This 6-pack is constructed from high-elasticity, BPA-free silicone, providing a durable and waterproof option for active families. The polymer is designed to be porous enough to hold an infusion of Citronella and Lemongrass oils, which are released slowly through passive diffusion. Unlike PVC alternatives, this medical-grade silicone maintains its structural integrity even when exposed to sweat or pool chemicals like chlorine, ensuring the band won't snap during rigorous play.
The "telephone cord" spiral mold allows for a universal fit, though the material reaches its fatigue limit if stretched beyond 200% of its original size. Specifications show that the essential oil payload is most effective in the first 48 hours after the seal is broken. For home organizers, the individual packaging is a key feature, as it allows you to keep several bands in a first-aid kit or car console without the scent leaking into other items.
"The DEET-free formulation is a major comfort factor for parents of children with sensitive skin, providing a non-systemic barrier that stays on the outside of the body."
For those who need a larger supply for a long vacation, the 24-pack version of this silicone coil is available for better stock management.
