    I actually completely forgot about these things, but have known about them for quite some time. I know many people with severe motion sickness who takes these things and say they work Amazing! They can be used for any kind of nausea, and use acupressure to interupt signals of nausea sent to the brain. And another good thing is you can take medication in addition to these things.


    Here's someone's testimonial off the site:

    Recently, I had a bout of gastroenteritis (nausea, upset stomach, cramps, diarrhea). BioBands worked so well to relieve carsickness for my twins, I thought it might help my symptoms. It worked, and was the only thing that kept me going




    I know im getting a pair! Read more at:

    I get really bad motionsickness- even the rowing machine at the gym makes me sick!


    I tried these bands- and personally found them to be a crock of sh*t. I was super excited and wanted them to work, because I travel often and am not too down with taking a pill everytime I was going to be in a car for more than 10 minutes.


    Needless to say, I was extra-pissed when I was crouching behind the car being ill on the side of the highway.

    Kinda reminds me of the birth-control patch that you just slap on your skin like a bandaid. Simply amazing at what we create nowadays.

    I have never used the wristbands before but I went on a cruise a couple years ago and my brother (he was 20 at the time) Got really bad seasick.He was v* every10 mnutes for about 3 hours. My mom went to the pharmacy on the ship and got him some of those wristbands things and put them on him and they worked like a charm. They worked so great infact thatafter hehad them on for aboutan hour, my brother took a shower, got dressed and went upstairs to the bar and had a few drinks and gambled in the casino.He wore them for the rest of the cruise and never got sick again. AMAZING!

    I tried them for morning sickness when I was pregnant with my daughter. I read in a magazine that they work for that. They didn't! I was really sad cause I thought it would be a miracle cure for morning sickness. But that was just me maybe they work for other people! ~Brandi~

    I love them, I used them with my second pregnancy when I had morning sickness so bad, and while it didn't completely get rid of it, it made it tolerable. If I didn't wear them, it was so much worse. It made my second pregnancy tolerable. Its worth a try anyway! Janna

    They were lifesavers for my morning sickness too. I kept them after my pregnancy to wear when I fly. They work wonders there too.

    I work in the travel industry at an office that sells these bands. 50% of our customers say they work, 50% say they don't.

    Shari-baby, I was wondering the same thing. I wore them all the time when I had morning sickness. I don't know if they worked or if was in my head, but just having them on made me feel better.
