Life
In the summer months, it doesn't get much better than spending time outdoors with friends and family. Going camping, swimming, and star gazing are the absolute best once school lets out, especially if you've got some good company. But the warmer months also bring on some not-so-good company — like gnats, ticks and mosquitos. And with insect-borne diseases spreading around (ew), it's time to take action. There are actually some mosquito repellant wearables that can make it easy for you to actually enjoy the outdoors this summer.
Swatting off bugs is no fun, but coating yourself in smelly bug spray isn't fun either. I mean, what's in that stuff anyway, and should we really be putting it on our skin? Thanks to these wearable products, we won't have to. These days, companies are making all kinds of insect repellent products that won't smell up our clothes and irritate our skin. Seriously, you can even find mosquito repellent clothing and clip-ons that actually work and don't require you to put anything on your skin or force you to breathe in citronella candle smoke. All these products skip the DEET and opt for a more natural formula so you're not surrounding yourself with unnecessary toxins. You'll definitely be able to find the best one for you and your family on this list, including your pet.
