Description:
This citronella-based wristband offers portable insect protection for outdoor activities, combining natural essential oils and a waterproof design for casual use at the beach, campsite or in the garden. It aims to reduce nuisance from mosquitos and midges while remaining DEET free and easy to wear for adults and children aged three and above.
Key Points
The bracelet uses a blend of citronella, lemongrass, peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils to repel insects, with a fresh citrus scent that is less likely to irritate sensitive skin. It comes in a pack of 12 with a contemporary PU brushed leather finish in a clear, black and white palette that works as a discreet accessory as well as a repellent band. The adjustable strap reaches up to 29 cm in length so it can be worn on the wrist or ankle, offering flexibility for different users and activities. 🏕️
Each band is sealed in a resealable pack to preserve the active fragrance for later use, and the manufacturer states that a single bracelet provides up to 250 hours, which is around 10 days, of protection from the moment it is first worn. The bands are described as waterproof, though prolonged exposure to water may reduce longevity, so consider avoiding extended immersion while swimming. 🦟
A clear point to note is that the product is formulated without DEET, which some people prefer to avoid because of potential skin irritation. The bands are suitable for children aged three and older, according to the manufacturer, but always observe any individual sensitivities when first using a fragranced product. 🏖️

Usage Recommendations
Apply the band by selecting the desired size and securing it comfortably on the wrist or ankle, taking care not to overtighten. For longer storage life, keep unused bands sealed in their pack and away from direct sunlight or heat. The scent will gradually dissipate with use, and once the repellent properties diminish the strap remains wearable as a simple accessory.
Consider that effectiveness can vary with environmental conditions and individual responses to insect activity, so the bands may work better in some situations than others. If someone has known sensitivity to essential oils, test a small area of skin first or consult a health professional before regular use.
