This is quite a novel product, the idea is simple
This is quite a novel product, the idea is simple - it's a wax that you apply to the bridge of your glasses which is supposed to stop them slipping down your nose.
When I first tried it it seemed to work really well, it set as you would expect a wax to do and seemed very effective at stopping the glasses slipping. However after using it for a week or so I'm not so sure, it does have a few flaws.
For a start it takes a while to set, so if your glasses slip before it sets then this obviously messes it up a bit. Secondly it does wear off after a while, so you either need to reapply it or only use it for a short time - eg if you use it when going jogging then it might be OK.
There are a couple of other problems also though, for example if you go out in the rain and then need to take your glasses off to clean them then you break the wax seal when you take them off. I also find it just doesn't seem to work sometimes, I don't know if this is through not applying it as well or maybe moving my head about more or something else but whatever it is the effectiveness is inconsistent in my experience.
The main thing is though that if your glasses are slipping you should really go and get them tightened up, and then they'll fit properly! That said if for whatever reason you can't do that I would recommend trying this, it's probably quite subjective as to how well it works for different people and the product does seem to be made with the best intentions, who knows with more development maybe they'll make better versions in the future.
Works as advertised--some maintanance though
This wax works. It does get better if you really clean the bridge/pads well before applying, and then apply a few times in the first hour or so--build a good base coat so to speak. And yes, as others have pointed out, it will wear off and you need to reapply. It's like lip balm or something else topical--it needs touch-ups. Usually I reapply every morning (24 hours). Doesn't bother me--Wedgees work too, but wear out after a couple of months and are UGLY!

Useless
Unfortunately, it's a marketing ploy. It doesn't work at all. I couldn't wait for the package to arrive, it was really interesting what was inside and how it would work. But the reality was severe. Lol. It didn't prevent slipping and I don't understand what exactly they advertised because I didn't notice anything special. It only made my glasses dirty :(
Not worth its money.
Scammed
I have purchased Nerdwax product and my order was cancelled without any notification, I had no idea my order was cancelled and waited patiently. When I contacted customer service they said that my order was cancelled because they were not able to deliver to my address. Strange. I am a frequent online shopper and never had any problems with my address. Anyways I asked for a refund and they promised I'll get my money back within a week or two. Waited two weeks and nothing. When I tried to reach these guys again they did not reply.
They simply need your money. They won't provide your order
I will never again buy from the company www.nerdwax.com. I ordered one pair of sunglasses from them, but these ### fooled me. They charged me within couple of minutes, but after that no info and our communication stopped as well. It was strange and impossible to get any explanation. The website is big scam and rip off, so be aware if you really want to order from them.
ahaha this comment is a scam
they don't sell sunglasses- must be the wrong company.

Tube was almost empty and glasses were fakes
I ordered their glasses and additional tube from www.nerdwax.com. The tube arrived almost empty and the glasses weren’t what I really wanted. I tried to return it, but the seller refused to take it back, because I have used it already. It was a little bit strange for me. Of course, I’m not happy with this situation, but I still need my money back.
Hey Palomer!
This is Don from nerdwax. Since we don't sell glasses on our site I think you must have bought from one of our partners. I'd love to do what I can to resolve the problem... please send me a message at thedon@nerdwax.com and I'll get to the bottom of it!
Thanks
Don
