Mosquito Guard bracelets utilize a porous infusion process where essential oils are impregnated directly into the polymer matrix. This differs from surface-coated bands, as it helps the oils stay within the material longer. The food-grade thermoplastic elastomer is flexible and soft, making it a common choice for pediatric use where comfort is a priority.
The spiral coil has a relaxed diameter of 55mm, specifically optimized for smaller wrists. While the material is highly flexible, excessive stretching by adults can cause micro-tears in the polymer. The waterproof nature of the matrix means the band remains useful even if it gets wet during outdoor play or a sudden downpour.
Because the oils begin to "flash-off" or evaporate once the hermetic seal of the bag is broken, keeping the resealable outer bag fully closed is the best way to maintain the 20-pack’s longevity. Once the oils have fully dissipated, the bands can be repurposed as standard hair ties, extending their utility in a household setting.
For those who want a long-lasting, refillable system instead of a disposable coil, the Para'Kito Refill Pellets offer a different approach to long-term use.
