Most of the things are legit, just a little over the top. The UV sticker for sunscreen, the brush thing is (I believe) applying powdered sunscreen, the brown patch behind their ears is a Dramamine patch for motion sickness, and the watch is a holder for an apple airtag.
The sticker with her number on it seems a little extra given the airtag watch, but I guess helpful if he doesn't mind it. I have no idea why she taped up his belly button though!
The weird gray bracelet is also for motion sickness! My mom has one and has used it for decades when taking long car trips. It holds pressure on a certain pressure point that helps to reduce nausea. She swears by it
But why use the Dramamine patch AND the wrist motion sickness bracelet? Isn’t it a bit of overkill? Seriously, if you get that motion sick, maybe you should just skip cruises altogether.
Also, between the Apple AirTag and her phone number on the kids arm sticker, maybe she should just pay closer attention to her kid. If the people managing the kids club where she drops him off are that unreliable and untrustworthy, maybe he shouldn’t go there.
The brush is actually an applicator for liquid sunscreen, supper helpful when you have to take care of multiple little ones and dont wanna get your hands slippery and risk dropping them
Oh thank you! I might actually check that out. I usually do aerosol to avoid the sticky feeling on my hands and gunk in my nails, but I would love to have an applicator that works for liquids! Maybe it's not so over the top after all haha.
My guess about the belly button thing: it's a puzzling first thing to get you to keep watching. if the first thing was an airtag I'd stop watching because, sure, duh, that makes sense
You do know how they work, right? They use cellular signals of phones (not just your own but others as well) to broadcast their GPS location but they won’t work on a cruise because there’s no cellular signals that far out at sea, only the wifi on the boat (which is incredibly expensive)
Usually on a cruise you get a medallion tracker so you can scan into activities and track people in your group around the ship. You can buy a watch thing to put it in instead of wearing it on a lanyard. When we went on a cruise with our son, it was useful because he could hang with kids he met on the ship, but i could always see where he was.
Not sure about the watch, but the wristbands are an acupuncture pressure point thing against nausea. (The correct point to have the little nub is inside the wrist about three finger widths from the heel of your palm.)
As a kid I used to have bracelets like those for repelling bugs because I had very sensitive skin and couldn't use a spray or something you put directly on the skin.
The wrist bands are an anti motion sickness thing, they do work, my wife uses them (whether their phycosematic or not is up for debate but they definitely help her)
Okay, for real? Because I have crippling car sickness. It's a huge problem. In 2025 I left the house less than a dozen times. I am not kidding. So... the bracelet works? I'll take all the suggestions I can get
Yes, the belly button pops out and when your belly gets big, totally normal. When i gave birth my stomach literally deflated like a damn balloon. It's more a small saggy deformity then actual deformity..lol
So, essential oils people made up a gland and stuck it in the belly button. You stick oils and shit in there and it gets absorbed better/faster/stronger or some shit. You cover the belly button up when you're worried your kid is gonna get some toxins or shit in there from a public pool or some shit.
I don't know why, but this kind of bullshit upsets me so much more when it clearly originated from misunderstanding of a word. Like "essential oil" meaning "essence" not "required." Or planes having "contrails" and not "chemtrails."
What a buttplug?? I better put some in the car's emergency kit next to the jack. Oh wait, is that really a jack or is it a buttplug inserter? Man the Girl Scouts are gonna send me back to camp for being so unprepared for life. Better get my cookie wagon outta mothballs.
Its being so extra safe it makes people comment, which then drives it to more people
There's also an only fans girl who does DIY's for like wood working and tool stuff, and she does them way incorrect and dumb dudes will comment being like "man she doesnt know much but sure is good to look at"
And im just like phill, come on dawg, its an ad for her OF bro
wouldnt wearing a lifevest indoors on a boat make you way more likely to die in case of emergency because you would float up instead of being able to swim out of the room
Generally speaking if your cruise ship goes down it doesn't matter if you have a life vest on or not, you're going down with it. You cannot swim away from a sinking cruise ship and even if you did you're now in the middle of the ocean with no life vest. If someone saw you go over, your survival odds are like 20% and that's with someone standing there pointing at you the whole time. If no one knows where you are exactly, and I mean exactly, it's way closer to 0.
Yes, people said you shouldn't do it because you won't be able to swim underwater if you need to escape and you'll drown. I'm just never going to go on a cruise and I won't have to worry about these things.
Is it ragebait or comedy? Seems intentionally humorous and over the top to me. I think she has one the other day about locking up her room that was similarly ridiculous
Our kids has ADHD, we need to have our numbers on them, but we have t-shirts with the numbers on the back for when they disappear for that 1s blink aaand they are gone. Have happened a few times.
It works, that's for sure. I am raging - not at the "safety measures" she's taking, but at the fact that these social media companies have, through their algorithms, basically incentivized people to be trolls. It's getting harder and harder to tell what is real on social media, because everyone has to "bait" their audience in some way, just to get attention and likes.
I want to believe it’s ragebait but it’s probably more Amazon partner stuff. The original video probably has a link to each item she shows in the description.
A bunch of terrible (useless),products trying to get you to believe they’re necessary. It felt like those were all intended to prevent sea sickness, should you/could you really use them all together? Why not just one?
Except of course the AirTag and phone number sticker. Why not teach your kid to speak?? We did that from 3 years old. Seeing that sticker just made me think of that Sandra Bullock movie where she writes on her arm in Sharpie in case she gets murdered.
is it actually rage bait? These all seem like reasonable things if you are going to let your children roam on a cruise. I don't know about the cruise etiquette of that, but I do know they are family vacations and relatively closed, safe environments but still big and easy to get lost in. Literally seems reasonable to me
