How long should I wear the Sea-Band Mama! wristband each day?
The wristbands can be worn continuously throughout the day and night, as needed. They are designed to provide ongoing relief from nausea and can be worn before the onset of symptoms or when nausea begins. Ensure the bands are positioned correctly over the P6 point for optimal effectiveness.
Can the Sea-Band Mama! wristband be used for conditions other than morning sickness?
