Sea-Band

When I was pregnant with my first child I suffered horrendous morning sickness, but not just in the mornings, it could be afternoon or evening, timing didn't matter. The sickness was always worse during travel and getting to work on the bus quickly became a nightmare, I could make it through half the journey but soon the nausea would approach and I'd have to get off the bus in order to cool down and get some air or to do the inevitable. There are few medicines you can safely take nowadays for travel sickness or morning sickness and despite giving ginger biscuits a try they didn't seem to have any effect so I looked into other methods of dealing with the sickness and ...  Read the complete review

Having read several favourable reviews about Sea-Bands I decided to give them a try because I was taking a long trip by coach. This isn't the ideal way to travel and suffering from travel sickness make sit a bit of a nightmare. I had previously tried pills and potions of various kinds but nothing seemed to work so I was not expecting these to do any good. I am aware that part of the problem with travel sickness is that the sufferer immediately thinks he or she will be ill, so it is more likely to happen. I tried my hardest to have a positive approach to this product. In the box you get two greyish coloured wrist bands that are very small and ...  Read the complete review

I first bought sea bands or travel bands as they are also known because I used to get travel sick on trains. I also can feel a bit off colour after a long journey in the car. Going to University in London and living in Cornwall meant a lot of four hour train journeys between the two destinations for weekends at home and holidays. I was never physically sick due to travel sickness, and granted the feeling did wear off pretty quickly after I got off the train, but it was still pretty unpleasant. I used to put up with it and just concentrate on getting home, but one Friday afternoon I had an hour or so at Paddington before my train departed, so I decided to go into Boots ...  Read the complete review

For Life on the Ocean Wave (or the back seat of the car...or the day to day toil of pregnancy...!) In their little opaque travel case, my Sea Bands look for all the world like the sweat bands that were sported by tennis stars in the mid 1980's. They are grey, fine-knit bands that sit in a slim box thats almost as big as a credit card (but not quite). And despite their appearance, they are life-savers for anyone who experiences the physical trauma of chemotherapy realated sickness, travel-sickness, pregnancy related sickness and more. I've recently been going through some quite horrendous pregnancy related sickness (or Hyperemisis, as they called it ...  Read the complete review

Sea Bands are something I became aware off five or six years ago and as a couple of family members were quite badly affected by car sickness or motion sickness as it's called. While Stugeron tablets did offer relief this seemed to be a non invasive, no drug, type of a remedy and, as such, worth a shot on the basis that they were not going to do any harm. As I remember at the time the claims for prevention of nausia extended beyond the travel sickness complaint, encompassing things like morning sickness, anaesthesia, chemotherapy and all conditions which induce nausea. The Sea-Band is a knitted elasticated wrist band, which operates by applying pressure on an ...  Read the complete review
