- When I saw the boarding ring for the first time at a chandlery in Cherbourg, I knew I had to get my hands on them and give them a try.
Could those goofy looking glasses really be the “miracle cure” against seasickness? I had to find out…
So ladies and gentlemen, after months of trying them out in various conditions onboard Polar Seal, here is how the seasickness glasses worked for me…
And if in spite of everything, you still want to order your pair, here is where to do so! (Definitely not a sponsored link)

Hey R&S. Can you talk about the other things you take/use for seasickness? The wrist bands worked well for me back when I did the Amalfi Coast a few years back on a cat, but a review of what else is available (pills, patches, Ondansetron, etc) would be great. Thanks! Hope Iowa is treating you well.
FukTheNewCommentSystem there’s a full test in yachting monthly with a lot of things . I don’t want to copy here their results but no surprises at all....
Ryan & Sophie Sailing bonjour Sophie est ce que tu les gardes quand même les lunettes ou souhaites tu les revendre ?
Je vais les garder :)

Ginger. It's the real trick. Ginger snaps. Ginger beer. Gingerbread. Whenever possible I try to make sure there's some on board. Ginger snaps cookies because it has some volume. Try it you'll be amazed. It works immediatly.
They make really good birth control glasses.🤣
Ryan would agree with that ;)
I doubt that. He'll still knock it down no matter what you wear.
I really like the video. You actually bought them and then did a review. I also looked for them so much and finally bought. Still have the impression to end up with the same result.
Too much! Sophie, you are a natural at this. I think the only real cure for seasickness is to watch this channel as often as possible! 😉 Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😍⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵
Merci Mademoiselle Sophie, Job Well Done ! Another amusing, entertaining, informative and captivating vlog! Keep up the great work - you are a natural. Not to take anything away from Ryan's involvement. The two of you are a perfect.
Thank you for making this video, it saved me some trouble, take care Ryan and Sophie^^
Glad it helped.
Hi Sophie, I need to tell you that you could upload 3 videos talking only about “toilet paper” that I would certainly end with a smile on my face ..... I always enjoy your videos 👍😁. Ciao from Italy 🇮🇹
Hi Sophie & Ryan,
Great video quality over here !
The liquid of your glasses looks red, which is surprising as we only sell glasses with blue liquid inside. Not the main concern though.
The best way to improve your experience with the Boarding Glasses would be to move them a little bit further toward your nose tip. This would make sure your eyes detect the move of the (blue) liquid in the side rings. In some instances, some adjustments need to be done, which seems the case here, according to some parts of your video. Feel free to reach out if any question, have a safe trip !
Boarding Ring team
Oh oh...did China knock off your glasses already Boarding Ring?
Thanks for the video! I feel I will die when I take a boat!!! Oh gosh... BTW, you look stylish wearing that crazy classes! 😂😉
Thank you for your product review of the glasses, I'm somewhat prone to sea-sickness too and was tempted to purchase these glasses. Strangely enough, many talked about them but you seem to be the only one who tried them and gave feedback. It would be awesome if you could share your other tips regarding your sea-sickness and how you manage it.
Two words..
Transderm Scōp. Everyone is different, but these patches are a great help to me.
Lol great video! I absolutely love your sense of humor. Can't wait until you guys sailing again.
Thanks Bart! I had too much fun making this video (apart from when they made me seasick ;)) Can't wait to be back on the water either! /Sophie
Great review! Your styling in sales gimmick glasses. Does Ryan like your stylish glasses. Your sense of humor is outstanding.
Ryan hated those glasses so much 😂 and to be fair to him, he has good reason! I spent too much time trying to find them and they made me seasick like crazy...
But it was a fun try 😂
/Sophie
Love your humour, Sophie! But I do sympathise with you as seasickness is the worst part of sailing. There's no escape! I used to get it quite bad at the beginning of the sailing season but things gradually eased as I did more sailing during the course of the year. Love those glasses though, pity they don't work!!
So are you saying that if I just keep exposing myself to being on a boat and getting sea sick it will get better eventually?
@@cameroncabrera6476 I seem to be getting worse with each trip. How has it worked out for you and have you learned anything useful? Thanks.
You might try acupuncture I hear it works great! I don’t get sick and I am glad. Good luck!
