Customer Reviews of Bug Off! Adult Biting Insect Repelling Wrist Band
Customer Review: Wristband efficacy POOR
Summary: 1 Stars
I considered buying this product due to the warning about DEET, but then I did some research and found that DEET is not as toxic as it is made out to be. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, Wristbands were the worst possible way to prevent mosquito bites. Avergage time to bite was less than 1 minute. OFF Deep Woods protected for an average of 300 minutes, or 5 hours. I reccomend that you take your healt more seriously, use a DEET based spray and just remember to wash it off when you are through.Customer Review: I really wanted to love this product. I ...

I really wanted to love this product. I hate spraying myself with insect repellent, so a simple bracelet was a great solution. I really wanted to love the Bug Off! Wrist Band, but I didn't. I wore it outside for several evening walks and bugs didn't bother me, so it may be quite effective. But the very strong citronella odor was very annoying. If you don't mind walking around smelling like a citronella candle, then this might be for you. I think I'll wait until they come out with the odorless version.Customer Review: This is a product I feel good about ...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a product I feel good about using. Instead of using a chemical like DEET (known to have side effects), this product uses essential oils. (It's always great when a company takes the initiative to make a product friendly to both humans and the environment!) Furthermore, as an avid gardener, I had numerous opportunities to experiment with this product,. It worked like a wonder. I strongly endorse this wristband for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. A truly fine product.Customer Review: Worst product ever! (Still even a year later)
Summary: 1 Stars
I left a review September of 2007. I tried the new bands they came out with yesterday, June 2008.
I was still attacked by skeeters even though I put on on each wrist and one ankle. The one leg that didn't have one on was the only part of my body NOT attacked.
So a year later, they STILL don't work. (This is in Northern Michigan where, believe it or not, the skeeters aren't as bad as in other places closer to woodsy or swampy areas.)

Summary: 4 Stars
I think this product actually worked! So many insect repellent products make claims that aren't true. This one lives up to its claims. The mosquitoes are terrible here and I had no problem with them as long as I was wearing this bracelet. The odor is a little strong at first, like a citronella candle, and the bracelet is a little chunky. But overall, considering it kept the bugs away, I'd say it's a great product and I'll buy others for my family.
