Manufactured and marketed with promises to help reduce or prevent a myriad of motion sickness symptoms, these glasses are the latest self-help wonder to currently trend on TikTok. And now there's a new option you might have not even heard of yet : a nti-motion sickness glasses. Thankfully, though, there are several remedies for motion sickness, from prescribed patches to over-the-counter antihistamines.

I know that there are patches with medication that are known to be super effective but these can get you addicted for example. Not entirely ready to put it to the test yet, though… If someone could try them and give me news? Thanks!įact is, after having tried the most common 'best tricks for seasickness', this is the first thing where I’m actually confident that it might even work on a sailing-cruise. It comes at a price, though: I paid 99 € for a pair…īut maybe once they get more popular, they will be produced in masses and the prices will go down.Īlso, I found a cheap version on Amazon but I don't know if it works the exact same way. So yes, to me, so far, this is THE best method to get over those heavy nauseas when boarding. Usually, once it’s there, it doesn’t go away until I reach solid land! But here it did! ![]() I waited for 15 minutes and YES, the nausea disappeared!! I jumped out of the car and on deck and put on the glasses. Because we were moving backwards, I got nauseous pretty quickly (can’t do that in trains either: riding backwards). On the previous ferry, the one getting we took in order to see the Santorini sunsets, we were waiting to park our car while already on the ferry.Īnd the ferry had already departed. I guess this means that it really does something! But this was 2 hours ago and I still feel super fine! I did wear them for the recommended 15 minutes before unpacking my computer. It has been either very big car-ferries where you generally feel a lot less motion or smaller speed-ferries.īut like I told you in the introduction: I am actually typing this article on my computer. Okay the only problem here is: I have only tested them on bigger boats so far. And I took beautiful pictures of whale tails – magic moment!īut the worst part wasn’t even the throwing up on the boat, no. Meanwhile, we did see loads of sperm whales and I managed to keep watching them even though my stomach was playing Rumba. Half an hour in to the tour and three quarters of the boat were either hanging over the railing or barfing in the paper bags they kindly distributed. But up and down and sideways – ohhh those sideway movements…Īnyway, I was far from being the only one starting to turn green. So we boarded the boat and as soon as we left the port, the waves started crashing in! We’re talking waves of several meters high, rocking the boat up and down, over and sideways. The day we booked the tour to watch the sperm whales off the coast of Kaikoura in New-Zealand, the weather was incredibly bad.Īt some point, the organisers weren’t even sure if they should let us head out into the open sea because it was so stormy. Where my fear of getting seasick stems from ![]()