After sailing 100s of miles with someone with a similar condition as you have, we stumbled upon the cure. When there is ANY risk of sea sickness, you cannot go below. EVER. Use a bucket if you have to go. Stay out of the cabin... period. NO, you can't go below even for a minute. NO making meals below (eat MREs enroute). Sleep in the cockpit if you must. You should be looking at your next boat being a center cockpit.
Another a good video,many thanks really ,really nice
We have had a positive experience with this product, having tried many other solutions. The only issue we have had is one of durability, but the aftersales department is helpful and prompt to answer.
The case looks nice:-)
Hahaha 😂
Oh may goodness! This video and your trial and error with the glasses was most entertaining. However, I'm sorry that your seasickness ruin part of your passages. I guess stay with what works for you. Happy sailing in 2019 for you and Ryan. ⛵️🙂
Scopolamine is the only thing that has ever worked for me. BUT, here is the key, if you use "the patch" remember it takes HOURS to get that product into your system, so....put it on the night before, it's good for three days. How do you know if it is working? If you have "dry mouth"; if you wake up in the morning with serious dry mouth--it is working.
Years working on fishing boats in Alaska... a soft foam ear plug in one ear reduces problem by about 50%.
I’ve heard one ear plug as well from several reliable sources. Too bad I don’t get seasick to try it out! Also MythBusters tried a bunch of different things and the only one that gave a little relief was ginger.
@@danbauhaus9571
There we go. I was wondering if someone else knew the ginger trick. Charter sailing I always tried to have it around. Ginger snap cookies are the best thing when you have the, umm, empty stomach. Only problem is I'm going to eat all the cookies. Sorry, I just can't help it.
For my motion sickness as a passenger in a car, I have tried drinking ginger beer while sucking on ginger candies. Didn't help a bit. I'll have to get foam ear plugs. I've, also, tried the wristbands with the pressure "ball". That didn't work, either. I haven't been on the ocean much but I have been fine when I was.
Im so angry at myself for feeling sea sick. My first job was at a cruise and I was sea sick all the time. I was able to visit like 25 countries but then resigned as I could no longer allow myself sick....I wish I could now buy my own boat and sail the pacific but that will never happen as I would be so sick I would not be able to enjoy
All I learned about motion sickness is, it goes away after three days at see. You look really great with your rings of fire ;-))
Fair winds
Tom
Thanks Tom! We’ve never been more than three days at sea, but I can say that after 6 months living on Polar Seal, my seasickness has gotten a lot better... hopefully, season 2 will be better! /Sophie 🤓
Sophie, it becomes better@@RyanSophieSailing be sure. My wife had serious probs with seasickness. It's nearly away now. It's still a nightmare sailing downwinds on rolling sea. And really, salt humps told me, its away after three days at sea.
Fair winds
Tom
I've been waiting so long to see these!!! Keep it up your awsome sauce!
You'll be the hit of the party with those beauts.
Party glasses for Halloween Sophie 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Merci and best from cold HKG 🇭🇰
thank you
Well done!
I couldn't see how these could work.... I tried those acupressure bracelets...and gave them a dry run in a friend's BMW as a passenger....and I felt so sick I had to get out and walk.
When crossing Irish Sea twice in one day I got Transderm Scōp!
My doctor said years ago ''People who suffer Migraines are more prone to motion sickness''...Even certain vibrations like an engine idling outside makes me feel nauseated.
🤢 😂
Sophie... You look so beautiful even with those "dorky" glasses. You were born to be a presenter. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures.
Fair winds to ya:-)
Sophie best vlogger test ever . You won the challenge. Unfortunately being totally ridiculous doesn’t prevent from seasickness . Yeah I know it’s a shame. I think that selling them at 299€ will help prevent from seasick a bit longer. Do you wanna try my new product?
Great Video- As a boat owner with occasional guests who succumb, I would have loved to have them don those babies. Plenty of laughs. Maybe that would have helped.. Saved me a few bucks, and gave me some good laughs.
Love the glasses. Reminds me of the 60s song “Judy in Disguise”.
But thank you for the test!! Great video!
Great review. Lots of humour. Those conditions shouldn't make you seasick.
Hello, have you tried putting one earplug? I saw this tip on some videos and I want to get sure of it
The military hospital in Brest (France) studies chronic sea sickness. Lots of professionnal and military captains suffer chronic sea and travel sickness.
