Do your glasses keep slipping off? This incredibly easy trick solves the problem
25.4.2022
For years, my small nose and I have struggled with sunglasses slipping. In the end, it only took two hair bobbles and a few twists of the hand to put a stop to them slipping for good. Keep reading to find out how.
Take a recent example, for instance, when I was laden down with three parcels as I walked to the post office. When my sunglasses were already so crooked after 30 seconds that I had to walk the rest of the way not being able to see properly (and barely missing a pile of dog dirt), I resolved to put an end to this slippery dilemma.
Here’s a quick and super easy guide to stop your glasses slipping:
Grab your troublesome glasses and two small hair bobbles – the ones without a metal insert.
Thread the bobble round the back of the frame and wrap it around a few times until it’s firmly affixed. Push it up so that it roughly sits above the ear. Do the same on the other side.
Ta-da! Now you can put your glasses on and decide where’s the best place to position the hair bobble. The frame should now be a tighter fit so your glasses will slip down the bridge of your nose far less frequently. And in case you were wondering, you can hardly spot the little hair bobble helpers any more.
