FAQs

What size frames is this retainer best suited for?

This is the 'Small Frame' version, ideal for smaller eyewear. For larger frames, Chums offers other sizes.

How do I attach the retainer to my glasses?

The retainer features fitted latex tips that slide over the ends of your glasses' temples (the arms).

Can I wear this retainer in water activities like swimming or surfing?

While it can be used during water activities, the cotton material will absorb water. It is best suited for activities where the eyewear needs to be secure but not fully submerged for extended periods. It is not designed as a flotation device.

How long does the retainer last?

The retainer is made from durable cotton and is backed by a lifetime warranty, indicating it's built for long-term use with proper care.

Is the retainer adjustable?

Yes, it features an adjustable bead that allows you to customize the fit, whether you want your eyewear snug against your face or hanging loosely around your neck.

What colors are available?

This specific product description mentions 'Royal Blue' and 'Navy' options within the 'Blue' color family. Other colors may be available in different listings.

Can I wash the retainer?

Yes, the retainer is washable. Hand wash with mild soap and allow it to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Eyewear still slipping

Ensure the latex tips are fully and securely wrapped around the eyewear frame ends. Try adjusting the bead for a tighter fit closer to the face.

Retainer feels too tight/loose

Adjust the position of the sliding bead along the cotton cord to find your preferred level of tightness.

Cotton material feels stiff after washing

Ensure the retainer is air-dried thoroughly. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Gentle hand washing and air drying should maintain softness.
