Active Era Mosquito 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+

Bought theses a couple of times great at keeping insects away as am alergic to bites

I've purchased these bands before. So easy to use. Many colours. They work so well. You don't have to wear them, you can put them on handles, windowsills, or anywhere really. Love that the they are all different colours too.

Good product

I originally purchased Pitch and Trek mosquito Repellent Bracelets that lasted me for a few years - principally worn during gardening and holidays occasions but sadly i think they are no longer available...So i got these Active Era Mosquito Bracelets - the smell is good and strongish for the first few days of use but does diminish after that (it does say the bracelets last for 10 days from initial opening). I'm not sure the smell would be effective after the first few days. I recollect that the description says each bracelet is individually wrapped - that's not true - they are all loose in the one bag. So I'm not sure whether they all only last for 10 days once you open the bag or if its 10 days of actually wearing them.If you are buying these for your family and you are banking on each person wearing one set each over 10 days, think again - you'll probably need to wear wrist and ankle bracelets - so that's 4 per person and personally I'd replace these every few days rather than after 10 days. So IMHO its worth buying a couple of packs for a family going on holiday.So far I've worn one set of 4 bracelets on my ankles and wrists, but the smell faded and now I'm onto my second set of wearing 4 bracelets and after the first evening wearing these, one snapped when I went to take it off after its first use! They are stretchy albeit they do loose their shape especially if worn on the ankles and seem after this to be prone to possibly breaking.In the meantime I shall carry on researching what else is out there and see if I can find anything similar to the original Pitch and Trek ones I used to wear.

The bands did the job we required them forNice smell when take them out the package

I purchased these in advance of going to America on holiday. I thought they would be useful as we are travelling around and I wanted to avoid any bug bites. As each wristband lasts upto 250 hours and I am away for a long time with family, I decided to test them out in advance.I have worn a single bracelet on several outings over the past few days. Once to a lake on a very hot day. I opened a fresh bracelet and put it on. I also gave one to my sister and mother who were with me. It did not stop the flies and mosquitos from flying around us and biting us still. Also, my sister is allergic to lemon and made her wrist itch and she had to remove it after a short period of time.I then decided to give the wristband another go when we went to the coast 2 days later. The band was on my right wrist. I have a bite on my index finger on my right hand and on both middle fingers. I also have 1 bite that is now big and red on my right leg and 3 big red bites on my left leg.All in all, I am extreamly disappointed in the use of this bracelet. They look good for children and can be used in different places, but what good are they if they don't even protect the limb that they are on??

Quick delivery time from time of order

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.
