A very quick fix for altitude sickness!!
By Cathleen J Strauch, Westerville, OH in November, 2012
I packed these bands in my suit case and took them on a wine tour. We had to ascend very mountainous terrain to get to the wineries featured in the lake Tahoe area. When my symptoms started, I searched my purse and couldn't find my bands. I was sick for several days and did not enjoy my tour. Upon taking some friends back to the airport, I discovered the band had slipped our of my purse and were on the floor in the trunk. Still "not feeling well" I slipped them on and within 30 minutes, my nausea left me and I felt myself once again. I will keep them closer to me during long car trips in the near future and won't be without them again!!
Too restrictive
By Lynn D., Lansing, IL in October, 2012
I ordered these bands thinking they would be better than the soft elastic ones I always used. I was wrong. These feel very tight around my whole arm and feel restrictive on my movement of my forearm. I couldn't keep them on, so I don't know how well they would do for the motion sickness. I did use two instead of the one that was recommended because I have migraine with vertigo and was going to be traveling by air and on boats, but ended up going back to my gray elastic bands.
Bioband really works!
By Marta R., Palm Coast, FL in June, 2012
I always wear my Biobands (I have 2) when on a cruise, even on formal nights! They really works for me no matter how choppy the ocean is.

Spent 10 hours in the air and never had a worry about air sickness. Will keep this handy for future trips.

I have to admit I was very sceptical of a wristband doing what it claimed, but it worked!!! So much better than taking motion sickness meds. I'm sold!
Works Like a Charm
By Laura S., Seaside Park, NJ in August, 2011
I've always had problems with motion sickness---car, bus, train, plane, boats---and always had to utilize a medication patch to deal with it on trips. The Rx never made me feel right---dry mouth, spacey feeling.... I recently returned from a trip to Asia and utilized this band and no medication. This band worked like a charm on a rough plane flight, to a rocky boat ride and bumpy bus rides. I was able to take it all in without any ill effects. Highly recommend it.
It works!
By Naomi I., Captain Cook, HI in July, 2011
My son gets motion sickness traveling in a car, so he was concerned about going on rides at Disneyland. He used the band on various rides and said that it helped, although he had to strap it so tightly that it left a mark on his wrist. I prefer that he use something natural instead of taking motion sickness pills.
Bioband works 1st time, every time!
By Robert D., San Diego, CA in June, 2011
Bioband works 1st time, every time & I always carry it conveniently in my carry-on.
Bioband Works Well
By Cheryl G., Kansas City, MO in June, 2011
Tried Bioband on two flights and 10 days of driving through the mountains. It worked very well and is very convenient to use. The flights were pretty smooth, so I'm still curious about how it will work in turbulent conditions. Worked GREAT in the mountain driving though! I was impressed.
my wife didn't get seasick
By Art D., El Paso, TX in June, 2011
My wife gave it a good test -- she had a full breakfast, and then went out whalewatching for 3 hours on rough nordic seas, and did not even get the littlest bit queasy (and she normally is prone to motion sickness).

I purchased two of these to use for constant nausea due to gastric paresis. I will say my nausea is much better.
YES - It Really Does Work !
By Ann U., Holiday, FL in February, 2011
Just returned from my very first cruise and I had to use this little gem the first and last days at sea. When I started to feel queasy, I just pressed the Bioband at the recommended pressure point and within seconds, I was feeling myself again. Thank You Bioband and Magellan's !!! :-)
Bioband Bliss
By Barbara H., Mission Viejo, CA in November, 2010
This is my second Bioband. The only reason it did not get 5 stars was that after a couple of years the velcro was not gripping as well as it should. The black band looks neat and sleek. It is also comfortable; it goes on in the morning and doesn't come off until I go to bed. Two ten day trips on a bus looking every which way at the scenery without motion sickness was great.
Bioband review
By Jann W., High Point, NC in July, 2010
This product is great- it is the only thing that we have found to help with my daughter's car sickness. She still does better in the front seat, but the Bioband helps keep her from feeling queasy when the road is bumpy or curvy. Thanks
Seems to work
By Chris J., San Jose, CA in July, 2010
The bioband uses the principles of accupressure as a preventative for seasickness. In my case, the band seemed to work as I fared my boat ride without any issues. This made me wonder whether the calm waters rather than the bands were the remedy. However, a couple of days later, I was without the bands and on the water. Indeed, I felt the mal-de-mer coming on! So, I guess the bands work.

