9 Road Trip Essentials | Saying Goodbye to Motion Sickness
The Grand Canyon. A vast space of beautiful wonder, filled with adventure, exploration and memories.
Isn’t this picture breathtaking? My boys just got back from a wonderful trip to the West Coast and guess what was the first thing that they told me when they got back. “Mom, we are so glad you weren’t there. You would have been so car sick.” Ugh, motion sickness, the bane of my existence. I don’t want to be labeled as the “car sick parent” anymore. So today, I’m sharing my 9 Road Trip Essentials for the Motion Sickness Prone Adult, and how I’m finally saying goodbye to motion sickness.
53% of women miss out on road trips due to motion sickness. I’m raising my hand to that statistic. I’ve missed out on so many amazing road trips with my family, all due to motion sickness. It’s a horrible stigma to have. And I don’t just get sick. I get beyond green, held up by a tree, and holding my hair back in the bushes sick. And I’m the one driving. Winding roads, mountain elevations, even bends in our Florida roads make me sick. And the one thing I would love to do on car road trip? Read. I’ve yet to be able to read a book on a long drive.
I took Dramamine often for our long road trips. It was my motion sickness best friend. But even the lesser drowsy pills would make me so tired. I would still miss important road trip moments. So when I heard about the new Dramamine Non-Drowsy Naturals, I was 100% on board. The power of Dramamine plus the non-sleepy effects I wanted? I couldn’t have asked for better. AND, the new Dramamine Non-Drowsy Naturals provides so much more:
- It’s the FIRST Non-Drowsy product from Dramamine
- Contains the full clinically tested ginger dosage demonstrated to relive and prevent nausea and vomiting related to motion
- Provides fast relief for Nausea and Vomiting, the most common symptoms of motion sickness
- Also prevents nausea, dizziness, vomiting and queasiness
- Safe to use everyday, since it’s made from natural ginger
- Available in a 129count travel via or 369count box
Dramamine Non-Drowsy Naturals should be taken at least 30 minutes before starting an activity or as soon as you experience symptoms to help prevent or relieve the nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness. Safe to use on children and adults ages 6 years and up. Check out this YouTube video to see how new Dramamine Non-Drowsy Naturals provides traveling relief for you!
I just take 2 pills before we head out for our summer adventures, and I can have full motion sickness relief all day. The best part? Since it’s all natural, I’m not drowsy or missing out on any important family memories, like our recent road trip to a secluded hiking area! All of those twists and turns in the road didn’t stop us from a full afternoon of exploring!

I will tell my husband about this. He gets wicked motion sickness.
I have a friend who keeps Dramamine in her purse all the time. She gets motion sickness if a movie scene moves too fast.
These are all great road trip essentials. I will have to pick up some Dramamine for my son.
I always rely on Dramamine during road trips. I need to get some of this.
Road sickness is no fun. Driving out in the vast natural requires roads of curves. Nothing can be laid straight on nature. Enjoy the summer.
I tend to get motion sickness while reading in the car. This would definitely help me out.
We don’t have drammamene here we have Gravol but I’ve heard of this before. I stuggle so bad with motion sickness, so this would be perfect for me!
I generally always pack the Dramamine when we travel. We don’t usually have trouble with motion sickness, but I want to be prepared if the situation arises.
We use it. So great to have. I used it first time on a cruise.
My oldest gets car sick quite easily so Dramamine is a staple for all of our road trips and adventures. I can not wait for her to give this new natural formula a try!
I use it personally for anything water-travel related. But the Hubs uses it when he is commuting on buses to work – he gets bad motion sickness!
I get motion sickness so i love Dramamine
While we were growing up, we used to give my Sister Dramamine because she got car sick. I wish it had been a non-drowsy formula because she missed out on quite a bit. Although, she can use it today. I’ll for sure let her know about it. Thank-you!
It is great that Dramamine is non drowsy now! This is such a necessary product when traveling!
I will have to remember to grab some of this when I get to the store. It will be a necessity when we are driving around this summer!
Dramamine is the best stuff I have ever tried
We have this product in our 1st aide kit for years.
Thank God nobody in my family including my grandchildren have motion sickness but a couple of my friend’s grandchildren do and they have to take meds for it when we take road trips with them to amusement parks or shopping. Thank goodness they came up with something for the people who do need this type of med.
I get motion sickness when traveling sometimes, and this would be really great for me. I’ll have to check it out!
I love that there is ginger in these! I wonder if they’re safe for pregnant women?
Thankfully nobody in our family gets motion-sickness but your 9 trip essentials are great for any traveler and we love road trips.
Your travel essentials sound like mine! There’s nothing worse than motion sickness feeling.
We frequently travel to visit family, and it definitely pays to be prepared during the drive!
Thanks for this post! We have a road trip in a few weeks and I will be stocking up!
What a great list! Thankfully none of us get motion sickness! We might take a small road trip this summer before baby girl arrives!
I need this for my son
Great ideas to pack for a road trip. Thanks for the post.
