Title: Great for motion sickness and vertigo!
Review: I am super sensitive to getting motion sickness, regardless of the method of travel (unless I'm driving). I decided to try this out since OTC meds knock me out and the acupressure bands don't offer much relief. I also get really bad vertigo, sometimes set off by motion. It's any wonder I haven't turned out to be a hermit that never leaves the house. Anyway, I ordered the band and prayed it would be effective enough to justify the price. Naturally, as a female, I tend to read instruction manuals before using something, this being no exception. It said to test it on both wrists to see which one was more sensitive to the shock on the lowest setting. I find that it's effective on both equally. There are only five settings and I was curious how strong they were so I tested each setting. Let me just say that 3-5 are pretty damn strong! The highest I have ever had to use it on was a 3 so I'd have to be pretty sick to go higher than that. Most of the time, I can set it on a 1 if I know someone else is going to drive, maybe a 2 depending on where or how they are driving. If I'm already vomiting, it stays on a 3 until the nausea subsides.As far as the vertigo is concerned, if I catch the dizziness early enough, I can put it on a 1 or 2 and be ok while it subsides, which may take some time but it will at least keep it from getting worse. If it's moderate dizziness with mild vomiting, I'll switch it to a 3. However, if a 3 doesn't touch it, then my husband is usually already loading me into the car for a trip to the ER. Sucks but it is what it is.Be aware that you need to use the gel with it. If you try to use it without the gel, you're probably going to burn yourself. If you are going to wear it for a lengthy period of time (long travel, maybe), you'll want to put a generous amount of gel and then reapply as needed. You'll know when to reapply because the metal plates will start to feel hot against the skin when they shock. Also, be sure to wipe it clean after using so that any residual gel doesn't dry and build up on the electrodes. I keep my band and tube of gel in a snack bar shaped Tupperware container and keep it in my purse at all times. I'm sure any container would be sufficient, but something hard would be more ideal to keep the tube from getting punctured and leaking gel everywhere. Life is busy and chaotic enough without having to clean up clear gel and having to explain what it's from.I highly recommend this product for nausea. I would imagine it would work with morning sickness too. If I get pregnant and have a chance to test it out on that, I'll update my review to include the info.

Title: This really works!
Review: I usually don’t write reviews, but I’m here to tell you that this product really does work! I have severe motion sickness and have had it since I was a child. I feel the older I get, the worse it gets! I’m also a nurse. I have used every prescription anti nausea medicine there is. ( prescribed by my doctor). When I saw this Relief band was skeptical. So I asked an anesthesiologist that’s specializes in the nerves of the body , if this could possibly work. He explained to me that there actually is a trick that they use for postoperative patients, to apply pressure to the same nerve at the wrist to stop the patient from being nauseated due to anesthesia. So, I gave it a try!I used this band as directed for a 6 hour trip last weekend with NO vomiting or nausea AT ALL! And had the same results for the 6 hour drive home!Now, the band does emit a pulsating sensation through your hand to your fingers that my family did not like, saying it feels like a shock. I would not describe it as a shocking sensation. So if you feel that you would not be comfortable with this sensation, this might not be the product for you. To me, it’s worth it!!

Title: The Scam of the Century
Review: It does not work. I'm out $160.00. It's non returnable, because you put the gel on your skin and the band touches your wrist. So, it's considered unsanitary as a return. They will make a fortune, because no one ever gets their money back. Buyer Beware.

Title: Saved my vacation!
Review: This thing saved my entire cruise vacation. The water was rough, but with this on, I didn’t have trouble with sea sickness at all. It takes a minute to get used to wearing, but it is a trip saver! Worth every cent.

