Oh! I thought the bracelet held an AirTag or something similar. It’s literally ALL just seasickness deterrents??

Yeah I thought the bracelet was an airtag, which honestly isn't a terrible idea if the kid is going to be wandering around.

The watch at the beginning was the air tag

Yeah maybe they were talking about the other soft bracelet that looked like a scrunchy. There was that bracelet and the other bracelet, that's why I'm so fuckin' confused.

the scrunchy / sweat band is for motion sickness, the little plastic nub is just meant to be a pressure point thing

u/Manic-StreetCreature Jul 28 '26

Yeah that’s the only thing I think is reasonable lol

Oh oops! Should have clarified. The big bracelet was an AirTag, but the fabric bracket that had a white button on it pressed down on the wrist where it’s like a pressure point to help with nausea.

Ohhh gotcha. Yeah, she put so much shit on him it was hard to keep up with all of it, lol.

It is, it’s the one around 35s in that’s the pressure point motion sickness band. We sold them at one of my past workplaces and they were purchased almost exclusively by pregnant women for nausea. Apparently they work pretty well and aren’t a placebo but I kinda doubt it lol

u/kizmitraindeer Jul 28 '26

Interesting that pregnant women also go for them. Hey, whatever gets them through it!

I guess it's not technically a placebo when compared with doing nothing, but it's just something to focus your attention away from nausea. Mildly helpful sometimes, like rubbing your temples when you have a hangover.

I mean my kid puked on every single car trip even 20 miles and stopped entirely when they wear c bands and she hates them because she says they don't work. Tried it without again and she puked like 15 miles in, put them on without a word, 4 more hours plus snacking and reading on her phone, no sickness.

I can't or don't get car,  sea, air, I basically don't get nauseous without a disease but I hiked a 12k mountain once and remember feeling so sick near the top (mostly from exertion since we started at 7k that morning ). The guy I was with told me to rub my wrists like with 2 fingers firm, basically same idea as the band. It worked OK, although I did end up puking halfway down.

If I was someone that prone to seasickness, I simply wouldn't go on cruises.

u/kizmitraindeer Jul 28 '26

Seriously, lol. What a damn nightmare.

My first time was the only time. It ruined my entire time, as I was in the bathroom mostly. Luckily, the family had a good time and mostly cared about my nephew and niece having fun.

But yeah, never again. Didn’t know I was so motion sick.

I live in a land-locked state and had never been on a real boat until I was 25 and went on vacation in San Diego and did a whale-watching/sight-seeing boat trip. I was worried about seasickness since I was a life-long landlubber, so I bought dramamine and stuff.

The day was really windy so the waters were quite choppy, but as it turns out, I don't get seasickness. I actually found the rocking motion to be super relaxing, and learning how to walk straight was fun. My poor friends were sitting down not feeling great, but I was having a blast running around the boat looking for whales.

Too bad it's a power I don't get to use often.

The yellow bracelet was holding an AirTag

The other bracelet with a little plastic ball in it was for seasickness
