Saved in Alaska
2010
My son and I planned a fishing trip in Alaska, far in the bush with lots of bugs. My son especially has problems with bug bites in California. These things saved us and really kept the bugs off. On one day, we forgot to take them off and by the next day their strength had wore off and we were attacked on the river when salmon fishing. That's when we realized that these things really work. Here's a fishing tip we learned. Wear the bracelet on one of your hooks on your fishing vest near your face and the bugs will really stay away. So much nicer than having to spray yourself with all those liquids that don't really work. Thanks for the best product that REALLY works

We love to visit with our neighbors on our front porches after dinner. Unfortunately, in the summer months, it is so uncomfortable due to the bugs. Conversations are short or everyone is itching. But when we started using the mosquito bands, we could all chat --itch free!

I used these bands several times, and they worked for both mosquitoes and no-see-ums. The aroma was pleasant and the bands were long lasting. I would order these again and again.

Used at 4th of July party on a Friend's lake property. Forgot to put them on initially, so noticed a significant difference after putting them on. Kept the pesky bugs away !

My 5 yr old always comes home from her fathers with bug bites all over her arms. I bought these shield bands and told him to put it on her whenever they go outside. This is the first weekend she has come home with NO BITES in 2 years. Amazing!!! I had a cookout last night and gave all my guest one to put on and we all stayed free of bites all night!!!!! The best part is NO DEET!!!! I even put one on my dog and the bugs left her alone too!!!!! Buy it, you wont regret it!!!!!!

Since I always get bitten by Mosquitoes I decided to purchase this product. My boyfreind and I went to a pool party that lasted late into the evening. Many of the guests were bitten by mosquitoes except for us. Next time I will take extras along with me for everyone else. Great product!!!!

I've been bitten by mosquitoes for years and since I've been using the bands...not one bite. I really don't understand why they don't seem to work for some people. I do usually use two...one on my wrist and one on the opposite ankle and it is important to use them everytime you go outside even for a minute which I do all day long with my dogs and gardening. It does get tiresome to keep putting them on and off and put them back in the bag but it is well worth the trouble. In addition I spend many dusk and evening hours outside with my hubby and again...no bites. I am ordering another set today.

I have found these bands to be very effective. My whole family uses them and they are great! I tried using bug spray alone and got bitten multiple times. Next time tried the bands alone and voila! Thanks for making these!

Every evening I go jogging around the park that has a large lake, but always hated to do that because of the bad mosquitos that are ALWAYS around! Before heading out I noticed this pleasant aroma around the house and to my surprise it was the mosquito shield band I put on. At first I was a little reluctant to put it on because I THOUGHT it was a waste of money. Boy, was I proven wrong!! not only did I not have any mosquito bites but I was actually complimented by a few pretty woman because I had this pleasant mint smell around me at all times... this is DEFINATELY a keeper!!!

I decided to give GONE bug bands a try, after I felt that nothing else seemed to be working. I put 1 bug band on my wrist, before going down to the lake. I usually get bit by mosquitoes every time i go down there but surprisingly, with this item i did not! I am amazed at how well this product works.
FL
The item is AWESOME! I always get bitten countless times when i'm out doors-it never fails. I got tired of trying everything out there and I would still get bitten. I decided to give it one more try.. put one on my wrist and ankle for extra protection 10 min before i left to the birthday party and i did not have a bite on me! i was sooo amazed! no more mosquito scars to deal with!! thank you GONE YOU ROCK!
OH
Just getting hot and humid in Ohio, the mosquitoes are out in droves but stay at bay with this unique band. What a relief for the coming summer months. Husband uses it at work in the garden area. No bites. Can't go wrong with this one. THE BANDS WORK
PA
I'm glad this product works. I had enough to share with my son and a neighbor with a small child. Both said the bands repelled the bugs.
MD
I love the shield bands. I walk my dog twice a day and used to come home with 5 to 6 bites on me. Now I can enjoy my dog walks without getting bit.
MI
Bought these for a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon. Absolutely love the smell, ease of use and the repellent of bugs. Will never go back to sprays!!!
GA
we live in Ga. and have big fat mosquito's that will not leave you alone. We tried these bands and they really work.
FL
Everyone that I have given one to, loves this band. No more bites. Worth buying.
VA
These really do work. Before getting them, I would be bitten several times while walking my dog. If you follow instructions and put one on about 15 mins. before going out, it works - no mosquito bites! And I like the idea of a Deet-free natural product. Good item for those who want to be outdoors! Have given several to friends and family. These things are amazing! This is the second time I've purchased these. My son uses them for baseball and camp every day...... And they not only work on you but near you. We strap them to lawn chairs, to the table umbrella, to the hammock...everywhere we want to be bug-free. The kids keep them in their backpacks too...just in case. If you keep them sealed up when you're not outside they last all week! I LOVE these things! I hope they continue to carry these.