Title: Helped me for vertigo so far!!
Review: I have suffered from sporadic bouts of vertigo (BPP and tinnitus) and general motion sickness all of my life. I cannot read in a moving car or ride in the back seat without being near a window. I rarely boat or even swim due to getting vertigo and dizzy enough to where I physically get sick and when that happens I’m down for hours with nausea and vomiting. For years I have used medications and been to several ENT and gastro doctors and neurologist they advised to use medications or just don’t do anything that triggers it. I had been aware of a similar device (might have been the same thing) but it was way to expensive at the time for just a few occasions.I had been doing well for several years and recently had been having several really episodes. I was looking for something to help me and one day and stumbled upon the Relief Band. I was very skeptical; I have tried to use the pressure point Sea Bands with little to no effect no matter how tight I had them. After reviewing the Relief Band online and in more that just one place, I decided to buy one even though I was skeptical, I had to see if it would work for me. I took a chance. I ordered the item from Amazon with Prime shipping and it was delivered in two days.I immediately opened it up and did a quick overall read of the tiny instruction manual that was included. It really didn’t bother me that it was tiny, I just needed to know how to turn it on, where to place it and how to turn it off. Simple enough it strapped on like a watch. The feel was strange to me, mainly because I do not where anything on my wrists.Even though I wasn’t feeling bad I applied some gel and placed the device according to the directions (between the two tendons under the wrist) and hit the on button. The little led began to flash, I didn’t feel anything, so I hit the button again and the led lit the #2 and I began to feel a light tingling. I hit the button again and whoa! I really began to feel it!! It didn’t hurt but was very uncomfortable at first.Fast forward three days, I woke up in the middle of the night dizzy with nausea. I had this on my nightstand for this very occasion. I quickly applied the gel and strapped it on and went straight to #3 on the dial. I laid in bed as still as possible with the Relief Band pulsing and to my surprise after about 20-30 mins I began to feel better, not great but better. After about an hour I was able to get up and move around. Now this did not “cure” my symptoms completely no matter how high I cranked it, but made the symptoms MUCH more tolerable. Normally it would take hours before I could get up and move around.I have not tried it in a transportation setting, but when I do use this item for that I will update this review.TL:DR it appears to be a viable option for those who do not like using medication, while it did not completely cure or make everything 100% better it did make a notable difference for the better.Pros:- Appears to work as described; helped me within about 20 minutes of a vertigo episode.- No medication; I hate medication of any kind and with medication once you feel sick it's too late- Adjustable strap.- Adjustable power levels.- Replaceable batteries.Cons:- Pricey, but if it works for you this is a no brainer, must buy.- The "Shock" is somewhat uncomfortable, it's similar to those Electrotherapy devices at chiropractic and rehab/massage places.- The strap is somewhat uncomfortable, needs a much wider and softer band to improve comfort and to help it stay in place.- You pretty much have to leave your arm still or in one place to get the full effect, too much movement causes the relief band to not make contact. properly and you have to constantly readjust.I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it for those that have similar issues.In my opinion, improvement on the band would greatly help with the issues of wearability comfort and placement. When I need it to work I do not care what it looks like.

Review: Ich setze das Band gegen meine Reiseübelkeit ein. Normalerweise kann ich ohne Reisetabletten nicht fliegen oder im Auto hinten sitzen. Mit dem Band auf Stufe 2-3 ist das möglich. Die höheren Stufen brauche ich nicht, da zucken dann auch langsam die Finger... Die Batterie ist erstaunlich langlebig. Ich weiß nicht, wie es funktioniert, aber es funktioniert. Meine Tochter hat es auch ausprobiert, auch bei Ihr hat es geholfen.

Review: I’ve been miserable the last few days. Early in the first trimester. Constant 24/7 morning sickness…. this just arrived from Amazon and I’ve had it on for about an hour - was on a level one (as it feels so weird and slightly painful at first) and then ramped up to a level two. It has already taken the edge off. Plan to ramp it up to higher levels once I get used to it. I use a similar device for migraines thus, I’m fairly used to the sensation. Been able to drink some water without feeling like I want to hurl. I think it won’t eliminate the nausea but it will help to take the edge off. Worth a try!

Review: Oh my goodness what an amazing product!!! My husband and I went fishing to the Queen Charlotte Islands and for 3 of the 4 days we had very poor weather. To my good fortune this band plus gravol made the trip pleasant and me be able to participate. If I didn't have this band, I suspect it would have been a very unpleasant vacation. Wonderful product. Easy to use.
