The vapors from the plastic BugBand wristband form a protective shield around the immediate area keeping insects a safe distance away. While many repellents are easily diluted or rinsed off with swimming or perspiration the wristband just keeps working up to 120 hours. It is packaged in an innovative reusable plastic pod which can be used to store the wristband and can be sealed between uses to preserve the active life of the product. The plastic band is designed with a patented break-away strap that snaps if it becomes entangled.
