great product for me by Rochelle from Delaware OH USA
Pros: alittle bulky Cons: having to add more conductive gel often or it feels like it is not working as well Review: I have always dreaded flying due to motion sickness that make me feel sick for longer than just the flight. This band allowed me to fly to California from Ohio and not be sick. It has met my expectations.

I definately would buy this product again. I will order after I finish this review by Edward from Staten Island NY USA
Pros: Easy to use, effective and truly wonderful. Cons: None to mention. Review: Just back from a Adriatic cruise. Not once did I have discomfort while I had my unit on. With out it I was not happy with the motion I felt. As soon as I got it back on and operational I calmed down. Just wonderful.

I would recommend this product to others by A Customer from PA
Pros: Worked Great totally without having to take Bonine or Dramamine Cons: Wish it looked more like a watch when wearing short sleeves Review: The relief band worked great in controlling nausea. I was able to go o The Maid of the Mist in Niagara Falls with no problem at all.

Total refief from motion sickness! by Julie from New Boston NH USA
Pros: Effective and easy to use Cons: The band is a little awkward for a small wrist Review: The Relief Band really works! I have had years of miserable flying as a passenger, to the point that I stopped wanting to go anywhere in the plane due to severe motion sickness. A friend loaned me his relief band to try and it was so great, I bought my own. For the first time ever in my life (I am 44!), I looked out the window of the plane (a Piper Cherokee) -- took foliage pictures, and had lunch at our destination, and returned home on a full stomach -- all without any vomiting or even nausea. I was initially nervous about it but it is easy to use, and gives a very distinct sensation in my hand that lets me know it is positioned properly.

it works by ANNE COONEY from VERO BEACH FL USA
Review: I spent a week on the Sea Cloud in the Med. I usually get very seasick and have to take lots of medication. I felt fine the whole time and just dialed it up when the seas got rough.

This product really works! by Yvette from
Review: I've had motion sickness all my life...I tried my future daughter in-law's Relief Band while I was out visiting her in Philedelphia and it worked awesome! I couldn't believe it! So I decided to buy one for myself. The band is a little expensive, but it is definitely worth investing in.

I wish I had this product years ago! by A Customer from Bristol VA USA

I would recommend this product by A Customer from Santa Fe TX USA
Pros: The watch is easy to use. Cons: Too large for my wrist. Review: I wore the ReliefBand Explorer during my flight to Scotland and also during the ferry trip from Kirkwall to Westray on the North Sea and had no problems with motion sickness. The seas were not very rough so don't know how much my review helps but, I will be using it again the next time I ferry or am in a situation that may cause motion sickness.

I would buy this relief band again by Joe from Westminster CA USA
Pros: its perfect Cons: Might not work for everyone Review: This relief band is perfect for the Salt Water fisherman. I and others use this instead of the Patch which makes you drowsey and lifeless. You don't even have to turn it on unless you feel like Seasickness is coming on. Then turn it on and the Seasickness is Gone. I use Number 3 to eliminate the Symtoms.

I would recommend this product to others. by Melvin from Greenwood IN USA
Pros: Simple and easy to use. Cons: Bulky on the wrist, but not uncomfortable. Review: It met my expectations. I had no vertigo symptoms when wearing it during heavy sea swales or constant ship rolling.

Pros: it works Review: I would buy this product again.

Works pretty well ! by Susan from Shawnee Mission KS USA
Pros: works well for mild to moderate motion; I don't have to use the motion sick bag! Cons: During exteme motion; It doesn't keep me from feeling sick. Review: The motion band works pretty well. Put it on right away; don't wait until you are already feeling dizzy or sick. When the motion is really intense; I don't think the band can keep up but I get motion sick very easily.

Relieved Dad by ROBERT from BREVARD NC USA
Review: I bought it as a surprise gift for my adult daughter as replacement for the ReliefBand that she has worn continuously for five years during sailing and as operator or passenger in ground vehicles and large and small aircraft. Necessarily a frequent commuter, she declares that in eliminating her severe motion sickness, the ReliefBand "changed my life as a traveler," even essentially extinguishing her fear of flying.

Great Product! by Christi from Cedar Park TX USA
Review: We took this to Disney and rode the Misson to Mars simulator ride @ Epcot. The device worked like a charm.

It did help! by A Customer from TX USA
Review: It did make a difference. Could only wear on lowest setting as higher was unconfortable and annoying.
Monday, August 31, 2009
Outstanding product by Frank from Norton MA USA
Pros: Very simple and easy to use. Cons: None Review: Have purchased three ReliefBands. They do exactly as promised and work under the most extreme circumstances. Motion sickness is a thing of the past for my wife and two daughters. They love this product.

would recommend for chronic motion sickness by A Customer from Sunland CA USA
Pros: Works well, easy to use & transport Cons: Kind of bulky, could be a smaller housing design for women Review: My daughter has suffered from chronic motion sickness since she was 2 years old. She is now 20 & has seen many doctors & even had an MRI, but the only treatment offered was over the counter motion sickness pills, even by a Neurologist! Any parent wants to relieve their childs suffering, but all we were told was 'she might outgrow it'. Our friend, a massage therapist, suggested Relief band & it worked extremely well. My daughter also has TMJ & is being treated for this separately, but she had a terrible combination of jaw pain, migraines & motion sickness. The Relief band has helped almost eliminate her motion sickness. She has a combination of preventative migraine meds & therapy for the TMJ. I explain all this because I had little success finding options & I hope it helps someone else with multiple problems that contribute to motion sickness.

worth it by A Customer from Kaycee WY USA
Pros: Easy to use. It does help/work. Cons: Strange looking. The battery cover came off several times, which didn't change anything. Review: I have motion sickness (severe), planes, cars, etc. I bought the Relief Band for our 1st cruise. It really worked on the plane, buses, and train. I only needed it twice on the ship. Once it helped and once it worked. It's kind of dorky looking. You can't wear other bracelets with it, but hey, I would wear it strapped to my forehead if it keeps me from feeling puny! I will probably carry it in my purse from now on in case I have to ride in the back seat.