I received these this week and took them on a picnic in a wooded area yesterday. They worked great while everyone else was swatting at mosquitos. I ended up passing some of mine out and went to reorder today, but they were sold out. Several people asked where I got them and wanted to order them too. I am usually not a great believer in this type of item, but they really work! Please get them back in stock.
OH
I’ve tried similar products before that didn’t work but I decided to try one more time. I was amazed how well these mosquito bands work. I was actually able to chase the mosquitos. While sitting on my deck enjoying the sunset, I noticed them all around but they were staying back away from me so I got up and held my wrist out in front of me and moved toward the mosquitoes, to my amazement they flew away from me. Wow, that’s awesome. Great product, keep-um coming.

My husband and I both love these bands. They really work. We put them on and no bites!!!!!!!! Works just like they are advertised and no bad smell. Worth every penny.
MI
These bands are great. If you follow the directions and put them on 15 mins before exposure you should have not a problem. Tried to buy more but they were sold out. Please reorder. Great for everyone. Had a graduation party, Tent crew came to set up and mosquitos were horrible. My bands came in the mail about a hour later. When I cut the grass, guess what? No bites, Im going to order more.

I think the mosquito shield bands are the best. my grand daughter likes going to the park and playing outside. She dont have to worry about bugs or mosquito. When my husband is outside doing yard works he use them all the time. Keep all insects off your body. I would recommend to everyone. They are not a waste of money..... This product is the best. Worked Very Good.
FL
I went on a camping trip recently and used the mosquito band. They worked amazingly for me. Other people would get bit in our group while I was not being bothered. Next time I go I am going to bring more with me for others. When we walked into the swamp area I put two on, one on ankle and one on wrist. I had no problems with the strap it was easily removed and connected. The smell was great. I recommend them to everyone. I had good results and am pleased with the product. I HATE putting SPRAYS and CHEMICALS on my kids.....
TX
I bought this product about 2 weeks ago and it works. We have had a lot of rain recently and the mosquitos are rampant. This product smells more like peppermint and its mild. The main thing is that it really works. I put two on. One on my wrist and the other on my ankle because we are infested with mosquito's. I bought two more packages for the summer, we do a lot of outing sports. They do last a long time as long as you put it back in the bag and seal it when your finish using them. Last 120hrs. (4 days). Highly recommend.
TN
I have tried a lot of different products. This one works very well. When you open the bag you smell Peppermint, which is not bad, but strong. I pulled one out and put on wrist. Then i went to test it. I was impressed. Without the band i get bad bug bites. With the band i did not get bit. Who knows if i stayed outside for longer i may have, but i didnt get bit when i tried. I tried it the second night and same results. It is a good product. I dont think anything is 100% but this is definately a good item. I recommend this product and everyone should give them a try.

The GONE band is great and portable. I took it camping and was amazed that I didn’t get a single bite in two weeks. Everyone should try this product!

I just wanted to drop you a note to say that I have tried 1 of the Gone Bands. To my pleasant surprise it worked great, went fishing for a full day and for the first time in my 35 years. I never got one single bite, which is rare after a day on the water in Nova Scotia!!
Karen Lowe
I just wanted to say that I bought my first Gone Band today for my son. He is physically challenged and cannot swat bugs away. He enjoys being outside, but we live in the country and the bugs are nasty. So to enjoy the outdoors I usually coat him with repellent. Well hopefully, I will always be able to find your product because today we spent the afternoon in he pool and I clipped his band on his arm and he was bug bite free!!! I was totally amazed and he was very happy. It also repelled the deer flies that are so bad at this time of year. I hope your product becomes available almost anywhere so I can purchase them for the rest of my family and make sure others know about them too. Thanks for making the outdoors an enjoyable adventure for my son.

I bought them for my son who is very sensitive to DEET products and needed some sort of protection for camp this summer. He loved them! I ended up having to send out more for his cabin mates. It’s a great natural option.
Sarah Caldwell
I found them in a small drug store last year, and fell in love with them! I hate putting DEET or chemical products on my skin. I was at the beach in the evening all summer long and was amazed. They’re not as effective as OFF, but they are the best natural product I’ve tried.
Chris Thompson
I bought them off the website for my lake house just to try. It was easier than dealing with sprays and lotions, I even put one on my dog. They last forever, and they smell great.
Susan Davis
It is true that nothing works as well as the harsh chemicals, but after I had my first baby I didn’t want that stuff around the house. This was a great alternative for my family.
Trinity
I took them to horseback riding camp, and I liked them because I didn’t get bitten by mosquitoes!
Lillian
I have very sensitive skin and always had trouble finding a product that could protect me from mosquito’s while not irritating my skin. Up until now I had no luck with any of the natural products available, but then I discovered GONE bands. They are fantastic and I would recommend them to everyone!
Allison
I was looking for a product that would be long lasting and water proof for my kids. Some mosquito repellents claim that they last up to several hours even after getting wet but none of them work. The GONE band is great because unlike the sprays and creams I’ve tried, you never have to worry about reapplying. The kids can go in and out of the lake and never get bitten which is great because it means that I don’t have to worry.
