How to select the correct size
Most adults find the "Adult 8" size is best. The "Youth 7" size is best for children up to about age 13 or adults with very small wrists.
An adult with very large wrists may find the Adult 8" is still too small, they will have to find another way to express their support of this cause - or use the wristband in a keychain or around a beverage container.
Adult Size 8" in circumference or exactly 202 mm
Youth Size 7" in circumference or exactly 180 mm

Works perfectly. Each one came wrapped in its own sealed plastic wrapper. I go out in the sun, it turns purple. Well done, UV color changing wristband, well done.

Exactly what I had ordered & will offer free from our Health Services table to attendees at Washington State School Retirees' Association (WSSRA) which begins Sept. 11. Used this same product in 2019 and since this summer is still so hot, my committee is certain the bracelets will be gratefully accepted by our retirees. Thank you for your promptness.
Merchant Response:Thank you for your review, and for helping to spread the word about sun safety!

This is a very good reminder to wear sunscreen when outdoors. It works perfect by turning purple in the sun which does get your attention. For a person who has had skin cancer three times this is exactly what I needed. I am pleased with this product.

I work in a physical therapy clinic and, as you can imagine, we see a lot of skin. We always mention to patients when we notice something suspicious and suggest they follow up with their dermatologist. I bought 30 to gift to our patients as a reminder to protect themselves and they flew out the door. Just bought 50 more! Thank you so much for this incredible tool in the fight against skin cancer.
Merchant Response:Thank you for the great review! We love to hear how our products are being used!

May 12, 2018
well made. size it correct. Good reminder when it changes colors BUT, the second the sun hits it, it changes. So it's not real accurate. PS, if you wash your hands in warm water, it'll change too.
Merchant Response:Thank you for your review. We would like to make sure we clarify how the wristbands work and what their intended purpose is. Simply said, the wristbands will turn purple when you walk out into the sun as a reminder to apply sunscreen. They are NOT intended to change with the intensity of the sun or act as an indicator of when to get out of the sun. We hope you enjoy the wristbands and continue to promote the importance of safety in the sun and how to help prevent skin cancer.

Instructions ?
March 5, 2018
I love the concept of the bracelet! However, no instructions or information came with them to determine what to do when does the color purple gets brighter and brighter. I would have hoped there would have been some explanation and possibly what to do or what to avoid when this occurs. It turns purple almost immediately in the Sun and this has me worried with no knowledge other than applying sunscreen to do. Is anything available???
Merchant Response:Thank you for your review. Simply said, the wristbands will turn purple when you walk out into the sun as a reminder to apply sunscreen. They are NOT intended to change with the intensity of the sun or act as an indicator of when to get out of the sun. We mention these tips above: Wear this wristband out into the sun and it quickly, "magically" changes color from soft white to purple. The color change and the message, "If purple - PROTECT - Prevent Skin Cancer" is a reminder to the wearer that when purple you are exposed to strong UV rays. Steps to protect might include: sun screen lotion, a wide brimmed hat, clothing that covers more of your skin, staying in the shade, going inside. Hopefully this information helps, and you enjoy wearing the wristbands and sharing the message they represent to protect your skin and prevent skin cancer.

Works great. Turns purple in the sun. Very helpful to know if there are UV rays around you. I also use it to test the windows in my home and car to see how much UV rays they let in.

U V wrist band

We have enjoyed this wrist band, we love that it changes color (purpil) with UV rays.
We wear these all the times and wished we had ordered more.

These even turn color in a vehicle. They can't tell between UVB and UVA. UVA does pass through windows, so use a broad spectrum sunscreen to protect against both UVB and UVA.
Use only as a reminder for kids to wear sunscreen.
Merchant Response:Thanks for taking the time to write. The wristbands are intended to be a simple reminder to wear sunscreen when you're exposed to the sun and are not intended to tell the difference between the different types of ultraviolet light. We hope everyone remembers to protect their skin to help prevent skin cancer.

They change color as soonas you hit UV rays...my practice was a sponsor for a walk/fun run and we all wore these in support of Melanoma and skin cancer research and awareness - they were such a hit! Even people at Starbucks were asking about them. Great purchase and highly recommended.

A Vampire's dream!
April 12, 2015
After removal of a melanoma I bought 6 of these bracelets. I put one on, put on high factor sunscreen (my dermatologist and oncologist recommended) and went out in the sun at 8.30am to walk my dogs. The bracelet immediately turned a dark purple. No lavender, just straight to dark within 1 minute of being outside. I hadn't even walked to the end of my drive. I continued to wear the bracelet with sunscreen over the next week and it continued to immediately turn dark purple within minutes of being outside, even at 7.30am and 7.30pm. I have given up on this product now. The premise was good - lavender reminds you to renew sunscreen and dark purple tells you to get out of the sun. If it worked it would be a great idea. It just doesn't work - it is too sensitive! I wouldn't recommend this product or buy it again.
For Vampires so they can avoid 100% of the sun's rays!

protectig made simple
March 12, 2015
My dad has stage 4M melanoma cancer and I bough these for family and friends. Makes it very simple when you should apply sunscreen. All are very happy to wear the braclets and are more aware when they should protect. As melanoma is such an aggressive disease and effect so many younger people I think these are a must and the cheapest way to let you know how awful the sun is. So be aware and everyone protect yourself from another awful form of dreaded cancer

I have a friend with Melanoma & wanted to help the family. I ordered these wristbands for only $.99 & sold them for $3 & all the money went to the family. I received them within 2 days of ordering & the price was great so I could actually raise some money for them. Thank you Support Store for the discounted price & speedy delivery!!