What a great product. Works great. Liked the idea of needing only one on either arm.
Worked like a champ
By Jessica B., CO in June, 2010
Despite rough seas, did not get seasick on my recent cruise. Much better than being drugged up on Dramamine.
Wrist Band Worked
By Maralyn H., Gilbert, AZ in June, 2010
My husband used this while we were sailing on a windjammer out of Rockland, Maine. He said it was fantastic and he experienced no motion illness.
AWESOME
By Susan M., MO in June, 2010
Went on my 5th cruise with this bioband for the 1st time and had absolutely NO sea sickness. Rough waters dropped people like flies and I was fine. Simple to use, love the adjustability since I have a tiny wrist.
bioband
By Dave S., NY in May, 2010
This product actually works. I used it on a cruise and felt better after about 10 minutes of wearing it. Best results wear it all the time when on a plane, or cruise ship.
saved the trip
By s e., CA in February, 2010
wore this for our cruise and didn't take it off until we returned to original port. wish it came in different fun colors. great for bumpy flights too.
works for us!
By Carol F., OH in February, 2010
I have always had a problem with motions sickness. After using pills on our first cruises and feeling drowsy all the time I tried Sea Bands on our Alaska cruise tour. While I had some success with them, they were too tight and and made my hands tingle. Biobands have solved my problems. I keep them on the entire cruise, even while on shore excursions where motion sickness on tours used to make me sick. I purchase 2 bands and my husband uses the other on rough days. I would not travel without
It Works !
By LoriAnn H., OH in January, 2010
I bought 3 of these for when my family went on our first cruise, and have used biobands since! That was 3 yrs ago. I make sure to put it on before I get on board just so that it can kick in prior but I have had family put it on during and they feel as if it has helped right away. These are slim on your wrist so you could wear it under a watch possibly. I even bought one for a co-worker when she said she gets car and sea sick. That is how much I believe they work, and it is easy to put on. Try it

unfortunately the bioband did not help me at all i was very disappointed
These Bands Are Great!
By Howard B., Oak Hill, VA in September, 2009
We went on an Alaska Cruise. As soon as the ship left port, we started to feel sea sick. I remembered that I had packed two Biobands. We put them on and within 3 minutes the queasiness disappeared. We used them for the rest of the cruise and had no more problems with sea sickness.
These Things Work!
By Howard B., VA in September, 2009
We used them on our last cruise. We are both prone to sea sickness and when we had the Biobands on we had no problems. If we took them off within 5 minutes we became queasy. Put them back on and within several minutes we were fine.We won't take another cruise without the Biobands!
Bioband is great
By Jack L., GA in April, 2009
My wife and I are world travelers and have been on many cruises. Sometimes I get seasick on rough seas. I have tried the pills and the patches, but the patches irritate my skin, and the pills wear off after a while. Several years ago I tried the Bioband and I have not traveled without it since. Last fall my wife felt seasick during a 65 day cruise and borrowed my Bioband and it helped her. Now we are ordering one for her. I am ordering another for myself too, as I have about worn out my first one. Many thanks
Just didn't work for me
By Marnie M., Hamilton, ON in March, 2009
Unfortunately this just didn't seem to help me at all. I've tried various placements and both wrists.
Good alternative to seasick pills...
By Jim P., Anchorage, AK in December, 2008
I wanted an alternative to seasick pills which work well for me but they make me drowsy. I used this on a recent 12 day Mediterranean cruise and it seemed to work pretty well except for a big storm on the last night. That night I had to take the pills but for fair to middlin seas, the Bioband worked for me.
