Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My advise and not the companies to get the product to work the best is the following. First one of the things I have found when using these is you need to slightly stretch them with a one time stretch first. But don’t stretch too much or they will be too big. I feel this seems to activate the product. I use one for kids and two for adults for best results. Maybe you could use one for adults but since I purchased the kids version this time I’m not taking any chances. A big favorite of mine and why I switched to the bands from the spray on protection: besides staying safe from mosquitos, and other bugs-once I take them off I don’t smell like the spray on protection. That’s a really nice part about using these bands vs using Off or other types of similar products. I always felt that the spray on products left my skin a little sticky too. You also don’t have to worry about if you miss spraying a spot on yourself or even needing it on your scalp. You are just protected from top to bottom when wearing the bands. FYI: I use the bands when I mow my grass. Doesn’t matter if the sun is setting, or if we have had a lot of rain increasing the mosquito count. Also, I usually wear them on my upper arms, and/or near my knees for best results while wearing my gardening (tall) boots. But you could wear on your ankles. I’ve never been bit once ever while wearing them. If I’ve not been wearing the bands all day, When I’m done I put them into a ziplock bag for the next time. I feel this just keeps the product working better/longer the next time. I’ve gotten many hours of use out of one band doing all the above steps. Directions read they are good for 8 hours or more. I know some reviewers have given these not the best review. But honestly if you do all that I’ve suggested, I bet you will find they work great. I’ve also given some to my neighbors, but I tell them that the stretch is the most important part. They have not told me anything negative, since I given them one. Some have even used them on weekend camping trips after having their kids test them out in the backyard. Bottomline: I honestly can’t imagine using anything else!
