By: Kurt Schmitt..
You may know by now that magnetic bracelets are used primarily for pain all up and down the arm. You probably also know that golfers and arthritis sufferers wear them, and some people wear them as a preventative measure.
You probably also know some of the benefits claimed by those who wear magnetic bracelets. What you may not understand are the differences between the various types offered for sale. In this article I'll discuss some of the main types of bracelets so you'll know what to look for.
Although bracelets are made in different ways, there are a few different major styles based on construction. When shopping for bracelets, here are the main types you'll be looking at.
Magnetic bracelets can be made as singles, doubles, triples, or as a magnetic wraps.
Singles - Single bracelets are a single strand of bead, strung on some type of line. They can be made of either all magnetic beads, or a combination of magnetic beads with accent beads of some kind. They can be either the stretchy type, or be non-stretchy with a magnetic clasp.
Doubles - Doubles are two strands of beads, non-stretchy type, with a magnetic clasp. Doubles allow for up to twice the magnets as singles which can provide for stronger therapy.
Triples - Triple bracelets are made with three strands of beads and a magnetic clasp. They may have up to three times the number of magnets as a single.
Lariats - Magnetic lariats are also called magnetic wraps or snakes, and can be used as a necklace or an anklet as well. Although varying sizes are available, they are typically 36 or 37 inches long. Instead of a clasp, they simply wrap around your arm, your neck, or your ankle, and use the magnets to hold together. Lariats are popular because of their unique look, and their versatility and strength.
Now that you're familiar with the basic types, you can better make your choice. Style and attractiveness are secondary to the therapy properties, unless you're buying strictly for fashion.
One more thought: when choosing magnetic bracelets, you want the strongest therapy advantages for pain relief that you can find. That means selecting the one with the largest number of strong magnets.
