Reliefband – People Keep Talking About Us!

We stopped by Amazon.com recently to read the reviews. It’s something we do fairly often. Feedback is critical to our plans for the future. What do you love about Reliefband? What additions would you like to see down the road? It all factors into the decision-making process. We thought you’d like to see what verified purchasers of Reliefband are saying, and we hope you chime in with your thoughts in the comments! It actually works! For the first time ever, I went on a boat trip without issues. It was tricky at first to locate the “sweet spot” on my right wrist, but now I can position the Reliefband correctly within seconds. This is a game changer for travel and excursions! — N/A It worked for me as a passenger in the back of a van on windy mountain roads with a nut job driver. — Marcus D. Lifesaver! Great for motion sickness prevention! — Amazon Customer It works! I used the Reliefband for the first time on a recent trip. I used it on the airplane and as a car passenger. I had no problems with motion sickness. I am so happy to have found something that works without taking a pill that makes you drowsy! — Cheryl F. So far we love the Reliefband for Motionsickness. I bought it for my son prior to going on a trip and he wore it in the car and never had any problems with getting car sick. We also took a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon and he wore it for that adventure and didn’t feel sick at all that time either. It definitely gives you a little electric impulse that you can feel. I didn’t realize at first how strong it was until he showed me. So we keep it dialed down to one for him all the time since he is only 9 years old. I am hoping to try it out as well since I have always had issues with motion sickness since I was a child. I just can’t bring myself to take it from him to try it yet. — mmufgator I am happy I found this product. I was at first very skeptical if this product would actually work. But for me it works 100 percent. I had tried several different motion sickness medications before, which unfortunately can have strong side effects. I used the reliefband on a small boat in the ocean, in a helicopter and during an 8 hour plane flight. I have not experienced any motion sickness during that time. The only thing to mention: I needed a bit of time and experience to find the perfect spot on my wrist. But I am really happy I found this product. — qwerty Reliefband works! I’ve been using Reliefband for over ten years to treat chronic nausea brought about or exacerbated by a stroke many years ago. Whenever a random bout of nausea occurs, which is usually a couple of time a month, I put on the Reliefband and set it on “2”. Within 30 minutes or so I’m feeling improvement – sometimes total relief and sometimes a great improvement, which is more than welcome. I see there are a few negative reviews here, but my experience has been all positive. — David M. Prevented sea-sickness, and easy to use. I used this on a recent Alaska cruise. The ocean was rough and everybody else in my group–including those with prescription anti-motion sickness meds–became seasick. NOT ME! I’m so glad I spent the money to get this easy-to-use device before i left. — A. C. This thing works. All I know is my wife can ride in the car without getting pissed at me anymore! — Pros and Cons AMAZING. I am a captain on a sportfishing boat in California and deal with seasick people all the time. I have seen a lot of products come and go over the years, from pills to patches to drinks to chew things, but this thing amazed me. Last week we were on a yacht tuna fishing 55 miles offshore and a passenger was on the verge of puking, I mean he was really green. The owner of the boat slaps this thing on his wrist and within 20 minutes the guy says he feels fantastic. I was and am still blown away. — Damon D. It works on car sickness/motion sickness. My son gets car sick riding the bus to school then suffers until the effects wear off sometime later in the day. I bought this hoping it would help and to my surprise and astonishment, he said it worked within seconds of putting it on. He also took it with him to Boy Scout camp and helped his friend with an upset stomach. Since I don’t get motion sickness, I can’t say that it worked for me but the relief and shock on my son’s face said it was worth it. — Jimmy Definitely works. Bought this for my daughter who gets car sick on road trips. Works like a charm. — Johan C. Worth every penny. I just can’t say how much I appreciate this Reliefband! It WORKS. I have really bad motion sickness, so I got this for a trip to Disneyland. Normally I have trouble even riding a merry-go-round. But while wearing this I was able to ride Indiana Jones, Star Tours, and even Space Mountain. Normally motion simulators make me sick but I had zero problems. Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s so worth it. — Cascade book lover Thanks, everybody! We love the feedback and appreciate your time with letting us know how you feel.

The Gift Of Relief From Morning Sickness

Sharing the joy of a pregnancy brings friends and loved ones close. It’s a time to celebrate! But . . . those feelings of joy can be dimmed by morning sickness. The mom-to-be can’t help but focus on the nausea dragging her down. The vomiting that often comes with nausea piles ick on top of ick. There are things you can do to help. Stock her freezer with meals. Even if she’s unable to eat most of them, her SO and the kids in the house will love it. If they love it, she’ll love it. Get her favorite flavor of Popsicle® and maybe some bland crackers — anything that doesn’t make her groan and run for the bathroom. Run errands for her. It’s hard to muster energy to grocery shop or go to the mall when morning sickness is your constant companion. Put together a care package of travel-size toothbrushes, mouthwash, wet wipes, barf bags, bottled water, and maybe some mints for those times she’s away from home and her morning sickness is right there with her. Pick up something outrageously adorable for baby. It’ll be a reminder of the end game:) And finally, or perhaps it should be first, get mom-to-be a Reliefband to quell the nausea and vomiting. Then perhaps all this other stuff won’t be necessary, and you can all simply celebrate for nine months!

What People Are Saying About Reliefband!

