When I was ten years old, my aunt took me whale watching for the first time, along with my mother, sister, and cousin. All five of us packed up the car and headed to Half Moon Bay, California for a day of adventure out on the great blue sea.
However, a little over an hour into the trip my stomach started feeling queasy. Then a few moments later, I leaned over the boat and watched the beautiful ocean pass me by the rest of the time.
So when I recently learned about the Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals No More Missed Moments Challenge, I was up for the adventure!
Motion sickness is a common condition that affects millions of people – including more than half of women (54%). Yet many sufferers don’t do anything to treat it, or treat it with the wrong products and ineffective methods.
Dramamine recently conducted a national survey of women who suffered from motion sickness to see what they were avoiding and why. The results that came in were very interesting. 53% of women avoid the highway for road trips, 51% do not go on rides at amusement parks and 50% stay home instead of going on a cruise. That’s me!
Can you relate to any of these statistics? I know I can. After my initial experience of going whale watching when I was ten years old, I didn’t do it again until I took my son for the first time last Saturday.
I also invited along Field Trip Boy’s best friend and his mom for some fun.
But this time around, before I got on the boat, I made sure I was prepared! I took one dose of Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals 30 minutes beforehand.
Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals is the first non drowsy natural solution for motion sickness from Dramamine®, the leaders in motion sickness treatment. It contains the clinically tested ginger dosage required for preventing and treating motion sickness symptoms like nausea and vomiting. And since Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals are made from natural ginger, it is approved for use in adults and children two years and older and safe to use every day when traveling.
Not once when I went whale watching with my son did I feel sick or have to lean over the edge of the boat. Instead I saw dolphins, enjoyed the beautiful view and glanced upon the enamoring coastline.
In fact, everyone on the trip had a great time, especially my son and his best friend.
Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals are available at most drug and grocery retailers throughout the United States. For more information about Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals and to download a coupon, visit www.dramamine.com.
Happy Field Tripping!

I've taken Dramamine on a cruise once, during a storm, and for a helicopter ride too! And it really worked well!

I've always been lucky enough not to suffer from motion-sickness; but my mom always swore by Dramamine. She took it all the time!
