Customer Reviews of Original Green Insect Repellent Wristband
Customer Review: Could be very Good but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased six of these bands for our trip to Costa Rica during the start of the rainy season. I usually get many mesquito bits when I travel to beach destinations so I thought these bands would be great. I did still get bits, I'm not sure how many there would have been had I not been wearing the bad on my ankle. I did get tired of the smell, but I felt if I took it off I would be eaten alive! They could be a little larger for ankle purposes, but I guess most people wear them on their wrists. If you are not really bothered by insects I'm sure they work great, but I had to wear deat spray as well.Customer Review: Reduces annoying bugs
Summary: 3 Stars
I've worn the Bugband in my backyard in WI, and it reduced, but did not eliminate, the number of mosquitoes landing on me. I tried it one night in the National forest outside Yellowstone, but the mosquitoes were so ferocious it had little effect. I wore it on hiking trails in Glacier National Park, and it really reduced the number of annoying flies landing on me. The smell is a little overly sweet, but I didn't find it offensive. I liked not having to smear anything on my skin. Bugband made enough of a difference that I'll continue using it, and would recommend it.Customer Review: Works pretty well
Summary: 4 Stars
My girlfriend and I both gave the Bug Band Wristband a try when we went camping at Humboldt in northern California. Granted, the location wasn't swarming with mosquitoes, but the wristbands worked fairly well. After camping for five days, I left with three small bug bites and she only had one. The wristbands do give off a bit of an odor, but you get used to it. It also comes with a plastic container so its effectiveness remained fairly strong the entire week. All in all, I found it equally effective to most bug sprays.Customer Review: Love this at the barn
Summary: 5 Stars
I hate to spray myself down with fly spray when I go to the barn to ride, or work with my horse, so this is great, it works very well, especially in the buggy mountains. I wear tank tops and get bit a lot, and this kept them away in an afternoon trail ride in the wilderness. I am very sensitive to bites and this may be a life saver. Also good for my 2 year old son, who I hate to use chemicals on, but is also very sensitive to the bugs. Great for everyone!Customer Review: Bite protectiing bracelet-hopeful
Summary: 2 Stars
Like the Bite Shield, one needs to have multiple more of these on each arm, leg, feet, in order to avoid biting insects. I have strong allergies against any type of insect bites, and this bracelet was far from being sufficient help. Maybe a small nuisance to those probably very tired flying or crawling insects but not for the ones with their usual intent to bite a human being anywhere they find an opening from a fabric.
