Sea-Bands. Do they work?

[Trini]

I just bought us some sea-bands. I am wondering if they actually work. Anyone have any first hand experience with them?

We usually use dramamine for the flight, but it makes you so drowsy.

I know some use the ginger pills, but I am skeptical about those.

What do you think of the sea-bands?

Thanks

My sister and brother in law used them on a cruise they took to Alaska...they seemed to work for them. I have one now and will be using it for my upcoming Disney Cruise in February 07...I'll let you know....but you're probably going before I do.

I took Ginger capsules one week before our trip and had no trouble at all and I get sick even thinking about some of the rides. I purchased them at GNC.

I am very prone to motion sickness from riding in a car, and sea bands have been the only thing that worked for me, but just remember to put them on exactly as the directions instruct..........if they aren't in the right place they won't work correctly.

We've used the Sea Bands with so-so results. I was also skeptical about the ginger pills, but they worked great for us and my oldest son swears by them. He used them on a very rough crossing of the Atlantic in February when many of the ship's crew were sick, but he kept taking his ginger and was completely ok. We have also used an electronic band called the Relief Band. It works very well, but is a bit pricey.