LIFE SAVER by ROGER from BEVERLY HILLS CA USA
Pros: ALL GOOD Cons: NONE Review: IT WAS EASY. MET MY EXPECTATIONS. I WAS ON A BOAT FOR 6 DAYS. WAS ABLE TO ADJUST IT WHEN I THOUGHT I NEEDED TO.
Monday, August 24, 2009
Not a cure all by David from Sacramento CA USA
Pros: Works for as long as you need it. Cons: Is not 100% effective Review: From reading the other reviews, I was expecting more. My wife and I took the relief bands on a 7 day Alaskan cruise. We both suffer from motion sickness. On the open ocean I felt dizzy but I still could eat. I beleive my wife's experience was a little better. I am not sure if Dramamine would have been just as effective. On the plus side, we wore them 24/7 and didn't have to keep taking pills. For the money I just hoped that it would have been more effective.
Monday, August 17, 2009
Did not work for my wife by Phil from Seattle WA USA
Pros: None in this case Cons: Didn't work Review: In fairness, I have heard of other people who have used this product and found it effective... but it definitely did nothing for my wife. We were (still are) on a ship in the Bering Sea, and last week we headed out of Dutch Harbor Alaska in some pretty awful seas (bad enough that I felt queasy, and I'm never seasick). We had high hopes for the ReliefBand, but it failed to prevent her from being as seasick as she usually is in such conditions, and she spent a couple of miserable days before she recovered.

Remarkable! by William D. from Katy TX USA
Pros: It really works! Cons: Don't have any, just move it around on your wrist until you feel the currents. Review: My son inherited my motion sickness, which I was born with. He had to fly for the first time this summer (at 17 yrs old) and I found this item on the internet. Since I had taken Dramamine many times when I flew in the past, I did not want him to have to take it. Well, he wore the ReliefBand from Houston to Atlanta and back, without any sickness at all. He was so thankful, since he typically gets seasick even riding in a car too long. He also wore it on a 9 hour car ride to Joplin, Missouri and did not get sick.

It actually works by Seattle ATCer from bonney lake WA USA
Pros: cures motion sickness as well as anything else on the market and you dont have to take drowsy drugs. also it can be used when you start to feel the sicknesss coming on instead of before. Cons: it does "shock you" and you have to wear a watch which can be unsightly Review: This watch seems like something you would see on late night tv where everyone is so enthralled with it and it works so well that you have to have it. Whats the catch, it cost 140 bucks. Well the difference is this think rocks. It really works. WE bought it for my fiance on a cruise we were going on. She gets motion sickness fairly easily. Well she didn't end up getting sea sick but she used it on a train ride and said it work perfectly when she started to get sick. I used one night in a drunken daze and it worked well for me too! Since then we use it in the car and anywhere else. It has allowed us to do things that we could do before for fear of motion sickness. Get it,Try it, It's for REAL.

Does everything it claims! by A Customer from
Pros: Easy and works well Cons: None Review: I bought this for my mom because flying has always made her very sick. Since we live on opposite coasts, this is the problem. She has tried everything from medication to the motion sickness patch. This was the first and only thing that worked! She was skeptical, but gave it a try anyway and couldn't believe the results. I would recommend this to anyone who has problem flying.

WHAT MOTION SICKNESS? by J. E.T. from Effingham IL USA
Pros: does what it advertised to do Cons: expensive price Review: Since I have been using the ReliefBand I haven't felt bad at all. It has met all my expectations so far. Love the ReliefBand but hated the expensive price.

Thought I would hate to cruise by Julie from Cordova, TN
Pros: Quick and full relief from nausea Cons: Addictive! Didn't want to take it off! Review: I get motion sick watching waves on the ocean, watching a merry-go-round, swinging in a swing, etc., so when I had to accompany my daughter on a cruise, I was very concerned. I had all of the medications but my sister insisted I try her bracelet as she had used it successfully on a previous cruise. I stuck it in my bag and boarded Amtrak to get to New Orleans. A few hours later, I got deathly motion sick. Then, I remembered the Relief Band in my bag. I was skeptical as I had felt this way so often and it usually took a full day to recover. However, believe it or not, I felt completely fine in 15 minutes. NEVER before have I felt better that quickly. So, for the cruise, I wore it the entire time except one night, when I was having trouble getting to sleep with the electrical pulse, I turned it off. I woke up deathly sick, turned it on, and drifted off to blissful sleep 15 minutes later. After I got home, I didn't want to take it off because I get motion sick doing just the most mundane daily things. I am going to buy my own and test it at a theme park. I love to ride rides but always, always get sick after just one roller coaster. If this works, I'll be forever grateful!
Monday, August 03, 2009
It Works! by M from Houston TX USA
Pros: It works Cons: None Review: Although I was skeptical, it worked just like my friends said. 5 minutes of "zapping" and a little gingerale and I was fine. I was nervous about living on a boat (72') for a week, but I had a great time and now I know I can do it again, as long as I have my ReliefBand!

