    Default Motion Sickness bands?

    Will they work for just vomiting? Should I get one? Do they even work?

    I haven't used them because thankfully motion does not bother me. I work on the engines of boats, and see many people use them and swear that they work. Being morbidly curious about anything V related; I have asked plenty of questions, too!

    Thanks,
    David

    They had this thing on Mythbusters once and they said that they didnt work. I think it might be a placebo thing but I have never tried them myself.

    We used to use them on my little brother because he always got motion problems and they always worked on him. I think it's because they're supposed to be put on the pressure points of the wrists that helps

    My mother used to use these when flying but I've never tried them myself.

    I've also heard the thing about them maybe being a placebo, but honestly, with how much our heads can contribute to nausea (cuz being anxious makes it all worse), a placebo could still work wonders

    I think they're pretty cheap, give it a shot

    I used them and they didn't work for me. They actually cut off circulation which felt awful...and I'm a pretty small girl so it wasn't that they were too small. I find that non-drowsy dramamine works well for me for motion sickness.
