1)      Why did you buy a Mediband?
Over the last few years, I have developed several allergies and intolerances.  A few worrying experiences in hospitals, where staff were not always aware of my allergies, and the fear that I might need treatment when I can’t tell people what I’m allergic to, made me decide to purchase some kind of medical alert jewellery. Several metal versions have broken, and there is not enough space to list what I need written.  I also play sports where no jewellery is allowed.  The Mediband is easy to get on and off for a game.  Mediband has lasted through a year of travel, work (childcare), DIY, gardening, swimming, and general busy life without losing any colour or fill.
