Savers of a day on the water, April 4, 2005
A Kid's Review
These bands have saved people days on the water I have had fishing. The people would actully be sea sick and put the bands on and be fine within a half an hour. I fish on Lake Huron and it gets rough sometimes for people, but these bands have worked more than times than not. A lot of people don't know about them and we could use more advertisement on them and dealers in the area.
Thank You
Pete Lover

These things are amazing, October 3, 2005
We bought these for my daughter (at the time she was 8) because we were tired of her either loosing her lunch on car trips, or being so loopy from the motion sickness medicine.
She put them on and was doing so well with them that she even rode backwards in the car to talk to her siblings in the backseat on a very wind-y canyon road and didn't feel sick at all!

They work, but they're TIGHT!, November 8, 2006
I'm using these for morning sickness, and they actually do seem to work! In my previous pregnancy, my nausea was an all day thing and nothing helped it but ginger capsules. For some reason, ginger wasn't working this time, so I had my husband pick up a pair of these. I tried them yesterday, and I'll be darned if I didn't feel nearly as sick as I had been for the previous couple of weeks UNTIL I TOOK THEM OFF FOR AWHILE. That's good enough proof for me that it wasn't a coincidence.
I will say that my current nausea is worse when I'm standing or moving around, so that may be why these bands help me and may not make much of a difference to other pregnant women. In my previous pregnancy, it didn't matter what I was doing...my stomach churned constantly and who knows? Maybe bands wouldn't have worked at all.
Pros: Cheap, well-constructed, and they WORK! If they work this well for hormonal nausea, I'm sure they work wonderfully for travel-related sickness.
Cons: My only complaint is that these are a one-size for CHILDREN AND ADULTS. What the heck? I don't have big wrists, and these are so tight on me that the pressure points are still sore after wearing them for about 6 hours YESTERDAY. My hands don't tingle or anything like that, but I can't say they're very comfortable. If the same size works for kids, then they obviously don't have to be this tight to work. Good grief, make an adult size!
To summarize: pressure bands do work, but do yourself a favor and find an adult size. I can't imagine wearing these for more than a few hours at a time, and my morning sickness is not going to take a break!
