Two elastic bands, one on each wrist with a "button". The button in the elastic band hits a pressure point on the underside of the wrist. I went from the patch before medication to the wrist bands for sea sickness, it works! I live in Southern Calif. & picked a set up for around $15 at a scuba/dive shop. If you need more information on purchasing this product, let me know. Good luck, Bob G. [log in to unmask]
