4 out of 5 stars The Real Results for All Day Pregnancy Neusea   August 22, 2008

SHORT REVIEW
Buy it!!!
It's worth the cost of the 3 coffees' you can no longer drink anyway.

Works well but not perfect. Ends the majority of your nausea, however you may have lingering queasiness, nothing nearly as debilitating as you would experience without them on.
It allows for you to go on with your day-to-day activities without having your head permanently in a bucket.




LONG REVIEW

O.K. So here is my experience with these bands. First of all, this is my second pregnancy and the thought of going through what I went through with my first was depressing to say the least. I happen to be one of those wonderful people whom vomited her entire 9 months I was desperate to try anything in order not to repeat that scenario, so at the onset of nausea 5 weeks with baby number 2 I read every site related to controlling my nausea. I saw that these bands in one form or another were recommended, so of course I ran out the next day to buy some I purchased these over the other bands because they were a bit more fashionable. Anyway I had to adjust the bands several times until I got it just right to where I guess it is actually on my pressure point correctly, finally after an all day constant adjustment period it works. It takes about 2 hours to kick in for me but its worth it. Now while it ended most of my nausea to where it is now tolerable, I still have a bit a of queasiness but it is really worth the money trust me, with out this I would be unable to leave my bed and bucket, with this I can at least keep up with my 2 year old. WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS WITH BABY #1 ( sorry had to vent, I am a foodie and hate not being able to eat)

The 2nd thing don't think that if you have a severe nausea problem like myself that you will be able to eat whatever, NOT just eat ONLY what does not make you nauseous onsite, This baby has turned me into a temporary vegetarian versus baby #1 and a steak eating carnivore.

Bottom line it is worth giving a shot and having a little of your life back, if it doesn't work at least you didn't break the bank. (Yes I was scheduling an acupuncture appointment, before purchasing these, but may hold off and save the money for the baby now.) And I will try the preggie pops as one reader suggested and let you know how they work



By the way I am a motion sickness girl also and these seemed to continue to work when in the car.

Ciao



2 out of 5 stars Not Much Help   August 16, 2008
I purchased these psi bands for a recent cruise, knowing how easily I get seasick. I have no complaints about the company or the delivery, but the bands were, for the most part, ineffective in preventing or relieving my nausea. They did, however, leave nice red marks on my skin that took over a week to fade. I hope other people have better luck with these than I did. I think I'll stick with Bonine.


5 out of 5 stars Great for motion sickness   July 17, 2008

I ordered these in Cherry Blossom color and used them on our 18 day transatlantic cruise. The psi bands worked great for moderate seasickness. They are a nice size and waterproof - won't get soggy like the sea bands. I got a lot of compliments on the design and people asking where I got them. I gifted my pair to a pregnant friend who's having a lot of morning sickness, and they've been helping her quite a bit, too. A great product!


5 out of 5 stars We think it works or at least helps a lot!   July 16, 2008
I have now bought 2 of these. My young son and I have some motion sickness - not severe but awful enough to make us miserable. These really do seem to help with mild-moderate turbulence; we survive without medication. With severe air turbulence, it isn't enough for us and we do resort to medication. These work just as well for us as sea bands. Pros of this is that you can wash your hands while wearing it and there's no elastic to wear out. Cons compared to sea band is cost and bulkiness in my purse.
