The BuggyBands 21-pack is constructed from a medical-grade ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) polymer. This material is chosen for its exceptional elasticity—capable of 500% elongation—making it nearly child-proof against snapping. The EVA matrix is naturally porous, allowing it to act as a passive release vessel for the essential oil blend of Geraniol, Citronella, and Lemongrass. This material is also hypoallergenic, carrying a low health risk rating for most users.
Specifications indicate that while the band is functional after being submerged in water, its longevity is best preserved when kept dry. The release rate of the repellent is entirely dependent on ambient temperature and airflow; in high-heat environments, the scent will be more intense but may deplete faster. To maximize the 21-pack's utility, the individually sealed foil pouches are essential for preventing the degradation of the oils before they are used.
"Because the scent shield is localized to a small radius around the band, it is most effective when used as a supplemental tool for backyard play or light gardening."
For a more comprehensive kit that includes both bands and adhesive patches for clothing, the 18+60 value pack offers more application points.
