Reliefband Classic Anti-Nausea Wristband | FDA Cleared Nausea & Vomiting Relief for Anxiety, Migraine, Motion Sickness (Car, Air, Train, Sea) Hangover & Morning Sickness | Drug Free (1 Extra Gel Tube)

The Reliefband has been a lifesaver for me and allows me to fly in comfort. Plane landings used to be agony for me but I actually enjoy them now since I don't have to put all my effort into trying not to throw up.I've been using the product for years and just replaced one that I had purchased 15 years ago. Not too long after that purchase, the product was discontinued and when it was re-introduced, finding one with a replaceable battery was impossible. I'm grateful the one I had has lasted as long as it did. On my last trip I noticed that even at Level 5 the pulse was weak but it still was enough to get me through a bumpy landing. So, it was time to purchase a new one and I am pleased that I was able to find one with a replaceable battery here on Amazon.What I love about Reliefband is that I don't have to take a drug that's going to make me drowsy and those didn't work well for me anyway, since the cabin crew wants you to try to be awake and alert during landings. I can also turn it on/off as needed during a flight. The nausea relief is instant! I witnessed that first hand when I saw my sister dealing with post-surgery nausea. She had my band on and while it was working to a degree, nausea broke through, and she ran to the bathroom to go throw up. I grabbed her hand as she was kneeling at the toilet and cranked the band up to Level 5. She then stood up and looked at me in total amazement because the nausea was gone. Yeah, it was that fast. There were no other incidents for her after that.One thing I've learned from my own experience with this band is that once it's seated properly and the pulse/vibration is working I needed to be careful not to jostle the band or move my hand too much lest I lose that sweet spot. But that's a small price to pay for nausea relief. I did notice that the vibration plates on the back of the newer band are larger than the ones on my old one. So maybe that will allow for more movement.I'd also like to give a shout out to the company itself. I was supposed to receive an extra tube of conductivity gel with my order and that extra tube was missing. When I contacted the company about my order I received a reply from them within a few hours that stated they would send that extra tube out right away. It came within two days. So, I am a very satisfied customer.

Worked great for an European trip in May of 2023 (when I purchased it), but would not work one year later for another trip. Replaced batteries, used gel, all the the things to get it to work but it was dead.

My daughter has horrible bouts of nausea from her IBS which at times can be very difficult to control. I did some research and found this product and we thought she should give it a try. She came home one evening with very bad nausea and I reminder her I had bought it. She went in and put it on and after a short while she told me that the nausea had completely subsided. She now keeps it in her purse for such emergencies and it has given her back her freedom to manage her life. She cannot control getting nauseas, but she has now a solid option for settling it down. We bought the least expensive version which isn't exactly fashionable (which matters in her industry) but it is effective. When this one eventually wears out, I am sure she will go for the newer, sleeker looking model, even though it is significantly more expensive. She said at first that the little "shocks" to her wrist were weird, thought not uncomfortable, but they are a godsend for managing the nausea. Effectively she went from staying in bed all day because of how awful she felt to now being able to sit for a few minutes with the device and then spend an entire day on her feet working in a salon. Definitely a solid investment.

I bought it in preparation for a trip to Germany where there would be a lot of travel by road and rail, both of which can make me very motion sick. I did the same trip last year so I could compare any difference. Good news: It works! The long trip by car from Hannover Airport to Goettingen (a couple of hours) that made me sick as a dog last year went by fine with minimal discomfort. So too bus and tram trips that were very unpleasant last year went by smoothly this year. But it doesn't work perfectly well. Long multi-hour car trips still make me car sick (but not train/tram trips). Main negative points are: the watch strap is very difficult to put on because the device has to be on the inside of your wrist, so you have to buckle the device while keeping the electrodes on wrist. Plus you have to smear a conductant on your wrist so the whole putting on the Reliefband routine isn't all that quick or easy. Bottom line: It works and is worth the inconvenience of putting it on.

This product has opened the world to me! I use on airplanes & large ships, which I never thought I could experience comfortably. I was always the kid nauseated in the back seat. Still an issue! I have purchased 3 over a number of years. Although I have loved the product over many years, the battery compartment is not well engineered, in my opinion.. The battery fell out of my newest Relief band on an airplane, which never happened before. (I lost the rubber device that keeps the battery in place & the battery on the plane!) I would have panicked, but I always take a spare, so used my back up Relief Band & had a comfortable flight. I called the company & a new battery retention device was sent quickly. I am having trouble with my older Relief Bands with the battery retention rubber device. I will contact the company for those & I am sure they will send me new ones.
