I just got on here to rave about the bands! I don't know/care if it is the placebo effect, but I feel so much better. I also picked up the gum at CVS, but haven't used it yet. Sounds like a winner, though! Glad you are getting some relief!
I also just purchased the bands this weekend out of pure desperation (altho I have Zofran, Im trying not to take anything first tri) and they WORK! I can function like a human being and altho get waves of nausea easily controlled with laying down for a few.. The real test will be at work. So far I def. have felt better. Placebo or not, I want the old me back (plus baby)
I havent had any nausea yet but when I was nauseous due to medication a few years ago - Gravol ginger tablets changed my life. If ginger gum is safe, I assume gravol ginger is safe too. ? dont quote me on that one.
I bought them and wore them for about an hour before work and then took them off after I got there...I felt like everyone was staring at them!
Yeah, definitely not wearing to work without long sleeves covering. We haven't told anyone and i don't want to get dozens of inquiries as to why I'm rocking the bands. But, at home, awesome!

Haha - me too! I actually borrowed a cardigan from a friend the first day I wore them to work because I was wearing a 3/4 sleeve top and felt paranoid that everyone was going to be staring at me and wondering why I was wearing them.
Now I make a point of wearing long sleeves every day!
Re: morning sickness remedy (or any pregnancy nausea)
Awesome - I have the bands, which have helped - but I have to try the gum too!
