Bug Bam Insect Repellent Bracelet 2-Pack

Item #: 21212


A great alternative for kids (and parents!) who balk at bug sprays and lotions. Our all-natural "bug bracelet" masks the human scent insects crave, so bugs dismiss us as boring plants. And it's not just DEET-free, it's made from non-toxic, food grade ingredients! Pleasantly scented, with citronella, geranium, and lemongrass oil. Insect repellent band is reusable up to 100 hours; stay-fresh storage bag included. Adjusts to fit both kids and adults. A OneStepAhead Exclusive! Colors may vary.

    Comments about One Step Ahead Bug Bam Insect Repellent Bracelet 2-pack:

    I bought these for a weekend trip to the lake and they were great! We put one on my 2 year old son. The first day we put it on his wrist, but he kept playing with it so the next day we put it on his ankle. He didn't get a single bite the entire weekend! An adult friend of ours was getting tons of bug bites so we gave him the other one and after he put it on, not another bite! I wish I would have bought more! The odor from the bands is a little strong, but I only noticed it when we first opened the package, once the band is outside it's not noticable.

            Broke easily. Unpleasant scent. Ineffective at repelling bugs, esp mosquitos. They arrived in black, not blue as ordered. Then I saw the same exact product at [@] a week after ordering. They were priced 2 bands for [$]. I paid [$] for 2, on sale. I am a medical professional as well as the mom of a very active toddler boy. He was bitten to pieces :( We had to switch back to our normal spray repellent.

                  I was really excited to try these. We have not had much luck with bug bands in the past. But I thought I'd try these just to see. Sadly they didnt work for us. I think we will stick to bug spray.

                    helped ease mind anyway, swampy mosquito zone and we didn't have him out in it much, but this seemed to help, we put it around his ankle so he could suck on it.

                          The bracelets were easy to attach but even easier to knock them off your wrist or ankle. They smelled very strong when first opened and I even kept them in ziplock bags when not in use. They repelled nothing and the smell wore off completely after a few weeks

                              I wore 1 on each ankle and 1 on each wrist and still managed to get bit by the mosquitos. Although not as bad as my kids whose arms were to small to wear the bracelets. I suppose that if you are basically covered and put a few on you would be protected; however in the heat and humidity in shorts and tank tops you would have to wear a lot of them. Especially since 1 bites they all come after you.

                                    It seems we had to have a band on every appendage for it to work as well as a spray or wipe. For me, getting the bracelet on was about as inconvenient as applying regular bugspray, so no miracle-cure here. These are now part of my regular arsenal - no better and no worse than the deet and no-deet, spray or wipe, products I use now.

                                            We went on a family vacation to the mountains of Wyoming where the mosquitos will pick you up and carry you away! My son is 9 months and my daughter 2.5 years. I don't like putting bug spray on them but didn't want them to be chew toys for mosquitos. These bracelets worked great! Each only had a couple of bites by the end of the trip. They worked like a charm and the fact that they are all natural was a strong bonus! I put them on their ankles and they were good to go! They are a little big for little tiny wrists but poking a hole will do the trick.

                                                    These bug Bracelet are the perfect solution for repelling bugs. I use them all the time for both kids and even myself. It is so much easier than spraying bug spray all of the place. They really work well.

                                                            we were looking for some kind of repelled mosquitoes products since my 3 1/2 months daughter can't use spray and i found this. Tried this out during our 3 days camp... glad that it worked well. My daughter didn't get any bites at all!!! including me while I was carrying her.
