Psi Bands
Nausea Relief Acupressure Wristband
6.9/10 overallAround £8 for a pair
An adjustable acupressure wristband using the same P6 pressure-point principle as Sea-Band, in a wider range of colours and patterns.
The verdict
Psi Bands use the identical P6 acupressure principle as Sea-Band's wristbands, but with a wider range of colours and patterns and a fabric strap some find more comfortable for all-day wear. Best for anyone who wants the same drug-free mechanism as Sea-Band with more styling choice. Evidence for acupressure bands generally is mixed, not strong.
Psi Bands work on the identical P6 acupressure principle as Sea-Band Mama's wristbands already in this category — a small plastic stud applies pressure to a point on the inner wrist that some people find eases nausea, a technique also used for travel sickness. The main practical difference is styling: Psi Bands come in a wider range of patterns and colours, and use a fabric strap rather than Sea-Band's more clinical elastic band, which some find more comfortable for all-day wear.
Since both products use the same underlying mechanism, effectiveness should be broadly comparable — NHS guidance notes acupressure bands are a reasonable drug-free option to try, without claiming strong evidence either way. The choice between this and Sea-Band mostly comes down to comfort and appearance preference rather than a meaningful difference in how they work.

Frequently asked questions
How is Psi Bands different from Sea-Band Mama?+
They work on the identical P6 acupressure principle — a small plastic stud applies pressure to a point on the inner wrist. The main practical difference is styling: Psi Bands come in a wider range of patterns and colours, and use a fabric strap rather than Sea-Band's more clinical elastic band.
Do they work as well as Sea-Band?+
Since both products use the same underlying P6 acupressure mechanism, effectiveness should be broadly comparable — NHS guidance notes acupressure bands are a reasonable drug-free option to try, without claiming strong evidence either way, so evidence for the category generally is mixed rather than strong.
Are they reusable?+
Yes — they're drug-free, reusable and washable, in an adjustable one-size fabric wristband sold as a pair, using the same well-established P6 pressure-point technique also used for travel sickness, applying pressure to a point on the inner wrist that some people find eases nausea.
Is there a real advantage over Sea-Band?+
The choice between this and Sea-Band mostly comes down to comfort and appearance preference rather than a meaningful difference in how they work — Psi Bands just come in a wider range of patterns and colours with a fabric strap, with no functional advantage over Sea-Band's more clinical elastic band beyond styling and colour choice.