Not beautiful but it works! by Cindy from Lake Barrington IL USA
Pros: No drugs. No side effects. No motion sickness. Cons: Not very attractive. Moves around too much on wrist. Cannot use in water. Review: I get extremely motion sick and need to use the Transdermal patch while in a boat or scuba diving. I wanted to take flying lessons but needed to find a FAA approved alternative. I was not optimistic. My doctor suggested the ReliefBand and I gave it a try. What a surprise. It really works. I wish I could wear it under water.
Sunday, August 02, 2009
Works well! by A Customer from Arlington VA USA
Pros: Easy to use Cons: Gets a bit uncomfortable after a while Review: I've used this in the car without any problems with motion sickness like I used to get. Also used it parasailing with great success. I really like it!
Saturday, August 01, 2009
It works!! by Paula from Lakeland, FL
Pros: It works!! No drugs needed; Small enough to keep on your person at all times. Cons: it made me feel like my hand was asleep, but it was well worth it! Review: I was very skeptical of this, but decided to give it a try. I get motion sick if I turn my head too fast! I wore the Relief Band on the plane and didn't get sick for the first time! It worked so well, I decided I'd try whale watching at Cape Cod. We were in 7 foot swells. Before the Relief Band, I would never have gotten on the boat. I had to turn it up to 5, but it worked and I didn't get sick! One night, I wasn't feeling well. My stomach felt bad and sort of nauseous. I put the band on to see if it would help and my nausea immediately went away! This device can change your life!

Worked for my morning sickness! by A Customer from Vancouver WA USA
Review: This band did help with my morning sickness and I wore it morning noon and night. As long as I wore it before heavy symptoms started. That is why sometimes I slept with it on. The trick is feeling the current run down to your middle finger. That's when you know it's in the correct position. The level I kept it at was 3 or 4 dependin on how sick I was feeling. Buy some cheap water based lubricant and it will greatly help the current.

Great Product by A Customer from Alexandria VA USA
Review: I've struggled with motion sickness for years and had gotten accustomed to being ill for the first couple of days on our family cruise. For the first time, I was not ill and had a really enjoyable trip. I look forward to trying this product on a smaller boat and having the same results.
Monday, July 27, 2009
by Glenda from Quincy CA USA
Pros: I can read in the car, I can fly in a plane Cons: A little uncomfortable on the wrist, but I don't care, it's worth it... I do have a problem dealing with getting the cover thing back on when I put new batteries in, and if I leave the batteries in they seem to go dead even though I thought the Relief Band was turned off. Also, it would be nice if the Relief Band was smaller. Review: Are you kidding! I won't fly without one! The reason for my recent purchase is that I misplaced my older Relief Band and needed one for a trip to L.A. --- Most of the time my Relief Band definitely gives me relief! The only time I have been wearing it where I still get a little sick is when I've been out on a boat on rough water. I'm okay for a while, but eventually the up and down motion still gets to me. --- When I wear the band in the car I can actually read, and I have never been able to do that before! The "Myth Busters" claim the band doesn't work, but I don't think they put it on early enough before they started their activity, and their activity might have been a little much anyway.... -- I do plan to order another Relief Band for my daughter who also has a problem with motion sickness...

It saved my trip! by Renee from Kernville CA USA
Pros: It worked! Cons: Left it one night at level 4 and went to sleep. Woke up with a slight bruise. Review: We spent 8 days on a boat in the Galapagos and I never had a bad day. The seas were rough at night, especially at dinner, but I was fine. I shared my band for a couple of hours with another passenger whose "perscription strength" nausia medication was not working. She was already quite ill and the band at level 5 had her feeling better in 20 minutes. It was a good test and she was very impressed.
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
Definite buy by David from Mt Pleasant SC USA
Pros: Light, long lasting batteries, not uncomfortable to use while sleeping Cons: Sometimes hard to "find" exact location to hit the proper nerve to be effective for nausia but not terribly so Review: Having been a long time ocean cruiser for many years I have seen and tried every gadget and medication available. Many of the medicatios worked ok, but most had side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, etc. None of the pressure point wrist bands or other devices ever gave me relief in significant sea conditions - until the Relief Band Explorer. Having used it on a 1600 mile Atlantic passage to Bermuda and back to the US is worked perfectly in sea conditions as big as 20 feet. One other crew person who always got seasick used it and it provided the same relief for her as well. I think this is the best product out there by far and have started giving them to any guest who has a tendancy to get seasick.

caveat emptor by Karin from Mansfield OH
Review: Be very careful - this item comes with an inflexible 10 day return policy. It didn't work for me and now I have a $129. clunky wrist bauble.

This Thing Really Works by C Keeton777 from Elberta AL USA
Pros: Will alleviate motion sickness after its onset Cons: High setting my be, not painful, but disconcerting Review: Two guests aboard my 35' Carver became ill while at anchor waiting for a Blue Angels show. I gave them my Relief Band which they shared 10 minutes on/off. Both were fine. I recently let two fellow passengers aboard a 300' sailing ship use it. One got immediate relief and subsequent prevention but the other's recovery took nearly a day. I did not ask him about what setting he used.

Vacation saver! by A Customer from Castro Valley CA USA
Pros: Easy to use. Works! Cons: Design is clunky-looking, and strap is cheap. Should be redesigned. Review: I started getting motion sickness when traveling in our SUV and had been taking over-the-counter medication, which tended to make me sleepy but kept me from being queasy. Then I found out about the ReliefBand, and it changed my life. Now I just strap on the band and I'm good to go anywhere. Have also used it on cruises and it works perfectly!
Saturday, June 20, 2009
Not working for me by Sandra from Melbourne FL USA
Pros: Works as advertised and is simple Cons: Didn't work for me on the open seas. Is a little clunky Review: This is my second one as my first corroded so I will take better care of this one. However it did not prevent my sea sickness on this last cruise! Not sure why, but I know I am a tough case. Never had problems before using the watch which I use on all air flights.

