5.0 out of 5 stars They've Changed My Life, July 4, 2006

I don't want to be indelicate, but I am a puker. I have been very susceptible to nausea and motion sickness since I was a kid. I couldn't ride anything more adventurous than the ferris wheel without paying a horrible price. Both of my pregnancies (18+ years ago) resulted in nine months of nausea. My first couple of overseas flights (back when they let people smoke on the plane--which did NOT help my queasiness) included the lovely experience of using one of those air sickness bags. You get the picture. I asked a doctor to prescribe scopolamine patches back in the late eighties--and they worked--mainly by drugging me senseless so that I slept during the flight and spent my first few hours on land in a fog. Plus--one girl in our group made the mistake of touching her scopolamine patch and rubbing her eyes, ending up with dilated pupils for several hours. I don't know WHEN or WHERE I discovered Sea Bands several years ago, but for ME they work AMAZINGLY well. I can actually fly in a plane now and look out the window at the landscape. I can ride in a car in the back seat and sometimes even read a newspaper or magazine. The bands are comfortable, machine washable, and they WORK. I put them on at the start of any car or airplane trip. If I find myself feeling a little queasy, I simply apply a little pressure to the button on my inner wrist. I love the fact that a simple accupressure mechanism helps me manage nausea and queasiness without drugs! I used them following surgery and did not experience any post-anesthesia nausea. My college-aged daughter recommends them to friends to help with post-party illness. I sometimes think that there is a bit of a <u>Pixie Dust</u> factor to them (you have to believe that they will work, but hey--attitude helps a lot of things.) A fellow teacher suffers from chronic migraines, and one day either the migraine or the medicine she was taking for her headache left her feeling severely nauseated, so I lent her the set of sea bands I keep in my purse. At the end of the day she told me they had helped her tremendously. Whenever I travel now I carry several sets so that I can distribute them to any family members who might need them. I put on my pair as a preventative for any car trip lasting over an hour.

4.0 out of 5 stars It really works!, February 7, 2005

This really works!! I have suffered from sea sickness and motion sickness my whole life (boats/roller coasters,etc). I discovered these one day by accident and took a chance. They are wonderful and I have been using them for years.

The only small discomfort is that if you wear them for a long time the place on your inner wrist where the plastic part applies pressure aches a bit. But, compared to being sea sick it is really worth it. (Oh, and it looks kinda dorky when you wear it. The should make it a neutral color.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for morning sickness!, July 11, 2005

I've been suffering from 'Morning Sickness" (don't know why it's called morning sickness, because for me it's all day sickness)for 4 weeks now. I bought these as a last resort and was amazed how well they worked. I enjoyed eating a meal for the 1st time in 4 weeks! It gets uncomfortable for long periods of time but I would rather be uncomfortable wearing them than the alternative - NAUSEA!!
