Repair swim goggles

**Mermaid Jaffa** · 03-11-2014, 02:03 AM

Hi! As some of you may know, I bought this swim goggles recently, its made especially with my eye prescription.

Due to my lacking a nose bridge I found it leaks alot. I've tightened it until there is no strap left to tighten and it still leaks!

I don't want to refund them as I like having goggles that don't squash my eyeballs and things with my prescription is hard to find, as I have very high astigmatism and very short sighted.

What kind of silicone seal or putty can I use that will be safe for my skin? I was looking at getting Sugru but the website said it wasn't skin safe yet.

Oh update...

I will be the new recipient of a prototype of swimming goggles!! They are based off the one I already got. Its made for the Asian face and has more skirt around the nose area.

Here is the reply when I posted my problem. Waaa! I'm so excited!!

"Hi Irene! You will struggle to find any means of adding material to make your mask watertight but we are arranging for a prototype to be sent to you of an ‘Asian fit’ mask we have been developing. The gasket of this mask is specifically designed for users in certain countries who have a lower and less prominent nose bridge which should resolve your problem. Your feedback would be appreciated."