These glasses were used just after WW2 . Nothing new, but worh every penny to have a pair on board :)
I'm sorry they didn't work for you. It's to bad you can't return them and get your money back...
They look like they might be good for safety glasses... LOL...
You truly are an awesome young lady. Thanks for a very entertaining video..
Be blessed... BBE..
No too suprizing they don't work for sea sickness since they were design for travel (car) sickness, which is very a very different problem.
For sea sickness the problem is that the (apparent) horizon is moving while our brain thinks it should not. For car thickness, the problem is that your inner ear detects mouvement while the eyes don't give any clue about mouvement if you're reading. So the solution for car sickness is to give back to the eye the same mouvement clues thanks to the little tubes half-filled with liquid.
So, for car travel, those glasses actually work : ruclips.net/video/HZlD_g8GXms/видео.html
Hey François ! Actuallly, the cause of motion sickness is the same in cars and boats (or any vehicle) : it is called kinetosis and results from a mismatch between your vestibular system and your peripheral vision. Even if the motion is quite different on the road and at sea, the solution is to re-synchronize the eyes with the inner ears. And a liquid moving in the peripheral vision is the best way to achieve this because the inner ears also get their perception of inertia from a moving liquid :)
Antoine
2:06 you look like a super villain from a Marvel comic. 😂
Hehehe 😈
you can these seats that move up and down to stabilize the motion. They work great but expensive
Those glasses give you the "Hot Librarian" look.
I spent 3 years at sea with no sickness even in 40 foot waves, my final year, the abs were not as strong and started getting sick when coming out of the engine room. Never have researched Abs & sea sickness, but think there might be a link.
I see myself connection weak ABS (also sickness: IBS and anxiety) and driving vehicle, light sound sensitivity, back neck, head pain... massage tommy area muscles help me for a while... need to improve ABS and see what will happen
I have sickness with all transportation: car, train, flights, ships, the balancing, hammocks,,,, even i have headaches and wanna vomit when i smell the odeur of the car’s ( inside or outside of the car). Heart jumps, nose is changing smelling, all odeurs turn horrible for me at this moment. Juste wanna vomit, can not eat. I can not breath well. After using car or flight, must take at least 3-4 days to recover body’s health. And each vacation is horrible to me, not the pleasure like to others, but i can not stay at home the whole life
I am very to see this video, i can not wait anymore to get this miracle, it changes my life for sure if it works on me also and i can enjoy vacation, travel trips like everybody! Thanks
Good to know
شكراً لك
I felt seasick watching your boat footage. 😬😂
Do they stay on or do they fall off easily as you throw up overboard?
Cure for seasickness.....purchase bottle of wine, remove cork and stuff it in one ear......drinking wine optional! Does it work, dunno cos I'm never seasick!
Oh my, I’m thinking it’s best to stay with chemistry! Pills, patches and every other thing to manage it.
They are efficient for most but have side effects . Even odonsetran (zophren) have heavy ones (heavy headache...).
Spike Milligan once said: “The only sure cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree.”
Oh I know that one! ;) /Sophie
Does it work with flying ?
Have you ever tried the “coastguard cocktail”? Also, does the scop patch work well for you? I’m trying to figure out the best treatment for myself. So far seabands and Dramamine have not worked for me
What is the coastguard cocktail?
You should keep them. They make a fashion statement. They make you look sophisticated and you seem like you are on an even keel. No matter which way you turn your head, you seem level headed. I could see Einstein in these glasses!
Hahaha!!! 😂😂😂 thanks Bob, I’m glad someone else agrees! 🤣 /Sophie
I got sick just watching at 7:13. While I'm glad I can avoid this expensive concept, I wish something so simple would work.
Ooo No Miss Sophie, You bought the glasses with the red liquid. ; ( It turns out the red ones are for blonds! You needed the glasses with the blue liquid!! They are for brunettes. Common mistake! Guess you'll need to give it another go!? Haha!
Hahaha!!! No! They did NOT work at all, and I exposed myself to way too much trouble, hahaha 😂 I’ll stick to scopoderm and will use those seasickness glasses for Halloween next year :p
So do you have a pair of slightly used red glasses for sail.. um sale?
It shouldn’t mater on your hair color?
@@RyanSophieSailing I assume Scopoderm is the same ingredient as Trans
sderm Scōp.... They really do help so much. 🙏
Have you tried the relief band?
