesive is VERY sticky; yet the top layer comes off the eyeglass quickly (lasting about 3 days), and leaves behind the most gummy sticky mess imaginable. I thought the 1st application was just a fluke, so I spent over half an hour trying to clean up the mess and applied a new set the next day. Happened again! And this time it was so bad, I couldn't get the leftover goo off my fingers. I used Dawn, abrasives, even a special dried corn cob exfoliate. 2 days later, multiple washings later, I got it off. I had to slather it in Goo-Begone. The residual goop on the glasses smeared over onto the prescription lenses and once again, the sticky only got worse with every attempt to clean the lense. My glasses are ruined. A few dollars to make a new pair of glasses a little more comfortable cost me a $300 replacement. THESE ARE TERRIBLE.