I would buy this product again if I needed a spare one. by James B. from Huntington Beach CA USA
Cons: I wasn't totally impressed with the flexible band Review: I used the relief band on my recent trip to Hawaii and it worked as advertised. This is a great product for anyone that has motion sickness.
Monday, June 15, 2009
An assist. by A Customer from Cincinnati OH USA
Pros: A definite assist. Cons: The hand feels shocky, and if placed on the wrong part of the wrist, skin abrasions result. Review: Although I am not a pilot and have only used this product for land-based motion sickness, I have had some success. Rather than the severe motions sickness I often experience, the effect is much lessened by the band. I have found, however, that the gel goes much faster than the website specified so I have had to order more.
Thursday, May 28, 2009
I will buy again! by A Customer from Alamosa CO USA
Pros: Everything! It works just like it says! Cons: Very big and bulky. Would like to see more colors and sizes Review: I absolutely loved this reliefband. It worked well for me on both our cruise and our flight. When I would start to feel alittle more queasy, I would increase the pulse and it worked great! I am buying another one for my daughter who tends to get motion sickness. Highly recommend if you don't want to take medications.

The best $129 you could spend by Brenda from Kaukauna, WI
Pros: Easy to use, effective Review: I went on a 7-day cruise, and was worried that I would have motion sickness, as I can get sick sitting in the passenger seat of a car! We had a "rolly" day at sea, so I turned the watch to setting #2, and never once felt sick at all. I didn't take any other pills, just used the watch. While others around me didn't feel well, I was fine. I would highly recommend this to others.

Relief Band by Marlene from Waunakee WI USA
Pros: It's a life saver-I now own 4 Cons: your wrist gets a little soar after hrs of use, but better then being sick Review: I bought the relief band to go deep sea fishing... I have tried everything!!! Nothing has ever worked...I even gave it to 2 of my brothers and it worked for them, they have since purchased them... It's a life saver, if you've ever gotten sea sick, I also use it in airplanes when needed.... The captain of the boat we rent, also keeps one on hand, he told us there were 3 girls and they had to keep trading it off and on to each other... If You've ever gotten sea sick ...try this!!!

motion of the ocean reliever by John from Tyler TX USA
Pros: controlled the sea sick "irk" feeling Cons: looks like a big ugly watch Review: Just returned from a cruise in the Gulf of Mexico where there were very ruff waters and the relief band saved my life. It controlled the queezy feeling, and I could enjoy the trip.

Prevented motion sickness on cruise by Jane from Chelsea MI USA
Review: My 17 yo daughter had significant motion sickness on our last cruise. I purchased relief band for her and she used it last week on a caribbean cruise - excellent results - no complaints - easy to use and effective. I purchased one for myself and never felt the need to use it as I thought the seas were fairly calm.

Here's the proof you need by John Hefty from Las Vegas, NV
Pros: it works Cons: You get sick if you take it off. That's becaus it works. Test it yourself. Review: I was fishing off shore near Pensacola, Florida a few years back and I had the unit with me in case the waves picked up as I am prone to sickness. I put the band on. I was fine, people were starting to get sick. This was a large charter boat. A friend was getting sick and since I was feeling ok, I took the band off and gave it to him after he fed the fish overboard. He took the band, put it on, and went inside and fell asleep on a bench for an hour or so. But, then I got sick. Having no choice, I quietly took back the device off the sleeping friend's arm(he didn't look sick and I was) and in short order, I was back fishing again. That was my proof that it worked but that's not all. My friend woke up a short time later and came to the rail and fed the fish again. I felt very bad for him but I was not about to give up the wrist band because the seas were heavy and I needed that band to keep my sanity. Was I too selfish? I now own two.

Prevent Motion-sickness Without Drugs! by Julanne from Birmingham AL USA
Pros: It eliminates motion-sickness. Cons: There is really no downside to this. You just have to use the lubricant that comes with it. Review: I have been a ReliefBand user for about 10 years. This is the third one I have had ( I lost the other two.) When using this product, I can even read and ride in the back seat without getting sick. I just can't recommend it enough. It met all my expectations.

I highly recommend this product for motion sickness by A Customer from Brooklyn Park MN USA
Pros: Works as intended Cons: Shock is quite as strong and can be a nuissance Review: I get motion sickness very easily and in the past would have never been able to be on any boat ride or even in the back of the car without staring straight ahead. However with this product I was able to go on a sunset cruise in Cabo, MX. With the ReliefBand, I did not feel the waves at all! Though, the shock is quite strong (on level 2) and you can really feel it all of the time, it was worth it being able to go out into the sea on the boat and not get sick.

Couldn't live without it!!!! by A Customer from North Haledon NJ USA
Pros: It really took away the vomiting -- wouldn't be without it. Cons: The cover to the battery area does not always stay closed. Review: Purchased the product for my mom who was going for surgery. I already had one -- and my mom used it the last time she had surgery -- and she was not sick from the medications at all with the band. Works the same for me. I used to have unbeliveable dizzy episodes which made me very sick to my stomach -- then I got the band. It didn't get rid of the dizzy episodes, but it did take away the sickness. It works like a miracle!!

This Watch is wonderful by A Customer from San Jose CA USA
Pros: It works!!! Cons: It is hard to put on by yourself and you need to hold your hand still in order for it to work. Also it is not waterproof or attractive. Review: I have the worse motion sickness of anyone I have ever met. This watch is the only product that I have used that has worked. I wore it on my India trip on a boat, countless hours of riding on curvy roads and even rafting. It never let me down.