We love our Reliefbands. Several of us working here have suffered from motion sickness or morning sickness, VR sickness or vertigo — you get the idea — we’re talking nausea, frequently followed by vomiting. We suffered, until we discovered Reliefband. Now, we could each tell you our story, but we thought it would be more fun to hear from people whose only connection to Reliefband is that they purchased one and used it. So, straight from Amazon reviews and our social media platforms, this is a small sampling of what people are saying about Reliefband: Ashley M: FINALLY!!!!!!!! I have tried everything under the sun to combat my motion sickness: ginger pills, ear patches, essential oils. Dramamine works but I hate the drowsy side effects. To be clear my motion sickness is about the worst out of everyone I know. Five minute car rides and elevator trips can leave me a bit dizzy. I love amusement parks and it’s been a bit depressing to have to avoid the rides for fear of throwing up (which happened last time I rode a roller coaster). I was very hesitant to spend so much money on something that I wasn’t sure would work, but I was pretty desperate at this point. To really test this out I wore this to my most recent trip to Holiday World (amusement park). The drive was a little of an hour and I felt great! Even sitting in the backseat. I was able to look around and even look at my phone. Normally I stare out the window and never look side to side, it gets old. I started slow at the park, riding the Scrambler, a ride that normally makes me a little dizzy. No problems this time! Next I rode an upside down roller coaster. AMAZING! The real test came with the Turkey Whirl. I rode this before and it had me falling over sideways when I got off. I RODE THIS THREE TIMES IN A ROW!!! I was laughing and having so much fun! I literally feel like a completely changed person thanks to this device. I’m SO SO SO happy that I purchased this. Dee FK: I love it..it really works!!! Angalena S: I rode in the back seat for 2 hours on a trip and for the first time I didn’t get car sick. This thing is so cool. Tammy WF: What a godsend for these little miracle bands. I used them during my pregnancy with twins …helped tremendously!!! 4 GM: I have had my Relief Band for over 10 years and have used it to prevent motion sickness while flying and especially on a cruise where we encountered the fringes of a hurricane and seas were rough. I wore it all night and had no hint of sickness, whereas without it just the thought of motion made me sick. Extra batteries on hand ensure you won’t be without! Now I have Meniere’s Disease and wore it recently on a really bad day when I woke up dizzy and had to keep a doctor appointment 60 miles away. I could hardly stand but shortly after remembering I had this, and putting it on, I had no recurrence the remainder of the day. It truly works! I even keep a spare on hand–never want to be without! Carolyn R: Just returned from an Alaska fishing trip. Very rough water that definitely would have had us terribly ill. We didn’t have any nausea at all. These bands were miracle workers. James H: This is a miracle device. Over the past 20 years, I have tried everything to combat motion sickness. I tried ginger capsules and candies and Sea Bands, none of which worked. I tried meclizine, which only worked for a short time. And I tried scopolamine patches, which caused blurred vision and a terrible sore throat. Then I discovered this small wrist band. It just works. It feels a little funny when it’s on. And it causes some tiny amount of irritation on my wrist. But it practically ends my motion related nausea. It makes flights bearable. I travel extensively as part of my job, and I literally do no know how I would manage without Reliefband. The prior version was well worth it, even though it didn’t have a replaceable battery. But this version, with batteries available at every pharmacy, is even better. We hope that you share your Reliefband story in the comment section. We want to hear from you!

The Things People Say

It’s no secret that we think ReliefBand is a great example of wearable tech that kicks nausea’s behind. But, we thought that maybe you’d like to hear what others are saying about ReliefBand. And it turns out, those people think we’re pretty great, too:) MedicalDaily says we’re good at stopping nausea brought on by morning and motion sickness, and that induced by virtual reality (VR): “Strapping on a headset, which puts you in a different world, can be a stomach-churning experience; not now with a wearable that fights nausea.” Tekla Perry at IEEE Spectrum has quite a bit to say about wearing ReliefBand—we recommend reading her entire post, but here’s a snippet: “It was a hairier drive to the city than usual that evening—due to road closures for Super Bowl events in San Francisco, we had to turn the navigation over to Waze, which sent us winding through narrow alleys and making frequent turns to get to our destination. To my shock, I felt fine. Absolutely fine. And my husband was feeling pretty good as well. ‘That’s the first time we’ve ever gone anywhere that you haven’t at least sighed, if not complained, when I came to a fast stop,’ he told me.” Ms. Perry also has ideas for improving ReliefBand. We love it when people who use our product take the time to share suggestions with us! A member on Mothering.com forum explained what she’d tried for morning sickness, then got to the point about her experience with ReliefBand: “Anyway, it WORKS!” That’s pretty self-explanatory! On TheiMum.com website, reviewer Alison discovered flying is a whole new ballgame with ReliefBand on your wrist: “I loved how easy it was to put on and use – it literally took five minutes after getting it on to be ready and having it in use – the first time! I flew with no nausea and frankly wished that I could have had this band during my last pregnancy. It’s easy to turn on and off which means you can use it when you need it and not when you don’t which is great especially when you are pregnant or travelling for short periods of time.” Well, we could go on. And on. But you get the idea. We want to hear from you. Praise if you feel it, or ideas for improvement if you’d like to share. We are listening!
