Active EraMosquito Repellent Bracelet [12 Pack], Insect, Midge & Mosquito Bands - Powerful DEET Free Formula - Waterproof with 250 Hours / 10 Days of Protection for Adults and Kids 3+

Excellent. Does what it says. Had no mosquitoes bites . Highly recommended Have bought further packets.My friends have bought them.Love the different colours, you can match them with what you wear.

I was a bit sceptical about these having read some.of the reviews, however the bands I usually buy seem to have shrunk and I find them uncomfortable to wear so I thought I'd give these a go. When you first take them out of the packet the smell is quite strong but it's not unpleasant so that's no problem, they are comfortable to wear and the colours are nice too.I generally get eaten alive quite regularly and have occasionally had reactions to bites resulting in antibiotic treatment so having an effective repellent is important to me. I've never got on with sprays because you always miss a bit so have always bought bands. I was extremely impressed that in the 10 days that I wore the first band, I didn't get a single bite. I wore it pretty much 24/7, only taking off when I showered as I have very long hair and it got tangled into the band when I washed my hair.The only downside I noticed was that over the 10 days the band stretched, so by day / night 7 it was quite loose and I woke up finding it had come off in the night which is why I've given 4 stars not 5. Having said that the effectiveness of the band can't be faulted and I've now put my 2nd band on and hope for similar results!At roughly £1 a band which lasts for 250 hours and can be taken off and resealed in the packet I think these are a great value for money and plan to purchase more so that I can have constant protection and avoid costly bite remedies and itching!

I have been using these for over a year they are really good and they work,I also put one on my ankle and that seems to do the trick,used in Jamaica,Lanzarote,Greece and not been bitten I also spray my legs with mosquito repellent just as a cautionary measure in areas where there are quite a lot

They are ok. I didn’t get bitten but then I rarely do anyway. The one major downside is that they stretch after a day or so and are easily lost in a pool. I will go back to the leather look tie in bands next time.

Excellent deterrent . Stayed bite free for two werks

Would like to say these were marginally effective but they weren’t at all, in fact those that wore them got bitten to bits (literally over 15 bites in the space of 3 days with constant wear) and those that didn’t wear them didn’t get bitten at all.I had two on my body and still got bitten everywhere that was exposed.I think if you’re in an area with high mosquito activity and you’re prone to bites (I’m not actually but someone in our party is, I still got bitten the most) then spray is a better bet. These did nothing and were a complete waste of our money.

I never have time to write reviews but totally needed to make time for this. I am ALWAYS ALWAYS the one to get a mosquito bite on ANY holiday. Greece, Maldives..... so I was bringing my 3 children for a holiday to Spain this year. Aged 7, 5 & 3. I did purchase some jungle formula DEET kids version as well as MAXIUM strength for me. I also bought room diffusers. I know!!! Case was weighed down with mosquito repellents more than clothes LOL.... I had researched organic repellents but spoke to our GP before going who said not a lot of substantive research to say that those products work. we were going away for 7 nights & I bought 2 packs of 10 bands and there were 6 of us.I didn't need to use room diffusers and didn't need to use DEET on myself or the children. The little one ate hers when she had it on so I put her hair in a ponytail and tied it up with that. My 5 yr old wore hers round her neck (too cool for school) I had every intention of wearing 2 on each wrist & ankles lol.... but actually only wore one. The 1st night I put Deet on everyone but 2nd night went out with just bands. Totally delighted no one got bite. I didn't reuse them I actually just put used ones round the buggy or maybe on an ankle. I opened a new one for everyone each night except my husband..... who, from experience, knows they are too busy feeding off me to bother him.The hotel had a playpark so we were always out around dusk or early evening and went for a walk to the beach after dinner. We also ate al fresco most nights.If you are prone to getting bites you understand how miserable they are I always got huge red swollen bites and the itch drove me crazy for a minimum of 7 days even with pirition.However as I had never been to Spain I did do some research that said they had mosquitos but there may not have been anywhere we were.The bands are lovely colors and smell lovely not at all offensive or overpowering. The girls didn't mind wearing them at all. They aren't too tight.I would hate to suggest not taking other precautions and someone have a truly miserable time getting bite but I loved this product and loved that it was totally organic.

These smell really strong so I put them around my ankle instead of my wrist. The scent lasts about 5days if you wear them 24hrs a day. So far so good… so hopefully that means they’re working!