Have no Doubt this band works I suffer from major inner ear problems by Jo from Iowa
Pros: No more drugs to travel Review: I bought a relief band in February of 2005. We travel quiet often and always i would have to drug myself up in order to travel to the point that I was almost overdosing. We had traveled in January and when i got home i knew after being sick for two weeks trying to get over the effects of the drugs, I had to do something different. I purchased one of the Relief Bands and tried it on a trip in February of the same year. I am one of those people, no matter what I do, it can cause my head to go off, and I become very dizzy for a week at a time, before I can get back to normal, with the Relief band I can't began to tell you how thrilled I am to finally find a way to travel and do things with out getting sick and without drugging up to go. We travel to England several times and even with the long flight, I have no problems, it the flight gets a bit rough, I just punch it up to a higher level, I can sit in the back of a bus and get a long. I have even gone so far as when I am around home and have done something to set my head off where i get dizzy, I put the band on and go lay down and take a nap with it on. It actually makes me feel so much better when I wake up, and for me that is unreal, I am telling you, you can not go wrong by getting one of these and trying it, you will be glad you did, I know I am and I will never travel anywhere without it with me, something so simple, only wish I had invented them. Try it!!

Not in all Conditions by Deborah from Hammond NY USA
Pros: Easy to use Cons: Not effective (for me) in all conditions Review: I used this product on an overseas plane flight and felt better upon arrival than I ever had. We proceeded to a cruise to Antartica where the open sea passage is reputedly very rough. Under these conditions, the band did not work for me and I had to revert to medication.I hate the side-effects of the medications so was really hoping for better results. I admit, however, that I put it to an extreme test!
Friday, February 13, 2009
The best $129 I've EVER spent. by Darlene from Jacksonville, FL
Pros: It just works...exactly like they say it does. Review: I have chronic problems with motion sickness on airplanes, in the back seat of a car and on a boat. The side effects of over the counter and even prescription motion sickness medication were almost as bad as the nausea. I literally couldn't function for a full day after taking Bonine and the Transdermscop patch was worse. This product is easy to use and worked exactly as described. What a lifesaver!

Now I can even read while traveling in a car! It is a miracle... by MS Marcy from Wallingford, CT
Pros: Works well and with ease. Cons: My wrist did get burns and blisters from all the shocks initially, but worth it. Review: I love to scuba, but it hurt to get sick on the boat and "feed the fish before each dive". Then I heard about the relief band, purchased one, and began to wear it. It worked every time. (I do remember hoping the fish had another reliable food source.) After a few years the relief band disappeared. Amazingly, I found out I could go out on any boat or ride as passenger in any car without getting sick. A true miracle since I had been sick in cars and on boats for my entire life. I even discovered I could read in the car and not get sick!

Think again by A Customer from Topeka KS USA
Pros: I didn't get seasick Cons: Expensive, more annoying than the patch & can't prove it worked Review: I recommend the transderm patch over the relief band. I crossed the Drake and most people were using the patch. And it worked. I was the only one that I was aware of that even brought a relief band. The patch is proven to work for most. Why spend the extra money on the relief band unless you have tried the patch and it didn't work for you.

So far, so good. by Robin from Cabot AR USA

by A Customer from Rancho Santa Fe CA USA
Pros: It worked fantastically for me when adjusted properly. Cons: Be patient as it can be difficult to adjust properly on wrist. Review: Worked amazingly well (almost like a "light switch") when adjusted properly on my wrist. Motion sickness symptoms disappeared completely and did not re-appear so long as the WristBand continued to function. Placement of ReliefBand was extremely sensitive to its position on my wrist. I had to hold it on my wrist and move it around very carefully until I felt the stimulation. I then had to hold it in place while I tightened the band. This is easier said then done. Also, even when adjusted in this manner, the ReliefBand's operation was extremely sensitive to the position of my arm and/or hand. Finally, after extended use (several days straight) the ReliefBand caused irritation on my wrist in the spot where the stiumulation was taking place.

It actually works!!! by Nancy Taylor from Bonita Springs FL USA
Pros: IT WORKED!!! Cons: I forgot to use the gel one day and got a small sore on my wrist Review: I have suffered from Vertigo for a number of years and have declined all cruise trips my family was going on. This past December I agreed to go on a 14 day cruise through the Panama Canal with my 92 year old mother and was sure I would be sick for at least half of the trip. A friend suggested the relief band and I bought it....IT WORKED...I WAS NEVER SICK ON THE TRIP...while others were. THank you for such a great product....I only wished I had heard of it earlier.

It works but not for nausia caused by migranes by James from Kansas City MO USA
Pros: Works, and easy to use. Cons: Slightly difficult to put on and get tight enough to find the right spot for the contact point. I had to help her everytime to put it on as she had problems getting it on and tight enough. Review: I bought this for my pregnant wife as she was nausious and throwing up every day all day. She is plagued with a history of migranes which can progress to nausia and throwing up. While pregnant she has had a migrane every third day. The watch worked if the nausia was from the prenancy but when the nausia was from a migrane it didn't work. This is a good product as it does work as it was intended however due to the nature of migranes it can't help for nausia caused from migranes which is not the watche's fault. My wife likes the watch and wants to keep it to use for her pregnacy and future pregnacy. It was funny to watch as the pulses would cause her middle two fingers to curl. She is petite so she kept the pulses low 3 or below.

An Absolute God Send by The Hat Lady of Charleston from Charleston SC USA
Pros: It delivers everything it promises. Cons: None Review: This product is an absolute God send to anyone prone to motion sickness. I have worn it under the most trying situations (e.g. the winding roads of China; the turbulence on an airplane I thought would crash), and it worked. It has even enabled me to be part of a Dragon Boat Team. I could not recommend a product more highly.

Unbelievable - it really works!! by Sue Parker from Salinas CA USA
Pros: Total relief from nausea. I count on that band and don't even attempt to fly without. Cons: None Review: I have had motion sickness since I was little, 5 years old. I have never been able to go to the amusement park without nausea, I have worked in commercial fishing and known that my destiny was to get sick multiple times but because I enjoyed what I did, I suffered through the sickness. I wanted to learn to fly but after hitting some turbulence, my old friend, nausea, returned. In desperation I had heard about the ReliefBand from someone who purchased it for his spouse when she was pregnant, I immediately ordered it and had it next day aired to me. I now have a life with motion; not motion sickness!!!!!

