The BugMD 10-pack utilizes a medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) spiral matrix. This material is highly elastic and resistant to environmental stressors like UV rays and saltwater, making it a reliable choice for beach trips or hiking. The bands feature a friction-fit "telephone cord" design that provides a universal fit for children and adults, though the material may stretch out slightly on very large wrists over time.
The repellent functionality comes from an infusion of Citronella, Geraniol, and Lemongrass. This DEET-free approach is non-greasy and avoids the need for messy sprays or lotions. Specifications show that the "slow-release" mechanism depends on the ambient temperature; as the temperature rises, the diffusion rate of the oils increases. The bands are waterproof, so the active oils will not wash away in the rain, though the immediate scent plume may be dampened during a downpour.
- The one-size-fits-all spiral fits comfortably on wrists, ankles, or stroller handles.
- Individual wrapping helps maintain the potency of the essential oils for future use.
- Odor profile is based on natural botanicals, providing a different experience than chemical repellents.
If you prefer a flatter profile and a material that looks more like a traditional bracelet, the PU leather bands offer a similar quantity with a different aesthetic.