These were invented by Citroen! They call them Seetroen. They have been in production for a few years from Citroën...also they have a blue fluid...which helps create the false horizon effect which helps a lot! Check out the original innovators...Citroën!
Thanks Matthew,
We helped Citroën develop their Seetroën Glasses. But the technology is ours. You can even see me in their promotional clip : ruclips.net/video/rjqv8A5mFBA/видео.html ✌️
Antoine
To be of any use, you have to discuss the principle of the glasses and how they are supposed to work. Then determine why they did or did not work.
Now that I have picked myself off the floor (laughing at this episode) there is nothing worse that that awful feeling. A good beer before setting off always helped me. Stay away from the dodger and downstairs. Another great video!!
I read that most of motion sickness actually comes from the rising and falling motion. Not the rolling or pitching. So for that these glasses don't help.
I have an idea for a cure though: A new type of boat. SWATH hull, but with hydraulic struts to compensate for any motion.
They should build a boat with a double hull and put the inside on a gimbal 😆
You should read about the othotech device. It cures motion sickness by sending out a vibration to your cochlear nerve so the brain thinks the signal is noise.
Why does your voice remind me of Celine Dion?
Seetroen also has a pair. Don't know if they're different.
Thank you Sophie! You're so cute. The glasses are a total scam. I would love to actually see the details of their so-called study of effectiveness.
You should try ginger for motion sickness. Ginger cookies and ginger pills helped a friend with sea sickness. When I flying in small aircraft in the summer, I take some ginger ale and ginger snack cookies with me. That seems to work on combatting the motion sickness.
There we go that's three of us that know about ginger. I swear by it. Ginger snap cookies for the umm empty stomach. Only problem is if I find them I'll eat the lot.
Here's a breathing exercise for you to try. Next time under way , as the boat rises to the top of the crest inhale and fill your lungs. As the boat comes down the crest exhale and breath normally. When it rises to the next crest take a deep breath. As long as your lungs are full you won't feel that nausea or that funny feeling in your gut. It will relax you and think of it as Boat Yoga. Be safe.
There are two factors at play when it comes to sea sickness. Psychological and physiological. Psychological is the biggest problem. Anxiety being a big cause. The more sailing you do in the most austere conditions, your sailing anxiety will decrease. Likewise, if you convince yourself you are going to be sick, you will be sick. Remove that negative cognitive link. With regards to the physiological medication can help. Try eating ginger and put one of the small disposable earplugs in just one ear.
The best thing you can do when seasickness is coming on is take three fast shots of rum. It’ll speed up the puking, and then you’ll feel a little strange which will take your mind of the sick feeling.
You need to learn to manage your seasickness, by managing the 4 Fs: Froid: Make sure you don't get cold by wearing proper clothing. Faim. keep your stomach full, but not too full, with proper food (plain pasta for instance) rather than shit food. Fatigue: Prepare your trip by being well rested before the trip (and that means a few days before, not just the night before) . Frousse: (and I think this is where you fail...): if you are scared, or even worried about seasickness, you will get sea sick... so you need to work on that, trying to convince yourself that you will not be seasick... so am sure you have heard "it's all in your head"... well that part is... Once you start feeling bad, the only cure is to sleep under a tree. That being said, I always have a small bottle of coke (coca-cola). Get rid of the gas by shaking it, and slowly sip some... very slowly, like a medicine. The liquid will stabilise your stomach content. Not sure why or how, but after all, Coca Cola was created as a medicine and it works... it does not work with pepsi for some reason...
Ginger. Works every time. Ginger snap cookies are the best but I always eat the whole stash. Sorry, I can't help it.
I see a possible give away item in your future videos. Good video as aways.
And that is why I use the electric Relief Band. (Hint, hint.)
Clinically trialed not just by the maker, but approved by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and found effective against morning sickness.
Maybe it's me but you get much more attractive with those glasses on.
Why don't you try to wear it at the start? May be there will be any different??
May be those glasses only work on ease situation...on bus/ car maybe.
BTW nice review 🙂
My wife and I are planning to do pretty much the exact same thing you and Ryan have done. Maybe a slightly bigger boat for us, but same idea. Is seasickness something that you think could eventually convince you to not like sailing, or is it manageable enough that the great days outweigh the rough seas?
Seasick is something that when started you want to quit the boat right now. It’s very strange how hard it can be , specially on the psychological part.
