Reliefband Premier Anti-Nausea Wristband for Motion Sickness, Morning Sickness, Travel & Vomiting Relief - Motion Sickness Wristband FDA Cleared Drug-Free, Fast-Acting, Nausea Relief Band (Charcoal)

It made our trip to Maui enjoyable

First, let me say that I have used the Reliefband Classic (simpler model) for years & actually really like that version. BUT, if I could give the "premier" model negative stars, I would. I feel like I had $300 stolen from me for how useless this band is.There was absolutely no thought or consideration to how this band was designed for actual customer use, they just made something that looked good on paper. The biggest & glaring error is the shape of the actual band was changed with this model so that it actually doesn't lie flush with the skin as it has a strange oblong shape, which also makes it uncomfortable. Secondly, the clasp doesn't keep the band tight whatsoever, and continually loosens. There is no way to keep it fixed. So, it cannot administer the relief, because it doesn't have good contact with the skin. AND, since it slides around, it isn't making contact with the conductive jelly, which then means it's burning your skin that isn't "lubed up".Even the charging cord is terrible. And, while in concept, a usb cord sounds great...as opposed to changing a watch battery. The magnetic cord doesn't connect well to the band & just falls off constantly because the magnet is so weak. Add to that... the cord is 3 inches long so you have to precariously position it SO precisely & delicately that any movement whatsoever means it doesn't charge. Talk about ADDED disappointment when it's time to use it only to find out your finicky charging cord didn't actually charge the device. THIS IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY.Lastly, when I pointed out these design flaws to customer service in suggestions for a better future design...they insulted me by sending me "how to" tips on making sure you know "how to turn it on" & "making sure it was charged" prior to use. Seeing how the issues aren't how to see if it's charged or how to actually turn it on, customer service was completely useless. I told them their suggestions had nothing to do with my feedback, and they literally said "I apologize, but those are the troubleshooting suggestions we are able to provide for most effective use".I would be better served chewing ginger prior to travel than wasting money on this sham of a product. DO NOT FALL PREY! Throw your money directly into a burning dumpster instead...it will be quicker with less nausea.

My wife has been prone to motion sickness in cars and in airplanes for years. I was tired of being told to slow down when driving on winding roads, so I got the Reliefband Premier before our vacation to the Smokey Mountains. She had absolutely no nausea on five days worth of day trips through the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. None. She started on level 5 of the Reliefband settings but found that level 3 was fine. She even fell asleep in the car when we were driving through the park. I'd give it more stars for effectiveness if I could.Once she had the pads in the right spot on the underside of her wrist, the face of the Reliefband was a bit off-center towards the little finger. (Just for reference, my wife is 5'5", not overweight, and wore it on her left hand). It was only a little uncomfortable. Maybe awkward would be a better word. Just know it may not fit like a watch, if that's what you're expecting. It was definitely worth the money.

uggg, this product should be ~$100...painful that it was $200. Having said that, yes it seemed to actually work. I don't know about the interception of nerve signals between the brain and the stomach or if it is simply a good distraction; my stomach hurts so step on my toe. Would the Electronic Pulse Stimulators (available at the local drugstore for a fraction of the price) also work just as well? Yes I believe so. However, this wrist version is obviously portable whereas the EPSs are not.I read the other reviews and agree the charging cable is stupidly short; annoying for sure, but had no issues charging the unit at all. Battery life over the week of use was excellent, lasted through the night and appeared that it could have gone 12 hours easy. I did have issues getting it to work on me in the beginning of each use. I used the gel and it seemed to work once the gel dried, however, I had to fiddle with it and put pressure on the connections to my wrist to get it to work. I noticed the longer I had it on, the better it worked and after a few hours it was just working in the background perfectly. It very well could have just been the way I was wearing it, not sure. But again, the longer I had it on the better it worked.I can't say for sure that it kept me from getting sick, but I do believe that it definitely helped. It's also possible that it did absolutely nothing other than provide a distraction.So would I buy it again knowing what I know now ? Unfortunately YES, because I do believe it works and I know it's too expensive.Good luck...
