Adverts like this keep popping up on my Instagram feed with glowing reviews. Has anyone used them? Do they work?

Never used that brand. But i have used bug repellant bracelets and they do nothing for me. I find the repellant stickers to be better. But the best is thr spray

I've used different ones, and they were pretty good, I put them on my ankles too....Still wore insect repellent but was bitten much less than normal.

Yes, but in combination with spray, I find that the work well together.

Thanks. I've got spray so I think I will stick with that.

I've used them and I think they're great - I put one on an ankle and one on a wrist overnight for me and my son.

I bought them for our trip to Mexico
They were ok but when we went into the jungle and had to wash off all spray before swimming we got bitten to buggery despite wearing 2 of these each.
I put that in a review on their SM (was a lot more diplomatic) and it was removed
They are quite pretty though

Not me, I got some for my ds when he went on cub camp. He got eaten alive. Looked like he had chicken pox despite wearing more than one bracelet. Possibly he’d have got more eaten alive without them? But don’t expect much!

yeah - useless in my case
