    Albie, i have the accuband, it works by applying pressure to that particular pressure point. You can also find that pp in a pinch by going to your wrist, and finding the spot 3 finger lengths above it, Then apply firm pressure for a minute at a time on this spot. If you're starting to feel funny, sometimes working this pressure point will help you from going over the edge. I don't usually get sick on trips, but on offshore trips when the waves are 7 and 8 footers, it has helped.

    Tried accuband several times, never worked for me. I use Bonine. Taken one hour before trip.

    Bonine is a great product. I have loaned my accubands to people deep in the throes of seasickness and seen improvement within fifteen minutes. I don't know why they work but they seem to help some people.

    Dramamine does make you too tired. I tried the accuband had some success but I find that Bonine works the best.

    I saw a guy wearing one of those on the last bottom fish trip I was on. He swore they were great and had nothing but good to say about them. Thanks for the advice.
