Every time I get a new pair of glasses, I promise myself that I will take good care of them. I won’t throw them on the couch and then accidentally sit on them, I won’t toss them in my purse and let them get all twisted and bent, and I most definitely will not knock them off the table and accidentally step on them.

We all know how this story goes; inevitably, my glasses end up a broken mess, earpieces twisted off, nose pieces askew, and lenses crooked. That’s why I was excited when I heard we would be adding flexible readers to our inventory. You might have seen these glasses before – you can twist them in your hand, and as soon as you let go, they *pop* back into place, no damage done. They’re perfect for anyone who has a grabby baby or toddler in the house, or for those of us who take our glasses everywhere.

Sounds great, right? What’s better is that there are some great choices (and lots of different looks) in the flexible reader. My favorite of the new arrivals would have to be the colorful Rio. These reading glasses are cute and fun, with a mix of patterns to choose from, whether you love animal prints or plaid. There’s the black and orange leopard…

the green zebra…

or the blue and red plaid…

plus three other varieties. With a modern lens shape and lightweight frame, these glasses are both easy to wear and stylish, and even though the low price ($13.56) means it wouldn’t hurt too much if you were to break them, the flexible frame means they’ll take a lot more abuse than your typical pair of glasses.

Curious? Try out one of our new flexible readers and let us know what you think!
