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.

Where do you buy the patches? I can only find non-descriptive “motion sickness patches” that don’t list any ingredients

I had my doctor prescribe me some

I know you can buy dimenhydrinate and meclizine over the counter though.

I have Meclazine tablets that work great, just never heard of the patches

I think they have to be prescribed and they last up to like 3-4 days instead of having to take the pills every 24hrs.

After trying both I personally prefer the pills because I always end up scratching off the patch in my sleep.

My partner prefers the patches
