Product Description
Introducing the UVSunSenseTM wristband-a convenient, reliable means to monitor exposure to harmful UV rays for you and your children. The UVSunSenseTM wristband is engineered to be used in conjunction with a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher to alert you to potential excessive exposure as you work or play in the sun. According to the American Cancer Society, a sunburn will fade; but damage to deeper layers of skin remains and can eventually cause cancer. That's why sun-safe habits should begin

 Great for the fair-skinned May 28, 2009

I have fair freckly skin that burns easily and I often accidentally get sunburned because I don't realize I've been in the sun too long until it's too late. These wristbands help you decide when it's time to put on more sunscreen and time to get out of the sun.
It's not completely obvious from the directions which colors mean "reapply sunscreen" and "get out of the sun", but I think it probably depends on how fair your skin is. I just reapplied sunscreen when it was sort of peachy-colored and got out of the sun when it started to get a little yellowy. Over the three sunny days boating on a lake, I didn't get even a little sunburned.

These things are really smart for long days in the sun. You put them on before going outside, then apply sunscreen, completely covering the band. When you go out in the sun it turns bright purple. The band will start to fade the longer you stay out - you reapply sunscreen when it turns lavender. When the band turns almost white - it's time to go in.
For someone with super pale skin who burns after being outside for a few minutes, these things are a lifesaver. I've spent 6 hours out in the blazing sun and been totally fine. Definitely a summer staple.

didnt realize there is a little more to them than just putting on your wrist...gave to 5yr and 8 yr old and the parents and although a good monitoring device,not too sure I would do again...Not bad though!!!!! was fun for the kids watching the bands change.!

I applied sunblock to the bracelet prior to going outside and when I stepped outside, the bracelet changed colors within 10 minutes. If you burn in 10 minutes, this bracelet is useful. If you have any resistance to the sun at all, then the bracelet is useless!
 garbage, don't rely on it. July 2, 2010

This is a piece of garbage, don't rely on this item to assist you in the monitoring of your childs exposure to the sun. The arm band easily falls off and turns dark almost immediately when exposed to the sun (after its been coated with SPF 50). You are far better using good old fashioned common sense when it comes to your childrens time of exposure and apply re-applications yourself as needed and instructed on each lotion or spray bottle.