Works Great by Michael from Calhoun GA USA
Pros: Works great Cons: needs constant adjusting with even moderate activity Review: Takes only a few minutes to get used to and become confident that it works. Occasionally needs to be adjusted but you quickly become used to it. In fact, when it does stop working, you notice it quickly and adjust it.

25 Years Too Late for This Former Flight Instructor by Larry from Mobile AL USA
Pros: Easy to use; put it on and forget it; easy to position on wrist Cons: Not waterproof which is not good for a fisherman Review: Because of inner ear problems I had to be very careful with some of my training maneuvers many years ago when I was an active flight instructor. The ReliefBand Explorer does eliminate the motion sickness now when I go fishing on rough seas so I believe it would have solved, or greatly reduced my motion sickness problems when I was a flight instructor - too bad it was not available then because I did enjoy flight instruction. The band is easy to use and I never went higher than a #3 setting. Since I was fishing and my wrist was flexing a lot, the position of the band had a tendency to shift a little. I probably could have tightened the band a little and this would have reduced that problem, but it did not seem to reduce its effectiveness. I could just feel the difference in the amount of stimulus, but as I said, it did not seem to reduce its benefits.

Absolutely works! by A Customer from Westminster CO USA
Pros: Batteries last a long time and are easily available (about $4 each) wherever watch batteries are sold. Cons: Wrist band a bit bulky and looks like a man's sport watch. Review: This wrist band totally worked for seasickness, even when other people were getting seasick! The highest level I have used is level 3, but it goes up to level 5. I used it for a weeklong cruise as well as a small-boat whale-watching excursion (very choppy seas) and felt fine the whole time. It also works for air-sickness as well. I loaned it to my sister and it worked great for her as well. My sister-in-law and several people in her family have used it as well - all with success! I am so glad I can cruise without any fear of seasickness! I did experience some skin irritation when I used the gel, and had to switch wrists, but it was a minor inconvenience. A fully-stretch band would be nice, as would a less "outdoorsy" look since I wore it to dress-up dinners on the cruise. But as long as it works that is what really matters. Over a 1-week period (I did not use it only when I was sleeping at night) I only changed the batteries once (not becuase it said I needed to, but just to be sure for the excursion). The little closure on the battery compartment is a bit tricky to make sure it is fully closed. It will pop open if you don't close it entirely.

It works. Other wrist bands did not. by Donald from Mendocino CA USA
Pros: I repeat, it works better than other devices. Cons: None of significance. Review: We live in a small town with 68 miles of very winding mountain roads in and out. A beautiful but over two hour drive. My wife is very suseptable to motion sickness and the ReliefBand is the best help she has found.

Works great!! by A Customer from Ellicott City MD USA
Review: I used this on my first cruise and was very pleasantly surprised. I have always suffered from motion sickness and this really helped. Also, I was very pleased with the delivery process -- I had it in 2 days of ordering it. Thanks so much.

I Absolutely Recommend This Product! by Lucy from Aspen CO USA
Pros: It works! Not bulky and easy to drop in your purse or pocket. Cons: I think it's ugly. The zapping takes a bit getting used to. Review: A friend first lent me this product when I was visiting her in Maui, HI to drive a few hours along a very windy road. I get motion sick at a drop of a hat and was thrilled that I was able to enjoy the ride and take in the scenery with a minimal of discomfort. I only kept the setting at 3 and probably could have gotten completely rid of any dizziness at a higher setting. She also lent it to me for a trip to Africa and I suffered no motion sickness on the small bush planes I took nor on the extremely bumpy roads. I have since purchased one for myself and one for my sister.

Post-operative nausea? Not with this! by Cathy, Medical Technologist from Grand Rapids, MI
Pros: It works!! It works!! It works!! Cons: I can't think of anything. It works!! Review: I have an awful time with post-op nausea & vomiting. When I had my Achilles tendon re-attached, I warned them about my reaction to anesthesia. The nurses recommended this and I thought it was 'hokey.' But I was willing to try anything. IT WORKED! Recovery is bad enough without puking all the time. This device is terrific. Now, we're living in another part of the country and I'm facing shoulder surgery. My doctor's never heard of this. I dug up mine from 3 years ago - and it still works! I used it two nights ago with nausea from a migraine. New batteries should assure me an easier recovery and perhaps a new device for this doctor to offer. I can't thank you enough!

I highly recommend this for anyone who has motion sickness! by Tina from Ripley WV USA
Pros: Takes away the motion sickness! Cons: Isn't very fashionable :) Review: The bracelet has helped my motion sickness in vehicles, airplanes, etc. so that I can travel without feeling terrible! It has the different adjustments so that you can find the pulse that is right for you.

Best none-drug option for motion sickness by Jeff from New Richmond WI USA
Pros: A small package that provides wonderful control of motion sickness Cons: Continued use over many hours temporarily numbed my ring and middle finger nerves. You need to take breaks over extended uses like on a cruise ship. Review: The Reliefband Explorer works very well in controlling motion sickness distress. The choice of electrical signal intensities allows you to use the level that makes you feel better without over doing electrical stimulation of the middle and ring finger nerves. The relief is immediate when turned on. No need to feel droggy with motion sickness drugs(been there, done that). The batteries are longed lived for the unit. I used the used the reliefband for a 17 day cruise on the Black, Norwegian, and Berentz seas at least a quarter of the time and never had to change the batteries. I'm sure it would work well in a flight cockpit or passenger cabin as well. I whole heartly recommend this product.

This is NOT a gimmick! by Nancy from Stow MA USA
Pros: Immediate relief Cons: It's not "pretty" Review: This Relief Band was bought as a gift. I borrowed one from a friend years ago, because I didn't believe it could work I wasn't going to spend the money. I was able to go on a 2 hour helicopter flight in Hawaii and ENJOY the entire ride. (My husband, who is a pilot, was feeling sick after the first hour.) I've tried everything else on the market for motion sickness. This REALLY works!

