Psi Bands (pronounced “Sigh Bands”) are drug-free wrist bands for the relief of nausea due to morning sickness (pregnancy), motion sickness/travel, chemotherapy, and anesthesia. Psi Bands fit wrists measuring 5 ¼ inches up to 8 ¼ inches in diameter. Wear two at a time – 1 on each wrist (2 come per package). Scientific studies support the use of wrist acupressure in the relief of nausea due to the above conditions. Breathe a “Psi” of relief!

I have suffered from motion sickness for a long time and I hate taking pills b/c they make you sleepy. I discovered seabands (another brand) and was thrilled to find that they worked. When I saw these I was happy b/c I liked the idea that they were plastic and wouldn’t get wet (when I was on a boat) were adjustable (in case your hands/wrists swelled) and slightly fasionable.well they do work so TRY them if you suffer at all from morning sickness, motion sickness, even altitude sickness. However these bands in PARTICULAR do not provide your wrists with much mobility which I did not like. So I might suggest other other bands that have elastic cloth in them. They may be ugly but you won’t suffer. Trust me it is worth a try.

I am not pregnant, but I have always had motion sickness. I wore these on a recent road trip and felt great. Forgot to put them on for the drive back and felt terrible. Works well! -

I purchased this product because I was going on a cruise and suffer from extreme motion sickness AND I was in my third month of pregnancy dealing with morning sickness (all day). I was very concerned that our trip would be ruined by my doubly bad set of circumstances but these bands saved the day! They kept me feeling great all 5 days of the cruise. I continued to wear them after I got home for the pregnancy related sickness and they continued to be very effective. I would highly recommend these to anyone – very easy to use and completely drug free! -

I have been SUFFERING through morning sickness for over a month now, and hoped these would help. They are a great idea. They can be adjusted not only by the wrist size, but you can also twist a dial which pushes the “button” closer to your pressure point. I thought I would like these more than the sea bands due to the fact that they can get wet and are adjustable. However, for me the plastic was uncomfortable and hurt. These are worth a try, but I would try both these and the Seabands and go with the one that works the best for you. I have found the SeaBands to work better for myself, but these are a better quality and are much more durable and customizable. - Comment Feed for this Post

As far as the relief offered, it does definitely seem to provide some relief. I know that is going to vary from person to person, so I’m not making my primary judgement based on that. It’s comfortable enough (although you will want to give the pressure point a break after a while) and can be worn for extended periods of time without having to remove them thanks to the plastic design (most other comparable products seem to be made of cloth of some kind).
My main problem with the PsiBands is that they are very flimsy. After one day the adjustment dial began to come away from wristband. It’s basically just a piece of plastic held in by a groove. The problem is that when you go to adjust it, sometimes it will come out of the groove. Not only does that seem cheap, but I’m pretty sure it minimizes the effectiveness of the bands since the “activator” (the part that applies pressure to the Nei Kuan pressure point) is now angled. After another day it came off completely. There’s a small piece of plastic inside that basically adjusts the extension of the “activator” and it fell out completely. Fortunately it’s easy enough to put back together, but it was a bit disappointing, to say the least.
As far as functionality, it seems to do what it’s supposed to do, though not as dramatically as I had hoped in this case. That said, any relief is welcome, so my real disappointment was with the build quality of the wristbands. I’m not going to be pleased with any purchase that starts falling apart after a day or two.
