Has anyone tried the OFF clip on? I've read some reviews, some are good, some bad. Have any of you moms tried it?
Thank you

I LOVE it. My parents bought some, and I'm the type of person that gets eaten alive. I could be outside with my husband, and he'll go home with maybe five bites, and I'll have 30-40 bites. I'm not exaggerating. My mom gave me one of the clips to use at her house. I didn't get bit by a single mosquito. Not one. Totally worth buying!

I have one and when I use it for my 20 month old I clip it to the back of her shorts. It has worked fine for us. I was worried about the repellent being sprayed but I just don't face it towards anyone or any food. I have issues with putting any kind of repellent directly onto the skin so this works for us.

We have one for each of us in the family. Since we're outside in the garden a lot pulling weeds and such, we are always bothered by mosquitos. I figure the repellent spraying into the air isn't much worse than coating yourself with the spray stuff since that gets absorbed into your body too. My kids love walking around with them and it's much more convenient than having to lather up with the smelly spray on stuff. So, I'd recommend it.

I wanted to use it, but my sister said it actually sprays the repellent into the air and has a warning not to use it around food for that very reason. Since I have a 1 year old, I don't think I'll try it as I don't want him inhaling more repellent than necessary.

That said, my sister said it worked only "ok".

Don't bother. Mix up some vanilla extract and water (3-4 drops per ouce) and spray it on. Try it. I promise it will work.

My daughter brought it to a very buggy day camp and I did notice a reduction in bites. But if it is windy or if you move around quickly the effectiveness is compromised. It is pretty good, but not great.