Definitely works, a little high-maintenance by Barclay from Clifton NJ USA
Pros: Works as described, with attention to use Cons: Hard to set in correct place on wrist, requires attention while using Review: I was unable to take the bus to work due to motion sickness, and with this product I have no motion sickness and can now take the bus. It definitely works and I do recommend it. My only caveat, and the reason I say 4 stars instead of 5, is that it is sometimes hard to get the thing positioned exactly over the correct nerve, and I have to hold my wrist bent backwards to get enough of an effect from the device. So it's not exactly "set it and forget it," but it works well enough that it's solved my transit problems.

It REALLY works! by Christian, Student Pilot from Chicago, IL
Pros: It really does work. It took away all nausa and all motion discomforct. Battery lasts 150 + hours. Comfortable. Cons: None Review: I am not joking when I say I NEVER get motion sickness. In a car, a jumbo jet, a boat, anything; it has never happened. About two months ago I started my pilot training in a Cessna 172 and to my dissappointment I had pretty bad motion discomfort. I never threw-up, but was pretty close. This discouraged me terribly, I didn't want to continue my training even though I wanted to be a pilot. I found this product and was pretty skeptical about the results that it said it could give me. Since I already had invested a lot of money into flying, I decided to purchase this product. To my amazement, the first time I used it it worked perfectly. It didn't feel sick at ALL. I didn't even think about feeling sick, it never entered my mind. I don't use it as much now because my body has gotten used to being in a small plane, but will always carry it with me for new passangers. This product does what it says, it takes away ALL nausea and all other symptoms of motion discomfort. If it wasn't for this product I probably would not have continued my pilot training. Seriously consider this product, 120 dollars is not a small amount of money, but is worth it, in my opinion, if it allows you to do things that you normally wouldn't be able to do because of motion sickness.

Amazing little device by Connie from Allen TX USA
Review: I was really skeptical, but given my level of motion sickness and the fact that my doctor REALLY did not want me to use the patch I gave The Relief Band a try. On a 7 day cruise I only had to take one Dramamine and that was coming out of Grand Cayman on a night when there were a lot of green people onboard the Carnival Conquest. The Relief Band is very effective and I will use it next year in Alaska. It would be nice if it was smaller, it overwhelms my wrist. However, I did talk to a lot people who had never heard of such a thing. I told all of them to Google Releif Band. Thank you for giving a very enjoyable cruise.

I would buy it for everyone if I could! by A Customer from Marathon, FL Keys
Pros: It works! Cons: Made my wrist itch, but not bad enough not to use it. Review: I had signed up and paid for a fishing Tournament - and the day of the wind picked up, we were going about 15 miles out. Sky then water, sky then water - all you could see. I had the relief band set on 2, got nervous and moved it to 3. Never felt a twinge of seasickness, and I almost always feel sick when it's windy. Two men with us did get sick. And! We won part of the tournament!

Immediate Relief by Jackie from Pensacola FL USA
Pros: Fast acting Cons: No carrying case Review: My charter boat captain put his ReliefBand on my arm while I was getting sick over the side of the boat and it worked immediately. I felt great and continued my fishing trip with no problems. I got home and ordered one for myself.
Monday, June 30, 2008
I would buy this product again by Mark from Galt CA USA
Pros: fast acting and very effective Cons: may cause rashes at the contact site Review: I purchased the product for my wife. She was having severe morning sickness during her pregnancy. Within two hours of wearing the relief band her nausea was gone. The only down side of the product was after about three weeks of use (not constant) she developed a rash at the site of the contacts. The device was moved to the other wrist.

It's worth every penny!! by Debbie from Newbury Park, CA
Pros: IT WORKS! Cons: Its not pretty. Review: I always get seasick and many times car sick & queasy on amusement rides. This is the BEST gift my husband bought me. We went to Kauai to get certified in scuba and the final dives were boat dives (I sometimes "forget" I get seasick on a boats). I wore the relief band (which I hadnt used yet)on the dive boat and it was AMAZING! People all around me were feeling sick while waiting on the rocking boat to dive BUT I was perfectly FINE!! It has worked on car rides as well. It will give you your life back and the pulsating is not that bothersome to me, I got use to it and didnt even notice it after awhile.
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
by Kathleen from Richmond TX USA
Pros: High hopes! Cons: None yet Review: I am rating this 5 stars as I have very high hopes for this product. I am going on a short Carnival Cruse in October, so have not actually tried it yet. I tend to get seasick even in the bathtub, so the reason for my high hopes. Will only be on the ship for 4 days this time out as If this works, I will be able to go again for a longer trip. Will tell you that my grandaughter used this product following a surgery for nausea and it worked for her! I do thank you in advance for offering this product!

I tell everyone who suffers from motion sickness that this is the cure by JILL from GARDENA CA USA
Pros: No side effects Review: I have used this product for the past 5 years. It works for planes, trains, buses, subways and cars. I highly recommend it to anyone who suffers from motion sickness. I have traveled with others who were wearing the patch or on the over the counter medications and was the only one of the group who did not get sick.
Tuesday, June 03, 2008
by Ronald from Hilo HI USA
Pros: No waiting for it to take effect. Cons: none that we know of Review: This works the best for motion sickness and nausea of any kind. There is no wait and while a lot of remedies do not work once the nausea starts, this will instantly take it way. My whole family likes it and uses it on car trips, boat trips and of course in airplanes.

