'No itchy legs': These bestselling mosquito repellent bracelets are down to 80 cents a pop
Ah, summer. Season of beach trips, barbecues ... and never-ending bug bites. Unfortunately, we still have a couple more months of peak itchiness to go, but the good news? Amazon shoppers have found a low-effort, effective way of banishing those little menaces before they become a problem. If you'd rather not douse yourself in DEET, you'll want to stock up on Cliganic Mosquito Repellent Bracelets. These No. 1 bestselling bands swap DEET for essential oils to ward off those pesky pests, and right now you can snag a 10-pack on sale for just $8 — that's right, under $1 a pop! Add 'em to your cart before this deal gets swatted away.
These cruelty-free DEET-free bracelets are made with bug-repelling essential oils. Bye-bye, sticky spray!
You're probably thinking, How well could brightly colored bracelets really keep bugs away? According to the 10,000+ Amazon shoppers who gave them perfect five-star ratings, quite well!
The bands are made with geraniol, lemongrass and, of course, citronella oil — ingredients that have been shown to effectively repel mosquitoes. While bug sprays containing DEET can be very effective, they can also cause irritation to the skin — somewhat counterproductive when it's skin protection you're after in the first place! With these bands, you simply slip them onto your wrist or ankle — no icky residue to be found. Oh, and since they're waterproof, you can wear them while you swim without needing to reapply any lotions or sprays.
Their stretchy design adjusts to wrists and ankles of all sizes, and since they come in a variety of fun colors, each family member can choose their own individual hue. Even kids will love wearing them! Plus, they come individually wrapped in their own resealable pouches to keep them fresh, and they can last for up to 250 hours after being opened.
Still not convinced they belong on your summer essentials list? Keep reading to see why these five-star reviewers swear by them:
"A must-have," raved one happy shopper. "These were lifesavers! We brought them on our trip to Jamaica and never got bit! There were plenty of mosquitoes around by the beach but we never were bugged. It's great to be able to go in water with these, too."
"No itchy legs," added a succinct reviewer. "They are easy to use they don't smell bad."
"I admit I was skeptical about these bands," said a Cliganic convert. "I'd heard good things, but I usually get eaten alive by mosquitoes. We recently went camping, and within three minutes of getting out of the truck, I had bites. I placed the band on my arm and wore it all weekend. I didn't get another bite until I took the band off. My kids weren't big fans of the scent, but it's not overpowering. Smells like citronella. I would recommend these for all ages."
"Miraculous!" proclaimed another impressed customer. "I am one of those people who get bitten when no one else does. These have changed my life ... I've even gardened early and late in the day and no bug bites since I started wearing them two months ago. I don't step outside without them. However, I wear one on each wrist and ankle and tie one in my hair, too, when gardening. When I eat outdoors, I put one on or by my plate. No flies even come around. If they work for me, they'll work for anyone. This is my first Amazon review ever. Can't say enough positives about them ... They last a long time. I'm still wearing ones I opened two months ago."
These bracelets won't be on sale forever, so nab them before the deal — just like those buggies — flies away for good. Here's to an itch-free end of summer!
Who knew a bug repeller could also make a cute lil' accessory?
