We’ve all been there – sunglasses slipping off your shirt collar, tumbling onto the sidewalk or vanishing into the abyss of your car seat. Some very unlucky folks have seen their glasses take the plunge in the restroom. Eww. Finding the right way to keep your eyewear secure is more than a convenience; sunglasses, specs, and readers are essential tools for your busy day. From straps to cords to badges, there are plenty of options, and now there is a new option available - SunBuddy! What is the best solution for you?
1. Neck Straps, Cables, Chains & Lanyards
These classic cords have been around for decades. They’re practical and affordable, often made from neoprene, nylon, or leather. While they get the job done, they can look bulky and often clash with modern eyewear styles. Perfect for outdoor adventures, but not so much for a polished look. As for chains…granny chains? Chains get tangled in long hair and feel tired and outdated.
2. Magnetic Eyewear Holders
Magnetic retainers or badges attach easily to shirts without piercing a hole in your clothing, which is good news. The drawback is folks have to remember to remove the badge after each use otherwise it will be tossed in the laundry and become lost, too. Another consideration - the magnetic holder should not be used by people with heart conditions that require pacemakers or defibrillators. Magnetic holders are popular with people in professions that require scrubs.
3. DIY Solutions
Leaning over is something we do all day long throughout our busy days whether reading over your desk or chasing after your pooch. Tucking your sunglasses, prescription eyewear, or readers into your neckline is one of the most common ways to drop and scratch your favorite glasses. Pushing glasses to the top of your head can stretch out the temple arms and make them even more likely to slip off and land with a thump on the ground. Yes, it may be the easiest solution, but it is also one of the most common causes of lost or broken glasses.
4. Introducing SunBuddy – Save Your Sunnies with Style
SunBuddy isn’t just another accessory, it’s a fresh take on eyewear retention that blends clever design with smart style. SunBuddy features a rigid clip molded to a silicon sleeve that is designed to secure your sunglasses, specs, or readers to your shirt collar without detracting from your look. SunBuddy comes in three colors, Black Sand, Koa Brown, and Sandcastle, that can go stealth or standout depending on the SunBuddy color you select and the color of your eyewear. A definite plus – there are no dangling cords or obvious badges to detract from your style. But if you want to add a little personality to your sunnies, SunBuddy surf-inspired longboard stickers can add a pop of color and fun to your look. SunBuddy is about more than just saving your shades; SunBuddy aims to help you save time, money and the planet, too, by reducing the amount of lost or broken eyewear that end up in our waterways and landfills.
Look around you. Most folks would rather lose their valuable eyewear that use any of the options on the market…until now. SunBuddy aims to be the eyewear retainer of choice for folks around the world.
