With the arrival of warm weather comes annoying insects. The worst culprit? Mosquitoes. While it's inevitable they'll be hanging around when it's hot, the best mosquito repellent bracelets are infused with a blend of essential oils that last for several hours or days and promise to help keep these pests far, far away.
Sure, you could reach for the DEET, but if you prefer to avoid potentially harmful chemicals, an essential oil bracelet is a natural bug-deterring option. Natural repellents are not regulated in the same manner as chemicals, which means they're probably not going to be effective if you are in a mosquito-heavy area like the woods. But bracelets are easier to apply than sprays, several are waterproof and designed for outdoor activities, and bug-repelling oils like citronella, lemongrass, and lavender smell better than chemicals. Just be sure that you enjoy the scent and aren't allergic or sensitive to whichever option you go with.
Another thing to keep in mind is how often you plan on using your bracelet. While stretchy bug repellent bracelets are great for a couple of uses, the oils will eventually get weaker and less effective. If you go with stretchy bracelets, be sure they come in resealable bags to preserve them for longer. And if you plan on spending a lot of time outdoors, it may be worth it to go with a reusable bug repellent bracelet that you can refill.
If you aren't sure where to start, I've got you. Here are some excellent bracelets that will help keep mosquitos at bay.
