IT STARTED WITH A PAIR OF UGLY WRISTBANDS.
Back in 2010, Blisslets’ founder, Katherine, was pregnant with her first child and struggling with morning sickness. Acupressure wristbands helped, but there was one problem: she hated wearing them.
The bulky bands weren’t exactly subtle, and Katherine wasn’t ready to share her pregnancy at work. So she did what any perfectly reasonable person would do in a muggy Washington, D.C. summer: she wore a suit jacket to hide them.
It didn’t work.
One day, the bands peeked out from beneath her sleeves. A coworker spotted them and called out, loudly enough for the office to hear, “Hey! I didn’t know you were pregnant!” Mortifying? Yes. But it sparked a very good question.
Why can’t acupressure bracelets look like regular jewelry?
Years later, while expecting her second child and once again reaching for acupressure bands, Katherine realized there still wasn’t an option that felt comfortable, discreet and stylish enough to wear every day.
So she set out to create one.
Working with designers, medical professionals and real acupressure users, Blisslets transformed the familiar nausea wristband into something people might actually want to wear: jewelry-inspired bracelets with the same simple idea at their core—targeted pressure on the P6 acupressure point.
Relief you don't have to hide.
Blisslets were created around a simple idea: nausea relief can be practical without looking clinical.
Blisslets combine function with jewelry-inspired designs you can wear wherever the day takes you.
Wherever you're headed, we hope Blisslets help you feel a little more comfortable getting there.
Here's to many beautiful adventures!
