Fact: Everybody feels
queasy on the water at some point. To quote PMY editor-in-chief
Richard Thiel, “There are only two kinds of boaters; those who have
been seasick and those who will be.” While some of us find ourselves
praying to the Porcelain God more often than others, the FDA-approved
ReliefBand should help everyone enjoy a nausea-free cruise, without drowsiness
or drug-like side effects or interference from enjoying food and drink.
The device features
five user-controlled power levels, an adjustable cloth band, a replaceable
coin-cell battery (included), a low-battery indicator, and an on/off button.
It relieves motion sickness using a “gentle, noninvasive stimulation
on the underside of the wrist.”
The company’s
claim held true when I tested the device on a recent fishing trip in Florida,
once I began to feel queasy. Although the device’s stimulation made
my hand tingle even on the lowest setting, within minutes of strapping
it to my wrist I felt fine, giving the ReliefBand an edge over medications
that must be taken before you leave the dock.
The ReliefBand is available
through a number of marine retailers and from the company’s Web
site and costs from $70 to $90.
