Wrist Bands!

Ok, so does anyone besides me get car sick? I get car sick whenever I am not the driver. For years I have struggled with this and therefore I drive almost everywhere I go. I've tried the Dramamine and ginger and various other products with varying results. But, who wants to take pills every time you need to ride in a car down to Wal-Mart?

A few years ago, my mom introduced me to these wristbands that she uses for long car rides when she wants to read. They are just small elastic type bands that you wear around your wrists. Each band has a small plastic bubble that presses a pressure point on the inside of your wrist. They are wonderful! I wear them anytime I get in a car, on a bus, on a train or anything. I can even read when I have these on and I don't ever get sick.

I'm including a link to the manufacturer's website because they have saved my life. I will tell you that the only places I have ever found these are at Walgreens though. All Walgreens seem to carry these though. I've bought sets in TN and even a set in CA on a recent vacation.

I will have to try that. As many of my friends know I get car sick if I am not driving also. As a matter of fact I seem to get sick with the same 3 people anytime we go somewhere.... hmmmm.... maybe it's the company instead of the car. Just Kidding! I will have to try these. Thanks girl!
