We live in a heavily wooded area and wearing these really help cut down on the mosquito bites that we are subject to. Easy to put on and don't irritate the skin.

These work well but they are really hard to get on.

How long do they last? The documentation says, "long hours of effective protection". My wife who is a mosquito magnet says that's about 2 days. So, for 2 days they appear to be effective.As for price, the same company sells a braided leather version in a 24 pack for $2 more.

This buggy band uses plant-based ingredients to ward off mosquitos. My little one attracts them and will end up with huge welts on his body. I don’t like using anything with deet on my kids and so I found these. I really do feel like he gets fewer bug bites with this on. I place it on his ankle so he won’t mess with it and it won’t bother him. The snap is a little difficult to poke through the hole to secure it but it does stay on once you get it snapped into place. I also love the smell of these bracelets (way better than deet!). I’ve been reusing them and putting them back in the resealable sleeve that they come in. Overall, I think these are working great for us as a family.

I'm not a huge fan of bug sprays, as my kids have sensitive skin and lungs. I wanted to try something a bit closer to natural and I'm pleasantly surprised to find these work pretty well. Right now, we're having a huge mosquito problem in the Midwest. It seems I can barely get outside to check the mail without getting bitten. My daughter wore one of these while playing outside and only came in with one bite toward her ankle (versus the 10-15 that she sometimes comes in with). I imagine on really muggy days I could have her wear one on her wrist and one around her ankle to get better coverage, but I'll say this is a lot better than going without. I am not entirely sure how long it will last yet, I'll update my review if they don't last for a reasonable amount of time. Otherwise, the smell isn't unpleasant (I think it smells good!) and the band fits a wide range of sizes. Each one is individually wrapped in a resealable pouch so it's nice to be able to toss into a bag for use on the fly.

My kid has horrible reactions to mosquito bites. The welts last weeks, sometimes months. Where we live, mosquitos aren't much of a problem, but when we visit family down south, it's a different story. After he was bitten ten times over the course of a day and a half, I drove to the local big box store and bought all the things. Mosquito patches? Check. A non-Deet based spray? Check. A ridiculously priced blanket that promised to ward off all manner of insects? Check. I spent a ridiculous amount of money...only to have my kid wake up the next morning with more bites. So, despite my reservations about DEET, I dowsed my kid in it. The next morning, he only had one bite. But, given the weeklong stay, I didn't want to cover him in DEET for the rest of our stay, so I ordered these BuggyBands bracelets and hoped for the best.Six bands are probably enough for six people, but I made my kid use five out of an abundance of caution...which was likely overkill. But, I wasn't convinced one would work and since they're natural, I figured the more, the better. So, we put one on each ankle. One on each wrist. And we taped a fifth one to his necklace. (We also used a plug in that Amazon all sells). The next morning...not a single bite. You should note that these are not supposed to last longer than 720 hours (30 days). So, remember to put them back in their resealable sleeve when not in use. My only minor complaint is that they are not very easy to put on. Might have been user error, but wanted to note that in case it's more than just a "me" problem.

These worked as described to keep the mosquitoes away but if you don't like the smell of citronella, these won't work for you. They have a noticeable scent. We used them unconventionally, snapped into the sizing part of our baseball caps to keep mosquitoes away from our faces and heads. They worked great for mosquitoes, not so good for biting flies or gnats.

These bands have a citronella smell which is light and not offensive. The band itself has a clasp that takes some maneuvering to get on but once it's on it's pretty secure. I would say wear on wrists and ankles for best coverage. I like that these are natural so even if they only offer a bit of protection the fewer bites the better.
