If you hate the sticky, chemical feel of bug spray on your skin or are sensitive to smells, you may wonder if there’s any way to get relief from irritating blood-suckers this summer. This is especially so if you live in a climate where you don’t expect the pests to retreat when fall arrives. In this case, we come bearing good news. Introducing this multi-pack of colorful, stretchy Cilganic bracelets. Instead of overstimulating ingredients, these DEET-free bands use essential oils to deter bugs from your limbs. And right now, you can grab a 10-pack of individually wrapped bracelets for only $9.49, making each bracelet less than a buck.
Reviewers say these bands are easy, affordable and actually work to keep bugs away. In fact, one reviewer says the bracelets are just as effective as spray, ”but are 100x easier and 100x less sticky and stinky,” noting they last “all day” and are kiddo-approved.
Cilganic’s bracelets use citronella and lemongrass oils to ward away mosquitoes without harsh-smelling chemicals.
Instead of a tacky spray, fans wear a few of these bands around their wrists and ankles. Reviewers say they not only work, but they smell great, too. “The citronella-based formula is pleasantly mild and natural-smelling - no harsh chemical odors like many other products,” one wrote.
