![]() Of course, you can also stick with an old favorite, Dramamine pills, which have been used to treat nausea and motion sickness since 1947. The patches, which have more than 7,000 5-star reviews, are $9.50 for a pack of 20. MQ Motion Sickness Patches work similarly to the bands, as you simply stick them behind your ear or under your belly button 10 minutes before travel. Simply slip them on your wrist before an activity that would typically make you nauseous. The bands are drug-free and have no side effects. These LYJEE Motion Sickness Bands are only $8 for five pairs and work by putting pressure on the nei-guan acupuncture points on each wrist via a plastic stud that works to restore balance. If you’ve already tried the glasses and they didn’t work for you or you simply need something different, Amazon has a few other gadgets also intended to help with motion sickness. If you have smaller prescription glasses, they may fit, but if you can stand to have your glasses off for a few minutes while first wearing them, that might be preferable. While some reviewers say they wore them over their glasses and they fit just fine, they slid around a bit more on me than they did without sunglasses. Because you only have to wear them for around 10 minutes, their comfort level isn’t a huge problem, but I’d take a bit of nose discomfort over dizziness and nausea any day. Although they’re made of plastic rubber-type material and have a nose guard, it did leave a bit of a mark there when I took them off. I also found them to be a bit uncomfortable on my nose. I would also assume they would not pair well with rollercoasters, as they’ll likely fly off your head, so if rollercoasters are too much for you, you’ll likely still need to avoid them or try some other methods of helping your nausea. I also did not use them on a plane, train or boat, so I can only say how they are in a car. I would guess that wearing them the entire trip, instead of just 10-14 minutes, may work better in severe cases. ![]() Symptoms typically include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and sweating. Because my motion sickness is not severe, I cannot attest to how well they will help if you have a habit of tossing your cookies every time you’re in the car. Motion sickness is a common response to travel on a moving vehicle, such as a boat, train, airplane, or car. While they definitely worked for me, there are a few things to note. While I felt a hint of dizziness once I took them off, it faded quickly and I was indeed able to look out the window without feeling nauseous. ![]() This time I did 10 minutes, taking them off and looking out the window once the time had passed. I again began looking at my book for a few minutes, then put the glasses on. Looking out the window and seeing trees pass by is not fun, so I usually just look straight ahead. I was immediately nauseous on the 45-minute drive back home, even without looking at a book or my phone. Next up was the backseat, which has always been my least favorite place in a car.
