justacruisin Posted June 28, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Has anyone used the Relief Bands for sea sickness or the ones you can buy over the counter at a pharmacy? Do they work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richtersl Posted June 29, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Yes, the Relief Bands work VERY well! They are probably the BEST motion sickness preventative on the market. They were originally available by prescription only for chemotherapy patients. But they are available over the counter now. You should be able to find them at CVS Drug Stores or order them on line. I will never, EVER travel without mine again. :D Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anytimeuwnt Posted June 29, 2004 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2004 My wife uses them also. SHE LOVES THEM!!!! They don't seem to work for her on smaller boats (catamarans :rolleyes: ) but the big boats are no problem for her. She has now decided to buy this $70 sea band that send electrical shocks into her wrist. :confused: But it gets even better reviews than the bands. :D Thank God for Sea Bands!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistachio42 Posted July 4, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2004 My wife loves her sea bands as well. She bought gray ones and loved that she didn't get queasy or sea sick for the first time. On the next cruise after that one, she even bought black ones to go with her black gown for formal night .. <shaking my head> .. she was a happy camper .. then so was I.

Desertbelle Posted July 4, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I have used Sea Bands, the non-electric ones, on several occasions and they work very well for me. Certainly worth the $8 to try, especially since you can use them with no concerns about sleepiness or using alcohol with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilary Posted July 15, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hate to be the pitcher of cold water, but the sea bands don't work at all for me. I don't like the pills, so I went for the patch, which works perfectly for me. Unfortunately, the sea bands don't work for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty1625 Posted July 18, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I also tried the bands on our first cruise...they did not work for me at all!! I ended up using Bonine on that cruise and it worked great, plan on using Bonine on our next cruise (9/25/04). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett456 Posted July 20, 2004 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I needed both the Bonine and the sea bands on a cruise from NY to bermuda. We had some serious waves going on. I was just 'ok' so I guess they worked as well as they were going to. Many many people were not doing well. The poor crew had a lot of cleaning up to do.

jonesmen Posted July 26, 2004 #9 Share Posted July 26, 2004 My son (12) has used them on our last two cruises. We've never had to give him dramamine or bonine; they've worked great. On our last cruise, we rocked and rolled quite a bit, and he was still o.k.! Bobbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisemate Posted July 26, 2004 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Yes the sea bands are great and work really well, drug free and no side effects! I got mine in the ships stores on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWog Posted July 27, 2004 #11 Share Posted July 27, 2004 My wife swears by them and says they work really well. Always travels with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
