Instant Relief Large Blue Aromatherapy Anti-Nausea Bands with Acupressure

These really work. And I only used one! Took these on my cruise and I never got sea sick. Kept it on when we went on our day trip along the Amalfi coast and did not get car sick. I know they work because I normally do get motion sickness on boats and when traveling on winding roads going up mountains. What I loved about them is that they are silicone so they can get wet and they are easy to clean if they do get dirty. I took away a star because they did irritate my skin a little. I’m guessing the peppermint oil, not sure. My skin got red and then flaky. Since I was only wearing one with great results, I just alternated wrists to give my skin a break. Overall, best thing for motion sickness with no drowsy side effects, which is what I was looking for.

Despite all of the poor reviews, I was desperate to try something for my HG during pregnancy. These looked better online than the name brand Sea Bands, so I decided to give them a try. When I opened the package, I noticed they were very, very small (shown in pics, I have small hands and they were tiny in my hand). They looked like they could fit my toddler. And they had these slight tears down them (shown in pics). Looked like if I wore them a few times they would snap in half. I thought I’d try anyways, but they were so tight. And I have very small wrists so I assumed the small wrist size would fit. I wore them for about 2 minutes and they left an indent in my skin (shown in pics) and they started curing my circulation off. I could feel my fingers starting to tingle and my pulse pumping harder. Now, 10 min after removing them, my wrists still hurt. I was very hopeful about this new product but I am sad to say I am very disappointed. I have no idea if they would have worked for my nausea. Although they claim to work in seconds, they didn’t do anything for the 2 mins I was wearing them. Save your money, not worth it.

This helped with my morning sickness for about 2 weeks, but then the effects started to fade. Either the effects faded or I would smell it too much when I was feeling nauseous that I became conditioned to feeling nauseous when I smelt this bracelet.Also, the whole thing with the little nub inside that is supposed to hit some pressure point to relieve nausea... doesn't work. In order for it to effectively alleviate nausea it not only has to be in the right spot, but it also has to apply the right amount of pressure. Because it is wrapped around your wrist, if the band is tight enough to apply the appropriate amount of pressure, it is also squeezing my wrist and cutting off circulation. Ive tried several sizes (XS, S, and M).

I saw some bad comments but let me tell you these things work. I have been dealing with nuasa twice daily for months now, first think in the moring and around 4pm and it would last about 45 mins to a coue hrs sometimes even resulting in me heving up my guts. The bands got here in a day. At first I was so confused as to how to find the pressure point to put it on. Honestly I just ened up winging it. At first I thought it was to tight but after a couple minutes I forgot it was there my wrist is about 6" around). I've had it on for several days straight and I havent been nausus ONCE!!! So worth it!

I am using these for morning sickness and I can say that for the last four days I have felt back to normal. They didn’t work right off the bat but seemed to take a few days to reach full effectiveness. The peppermint smell wears off quickly but that wasn’t an issue for me since I was more interested in the acupuncture aspect of it. I will say that it caused major irritation on only one of my wrists. I thought I might be allergic to the rubber used but my left wrist has no signs of irritation. The only thing I can think of is maybe this one band had more of the oil soaked into it and that caused it. Overall, this isn’t enough of an issue for me to discontinue use.

I bought the largest size I could find, and the bands were way too tight. I had bought a different brand/kind of these bands, which were also too tight, and I was hoping to find something that was secure enough to work properly but wasn't super constricting. I have average-sized wrists, so I'm not sure why I'm having so many issues trying to find bands that will work. I'm switching back to my old bands for now because the material is at least more comfortable and forgiving than these are.

This is the second pair of bands I have purchase. My wrist measures 6 1/4 inches. I purchased the child bands (3.5 - 6.25 inches) which is also the same as the adult XS-M, but it was too small. Then I purchased the adult M-XL (for 6.25 and larger), but it's too big. Is there a way to make these fit properly?!?!Update: I contacted NoMo regarding the sizing. Customer service was helpful. I am able to wear the smaller bands comfortably for serveral hours at a time. I gave the larger bands to my mother, they fit her perfectly.

Very comfortable . I didn’t feel nauseous at all when I wore them. Love the scent as well
