An EASY fix for eyeglasses slipping down [View all]

I simply rub a dab of CHAPSTICK on those nose pad surfaces ...and VOILA!...NO SLIPPING.

(I see this "Nerdwax" advertized everywhere. It's three times the price for what you'd pay for THREE good ol' Chapsticks.)

P.S. - The chapstick has been in my top desk drawer since 1995. LOL!!! Has worked like a charm on my lips for all those years. And now MY GLASSES!
