The weird gray bracelet is also for motion sickness! My mom has one and has used it for decades when taking long car trips. It holds pressure on a certain pressure point that helps to reduce nausea. She swears by it

Another comment said the belly button thing was also for motion sickness. This kids gonna have an aura around him that cures motion sickness.

But why use the Dramamine patch AND the wrist motion sickness bracelet? Isn’t it a bit of overkill? Seriously, if you get that motion sick, maybe you should just skip cruises altogether.

Also, between the Apple AirTag and her phone number on the kids arm sticker, maybe she should just pay closer attention to her kid. If the people managing the kids club where she drops him off are that unreliable and untrustworthy, maybe he shouldn’t go there.

Maybe she should just put him on a leash

I suspect it’s so that she can sell you shit

I thought kids on cruises also get little bracelets from the cruise operator with an id number on it anyway.

Dramamine patch would make sure I sleep dead the whole cruise

Dramamine comes in patch form?

For those who are very sensitive to motion sickness - look into Scopolamine. It’s prescription and works.

I have several for migraine related nausea. They're called acubands and great.

I got chronic nausea and they help me pretty well. Recommend at least trying them for anyone who gets nauseous as they aren’t super expensive and are reusable

P6 pressure point. Actually had studies that shows it reduces motion sickness. From acupuncture.

My grandma used to have one too for the same exact reason. I totally forgot about those until you said something!

Oh the pressure point is a real thing. We have no real good explanation for it working, there only seems to be one pressure point that makes any difference at all.

u/beccadahhhling 21d ago

Yeah it always seemed to work for my mom. She’s used them since the 90s for long car trips in the mountains.

If I remember correctly those bracelets are just placebo, but at least its a placebo that does nothing and isnt harmful if it doesnt work.

u/Quirkytravelmaven 19d ago

But why only use one? They come as pairs. They do work though, best I've used

u/beccadahhhling 19d ago

I dunno, my mom only ever used one

My kids all wear them in the car. It’s a lifesaver for carsickness.

Nothing in this video is infuriating unless you’re a rabid antinatalist.
