"I was excited to try these mosquito repellent bracelets. While I wouldn’t rely on them solely, they work well when combined with other methods.

"I usually hold off on reviews, but I'm tired of being the only one wearing these bracelets while everyone else gets bitten. They really work well and have a great citronella scent. I can wear them multiple times if I reseal them. I hate using DEET, so this is a fantastic alternative!"
