Swimming googles= ugly red rings!

Beanies

Hi! Does anybody know any tricks on improving red circles left around the eyes from goggles? I have adjusted my goggles time and time again to make sure they are not too tight but still am left looking like I just got beaten up. I've tried loads of different makes and models but I still get the ugly red rings. Any suggestions?

You may still have them too tight. The should fit snugly, but not tightly on your face. You will have a mark after you take them off, but it should disappear after a couple of minutes.

I have always used speedo goggles. Been using them for years and never had this problem. That said i'd recommend that you don't buy the cheapest pair because you usually get what you pay for. Try get a pair where the strap at the back of the head is split in two as this ensures a much better fit....... and like that last person said, the goggles should be a snug fit but not tight.

I used to get these pretty bad. The biggest difference I found was changing goggles to Zoggs Predators. They're very comfortable with soft eye-cups (albeit not the most stylish looking goggles ever made).

Are you allergic to the neoprene foam used in goggles ?
