## Questions & Answers

**Q: The picture says "25 pack". can this be true?**
A: I only received 1 but do not remember the 25 pack on the picture.

**Q: The description box says "for extra-wide ear pieces," but the name says "small end eyewear retainer" - so which is it? will they work on eyeglasses?**
A: Hey Amy,  this one works on eyeglasses which have a wide end at the tip of the frame, the part that rests on your ear. Some frames have a narrow ending, this is for the wide ones. The Chums website has a calculator, use that to measure your spectacles before ordering.

**Q: What is the max length of the cord when opened at its widest?**
A: A little under 13 inches from the tips of the rubber that slides over the ear guards to the top of the securing bead when opened at it's widest. Plenty of room to hang your glasses down below your neck when not in use.

**Q: The rubber retainers have rolled up into a ball within thec loth. What now?**
A: Your guess is as good as mine. Call Chums Customer Support?!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I keep my Chums on all day long and I love them!
*by R***. on November 17, 2014*

I had never used these kind of "retainer" before. To keep my reading glasses (which I have to wear for any up close activity) from slipping down off my nose, I had to keep pushing them back up, constantly. Last summer, I was cleaning out all my plastic storage bins (Boy, do I have a lot!) Since I was wearing rubber gloves, I was pushing my glasses back and getting detergent on them. I had to keep taking off my gloves and taking off my glasses to clean them off. This went on continuously until I took a break and went to my computer to see what they had on Amazon. I ordered Chums right away. When I put them on, they fit smoothly on my glasses and did not slip down. I adjusted the straps in the back to fit around my head snuggly. They fit very comfortably. When I went back to work, I found out that they held my glasses well, keeping them from slipping at all. I need to add that since they are readers, I do need to take them off for regular and distance vision, so they are constantly coming on and off. The chums allow me to do this without my having to readjusting the straps. The straps do not loosen until I loosen them to take them off at night. I wear them all day long. I am very happy with them and I will buy them again!
