Why spray chemicals and DEET on your child's skin? These all-natural insect repellant wristbands mask the human scent that attracts biting insects, so bugs fly by as though we were plants. Scientifically proven to work! Pleasantly scented, with citronella, geranium, and lemongrass oil. Reusable up to 100 hours; stay-fresh storage bag included.

Award winning: winner of the iParenting Media Award

Scientifically proven to repel mosquitoes and other flying, biting insects

Mosquitoes find us by our body scent, toiletries, and the carbon dioxide we exhale. Bug Bam emits a fragrance that fools insects into perceiving us as plants, which they have no interest in.

Unlike conventional insect repellant, it doesn't penetrate the skin and contains no DEET or chemicals

100% natural, non-toxic, non-irritating, and recyclable

6"L x ½"W x 3" Diam.

The product definitely repelled mosquitoes. The wording on the arm band was cut too. ("Because mosquitoes suck") My only complaint is the clasp on the bracelet irritated my son's arm. Worth the money!!

Not for curious infants

By Mom of an active infant

from EB, NJ on 8/3/2008

Pros:

Easy To Install, Lightweight

Cons:

Poor Construction

Best Uses:

Toddlers

Describe Yourself:

Parent of Two or More Children

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Bug Bam Wristband (Set of 2):

We bought this because our doctor said we could not use bug spray yet on our 9 month old. We put it on her ankle like some of the other reviewers suggested. She keeps taking it off and putting it in her mouth. Sometimes if we are taking a walk we will attach it to her stroller where she can't reach it, but if you have a curious infant I wouldn't suggest using this product.

I really cannot tell if these work. We live next door to a wooded area and our mosquitoes are pretty bad...my son wears this and still gets bites, while my daughter does not. They smell very strong of citronella.

Great idea, it just didn't work

By disappointed mom

from Birmingham, AL on 7/15/2008

Pros:

Easy To Install, Lightweight, Strong Construction

Best Uses:

Toddlers

Describe Yourself:

Parent of Two or More Children

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Bug Bam Wristband (Set of 2):

Mosquitos tend to be attracted to my son, more than myself or my daughter. The bands did not work for him. He started with one band and was getting bitten, so I had him put on the second band around his ankle. He continued to be bitten. I had high hopes for the wrist band.

Comments:

Size is small, works OK

By Amelia's Mom

from Bow, NH on 7/11/2008

Cons:

Runs very small

Best Uses:

Toddlers

Describe Yourself:

Mom of 3 year old

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Bug Bam Wristband (Set of 2):

These wristbands seem to be VERY small. My 3 year old is of average size/weight and they barely fit on her wrist-need to put on the last spot. It is a little uncomfortable for her to wear for long, irritates her wrist. They do not fit around her ankle at all. Seems to work OK. Very few bug bites when she wears it.

works OK but expected better

By Oleg

from Plainwell, MI on 7/11/2008

Pros:

Easy To Install, Lightweight

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Bug Bam Wristband (Set of 2):

This year has been a particularly bad one for mosquitos because we've had a lot of rain. I had both of my daughters (ages 4 and 11) wear these bands and both got bitten multiple times within a short span of time. They would have gotten bit more without the bands but I don't think this product is as good as its touted to be. It's especially ineffective near the woods.

too easy to take off

By Anya

from Walpole, MA on 7/11/2008

Pros:

Lightweight

Best Uses:

Infants

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Bug Bam Wristband (Set of 2):

The bracelets are very easy to take off. My 19 month old and 3 years 9 month old will keep it on for a few minutes and than will start playing with it. So I can't really count on this product as I never know how long it will stay on. It would work for an infant, not a toddler.

Comments about Bug Bam Wristband (Set of 2):

I have been looking for something like this for a while now and im glad i found it here! my son is four and he is allergic to mosquitos AND the product deet thats in mosquito repellent. These bands are perfect!! I put one on his ankle on the 4th of July so he can watch the fire works. At the end of the night he didn't have ONE bite on him!! while a lot of the kids at the party got bit up. I also put it on my one year olds ankle and she never payed any attention to it! It smells kinda strong but its not a real bad smell. Nothing like raid or off. He also likes wearing it. Everyone tells him how cool he looks wearing it. Im ordering a couple dozen just to have them on hand. Its definitly worth the money!