If you are planning to buy a boat for a long time I will suggest you and your wife/husband rent one for a week and go for sailing the full week. If you have heavy seasickness then have a discuss with your medical doctor. Be aware that some people are really very sensitive and can’t even sail.
@@chrysM34 Thanks for the advice :) As for my part (husband), I was on submarines in the navy many moons ago and dealt with 40-60ft seas coming into Bergen Norway one time. Of the 140-ish people on the boat, two of us didn't get sick. I was one of them. I had advantages like not being on watch so I could go to the lowest deck on centerline and ride it out, but it was still really awful and crazy. Subs don't have traditional keels, just water ballast in a big steel tube with very little to balance out side-to-side motion. Since then, I've gone on about a half dozen sailing and offshore trips and haven't had a problem. My wife is totally new to this whole thing though and we're looking to charter some medium size sailboats for the next few months along with taking the ASA classes, then re-evaluate and make the Big Decision. :)
@@ecliptix5436 I would suggest perhaps getting yourself a smaller coastal cruiser, and seeing how you like traveling in the slow lane... w/sea sickness or without. It will make you a much better sailor than just taking courses and then plunging into a big sea boat. Remember, the smaller the boat, the larger the adventure. Even lakes can be challenging and a lot of fun. IMHO, Lots of submariners seem to find their way to sailboats. Best of luck, swab.
Ginger does the trick every time. Ginger snap cookies are the best unless I find them first.
Dozens of useless videos of random people falling into the "funny glasses" trend and NOT TESTING THEM, and finally ONE good, unbiased video. Thank you!
I need to get a sail boat. It appears they all come from the factory with a beautiful woman.
at least they are pretty
Sophie---seasickness isn't an ocular problem---its is caused by the inner ear--might as well try ear plugs---good luck--keep using the ear patch
So you are not alone with seasickness, Monique on 'Drake paragon' gets sick all the time. You need to find somebody near you, (Monique in in Stornaway , Scotland I think right now), and let them try . Maybe they will work for somebody , then pass on again etc!
Cheers Warren
And what about vestibular rehab?
Negative results are still results and are important.
Sorry to hear
sophie, sophie, sophie! damn you look good in those glasses :-) why not wear them when going shopping, then you wont get sea sick on land :-))
over here in the US there is a program called Myth Busters. anyway, after rigerous testing they determined that products containing ginger were the most effective agains sea sickness, ie, CDN Dry Ginger Ale and tea with ginger in it. give it a try.
My understanding is that they are designed for relief and not prevention?
Oh well, at least those glasses could be used for starting fires or burning ants.
Thompson BMX I’m pretty sure Sophie missed the ‘smoke’ part of the manual. These glasses can’t decently be used without herbs. It’s impossible.
On their website they advertise it for motion sickness in a car. Maybe the one at sea is too much to cure with this technique
They either work or the don't. Try the ear plug in one ear and see if that works.
Sophie, I get so sea sick. I would be vomiting nonstop by now!
i wonder if the genuine citroen ones that these are copied off are better.
To funny Sophie, six eye! You know if you wear glasses. They call you 4 eyes. You can be 6 eyes, lol Laughing with you. hahaha...
Hahaha 😂 6 eyes, that’s right! :)
the race for motion sickness cure :)
Have you tried travel calm ginger tablets. They were the only thing that worked on myth busters..
Ginger snap cookies work the best, I'll swear by them. Unless I find them and eat the lot.
@@greghooper16Am I supposed to eat ginger before I get seasick or when it starts?
We are all that 5% 😂
You must have got there after dark?
Ive been wanting to make a spinning chair Thats what the military uses for pilots to cure motion sickness
I have been trying to get Sophie in the chair for years..
No luck
Couldn’t pay me to wear those
Try blindfold. (This is not joke. Seasickness is caused by visual cues not jibing with inner ear cues. Remove the vision, and the discrepancy is eliminated.)
4:37 Well it sucks these don't work for everyone.
So they are totally useless for their intended purpose ... but you look GREAT !😂
That’s the bottom line indeed 😂😂😂
Sophie you goof ball. Great review! A pity you are the 5% that do not respond to the "treatment". The Sophie boat surfing method worked much better! Fair winds and happy tummys!
Why do you think these glasses are hard to find ? For they don't work
