Hi Nicole. Speedo just recently came out with Jr Vanquishers... that may be worth a try.

I used to wear Hind Compy goggles; bought them by the dozen. They are no longer made. They were relatively cheap, stayed on during starts, and most importantly, fit. I wear Nike goggles now but the nose piece is terrible. Swedish goggles don't work for me at all. Tree

Yeah, I have this same problem. Growing up and through college my favorite was the Speedo Sprint Goggles. From the time I was done in college to when I started up again (only a few years), they have changed something in the foam and/or the glue of the goggles and they now irritate my eyes to no end. I am now in the trial & error phase...mainly error. I now have the issue of EVERY time I dive in the water, my goggle straps come most of the way down. I don't know what is causing it but it's really annoying. Right now I am wearing the TYR version of the Speedo goggles and they work alright. I just wish the strap would stop falling off when I dive. Racing, I really like the TYR Aqua Shift. I ususally cannot wear any Sweedish styles because they dig into my eye sockets, but these are great.

i use the Jr. Hydrospex. I always have and they were perfect. They recently changed them and now I have the worst time with them. They leak after awhile i tried putting chapstick (someone suggested that to me) they hold for an hour. Last night, i was swimming ina 50 meter pool, almpst to the end it leaked and my contact fell out! Can anyone suggest good goggles? I tried he womans vanquisher and they were not good for me either. Thanks!!!! Hi I suggest you read the postings in the thread "How many goggles in a single workout". Lots of discutions there about goggles. Mainly no one brand/model is the best for everyone. We each have different faces, shapes and sizes. It's all "trial and error". It is costly but there are no alternatives (unless the pool where you swim has a large collection of "lost and found" goggles and will let try a number of them in the water (and then try to identify the one(s) that seem to work best for you). Good Luck
