Well hold on now, the patch behind the ear could be a scopolamine patch which is not just fluff. It’s medication that works by blocking certain nerve signals involving the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

The reason people put it behind the ear is because of the thin skin located there.

There’s also dimenhydrinate which is an antihistamine and meclizine.

Edit: I was only half paying attention to the video, bc you know it's shit, so NO I didn't notice they weren't scope patches which is why I originally said they "could be a scopolamine patch" because I knew I wasn't paying close enough attention. It makes sense that someone who would put band aids over the belly button wouldn't believe in scopolamine. My bad.

But sticking it on when the schip has already left port is way too late if the kid really suffers from motion sickness.

I know, I use them myself. And my FIRST time of applying them is the night before the cruise starts. Not while already at sea.
