A very old proverb says “The true creator is necessity, who is the mother of our invention.” And that couldn’t be more true today. I created Showerspecs for one simple reason: I could not see #$!@ in the shower and I knew I wasn’t alone. I’m proudly over the hill and wear readers daily. I have also been a business owner for over 25 years and was fed up with leading presentations with greasy hair and hairy knees (if you know, you know).

I have also been a business owner for over 25 years and was fed up with leading presentations with greasy hair and hairy knees (if you know, you know).
In 2017, I started prototyping, developing, and testing to figure out how to make readers that didn’t fog, were made of premium materials, and could hang right in the shower. It took almost 3 years because quality was my first priority and in 2020 the Showerspecs® brand was born. Soon after my daughter joined me in the venture…enter pandemic. We realized pretty early into 2020 that Showerspecs® didn’t fog when worn with a mask. This was an “a-ha” moment so we went back to production and made a new line of readers with a lighter frame in flattering styles for everyday use, Clearspecs. They are your new “everyday” reader and are a face mask’s best friend (for all the healthcare heroes). Think in the kitchen for hot ovens, steamy stovetops, and humid dishwashers. Think finally sipping your favorite a hot drink while reading or working and not get an entire face full of steam.
Our philosophy is simple: Let’s make those small everyday moments easier, so you can spend your time living life. The way I see it, life is short and spending time squinting at shampoo bottles is not as fun as spending time with the ones you love.
