If you hate mosquitoes, like me, but also hate having to keep applying bugspray then you'll appreciate this wristband. I can't stand the idea of all those chemicals in bug sprays. This a very simple solution to keeping mosquitoes away and doesn't require as much work or constant re-applications like creams or sprays. So I was really hoping it would work!
The band comes with four refills, each one lasting you 15 days once you start to use it. If you go outside all summer you'll want to buy refills, but if you're the kind of person who doesn't spend much time outside you might find that these four refills are enough to last you for much longer than two months.
Personally while wearing this wristband I didn't have any mosquito bites. The wristband has a very faint smell, but it's much nicer than the odours you get from spray-on solutions. You can put this on yourself or give it to a partner, or better yet you can put it on your child and not have to worry about them coming home covered in bug bites in the Summer. It's a very simple solution to an irritating problem that we deal with all summer long, and it's taken a lot of stress off my mind.
I tested this wristband under conditions outside at dusk by a large body of water, and in the backyard at night with friends, and came away without any bug bites both times. I can't speak to how effective it would be under truly extreme conditions, but for everyday use I think this wristband is a great idea and was very happy with it.