It Works!!! by Lucy from Aspen CO USA
Pros: Nothing to swallow. Easy to transport. Use over and over again. No drowsiness. Cons: Not attractive looking. Zapping takes awhile to get used to. It isn't water resisant - wish I could use it while kayaking and such. Review: It's the only thing that ameliorates my motion sickness in a highly efffective manner without causing drowsiness. I recommend it to everyone. I just wish it came in a more attractive style... Also, it would be perfect if it would be waterproof...

Love this product. This is my second. I loaned one out and the borrower liked it so much she kept it. by Lola from Fresno CA USA
Pros: Convenient. Portable. Works Cons: Need carrying case for this. First one I purchased had nice zippered carrying case, Price is significantly more, than the first one I purchased, and didn't have a carrying case Review: This is effective for me, even if I haver already developed nausea. Have used it on cruise with 40 foot swells. It was fabulous. Also use it in busses, and auto rides in the mountains. Best thing, is there is no "hang over" when the aparatus is not longer required--as with ingested or topical products.

Works great by Jim from Greer SC USA
Review: Would have rated it higher except the shock is annoying. Better than motion sickness to me but could see where others might not think it is worth the pain.
Thursday, April 24, 2008
by Maria Mackie from Davie, Florida
Pros: The Reliefband is lightweight, totally adjustable and it WORKS! Cons: I cannot think of one negative regarding this product and hope to never be without it! Review: The Reliefband is the most effective product I have ever used for motion sickeness! It was first introduced to me by an anesthesia doctor about 5 years ago. He used one for sea sickness and prescribed for me to use directly after having had surgery as the anesthesia sometimes can cause lingering nausea in some patients. Since then I have used one EVERY TIME I fly and it has prevented vomiting and nausea each and every time. I used to get nausea just visiting the airport due to breathing the heavy exhause fumes in the area. Not anymore! In fact about three weeks ago I was experiencing intermittal nausea while at home and couldn't understand why. After the first day and after trying over the counter meds I decided to try the reliefband and within 20 minutes the nausea was gone. I removed the band and 1 hour later nausea was back. I again used the reliefband and the nausea disappeared. The next day, I was completely fine. I thoroughly believe in the product and am sorry I didn't have knowledge of it while on chemotherapy 6 years ago! I would recommend it to anyone with stomach discomfort and whats more, it doesn't produce any side effects! Thank you for carrying the product and making it so easy to purchase!

Bye, bye Dramamine by Michele from Pompano Beach FL USA
Pros: IT WORKS - NO QUEASINESS Cons: NEED TO GET USED TO THE LITTLE ZAPS - MASCULINE LOOKING Review: The older I get the more I suffer from motion sickness - driving on winding roads, in a pool too long, funky ways of filming movies or even poorly made home videos all make me queasy. I was going on a flyfishing trip (on a boat, drifting - makes me ill to think of it) and did not want to ruin it for me or anyone else. Ordered the ReliefBand; it came in very quickly, was just as portrayed. I wore it under my jacket as I didn't want anyone to know - it gives you a nice little buzz on the wrist every few seconds - but you do forget about it after a while; it was amazing; I never even thought of getting queasy. IT WORKS!!! After coming in and taking it off, later that evening, in the shower I did feel a little rocking motion as if I was still on the boat - but no nausea. I have recommended to my son who gets queasy at sea - EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!

Worked for me. by Stanley from Hillsboro MO USA
Pros: drug free resolution of nausea Cons: mild shicking sensation Review: This has been used by myself before while flying and found to work for me. The recent purchase was for my wife for a cruise. She did not need the device, but while in 15 foot seas it functioned fine for me. The only drawback is accepting the mild shocking sensation. I found that even if the nausea has begun that this product will reverse the effect.

I liked it so much I am buying this product for my husband by A Customer from Tucson AZ USA
Review: High expectations and they met them all. Easy to use, instructions clear - good to go in 15 minutes! Easy to discern level of stimulations, easy to apply, with good "guidelines" for personal settings. Lightweight, easily stored, can wait to assess the situation as to when to turn it on, unlike OTC medication Much better than pharmaceutical alternatives for motion sickness. Would like better battery life, but carrying extras not a big thing.

Review: The battary cover is not good, I tape it to avoid loss the battery

Good product by Carolyn from NJ
Pros: Works without drowsiness of drugs, easy to use Cons: not as strong as dramamine, annoying zapping feeling Review: I have suffered from motion sickness all my life---in cars, boats, planes, etc. I bought this in desperation for a trip overseas and it really helped. I tried the Scopolomine patch and it gave me horrible side effects after 2 days. The seaband did nothing. The ReliefBand has the annoying electrical "zapping" sensation, but it beats the alternative. great for short trips, etc. but if you think you will be on a turbulent plane or boat, back up with some Dramamine, as well. BTW, KY jelly works just as well as the conducting fluid.

I'm in love ! by A Customer from Coal City, WV
Pros: It works Cons: none Review: I have been plagued with motion sickness since I had my children. Living in WV, I am forced to travel curvy, winding roads. This product is WONDERFUL. I look forward to feeling the "buzz"--I know it's working. Great Product!

WOW by Sue - Maui Dive Shop employee from Kihei, Hawaii
Pros: No more motionsicknesss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cons: Some people don't care for the "shock" feel Review: I have not used the new band yet but have owned two of the older models for quite a few years. I never enjoyed going on boats or in car rides because I felt so miserable. The first time I wore one, was on a boat. I left the boat smiling, leaving everyone wondering why. I now dive off boats at least three times a week. I bring along my extra one to give to people that get sick on the boat. Everyone is always amazed at how their sickness goes away immediately. I have not found one person yet that it has not helped. Definitely worth the money!

by A Customer from Spokane WA
Review: This is the third ReliefBand I have purchased. One for me, one for my sister and, now, one for my daughter. We have all suffered with motion sickness for all our lives. This device works amazingly well. Recent improvements have made it much easier to use. It really works!
