Glow bracelets are just one of the many glow products you can now buy. Originally glow items were restricted to glow sticks themselves – the original and still popular trend-setter – and a couple of other items like glowing necklaces and wands. These were waved at after-dark events such as music concerts, and gave rise to the term ‘glowsticking’. (In some cases, glow sticks are attached to strings so that they can be swung around the body in shapes, from the basic figure-of-eight to more complicated designs – much in the same way that you can ‘write’ in the air with a sparkler.) All of this heralded a move towards using glow stick wands, necklaces and other items like glow bracelets increasingly as a form of body art and personal expression. Now, sites cater for virtually every glow desire imaginable, and there is a whole culture built around glowsticking.

The glow bracelets work just the same way that regular glow sticks do: snap the little glass vial inside and shake them, and the contents inside will mix and produce the chemical reaction that releases the characteristic glow (chemiluminescence is the technical term). You can buy different colours of bracelet, which are filled with different dyes that react differently to the energy released from the reaction. Glow bracelets are typically very cheap – you can buy them for far less than a glow stick or a necklace. From a good site and at bulk prices, you can buy six-inch glow sticks for £1 a time (or £1.50 for huge ‘concert-grade’ sticks), 30p for a necklace and just 10p for a glow stick bracelet. This means that they are a really cheap accessory to add to your other glow in the dark paraphernalia.

There is a profusion of glow equipment out there, as you’ll find from even a brief web search. Competition means that most of it is extremely well priced. However, glow bracelets can often be the forgotten member of this list. They are small and understated bits of jewellery that nevertheless shine just as brightly as the more garish items. If you’re looking for a neat little way of shining in the dark without going for the Christmas tree effect, then you might consider investing in a few of these (there’s no reason not to buy in bulk, since it’s cheaper and they have a two-year shelf life, meaning you’ll have plenty of opportunity to use them in the months to come).

If a glow bracelet isn’t enough, then you’ll find plenty to satisfy your interest. Much of it is along the same lines as the necklace and bracelet approach, like various shapes that have been formed out of the long, flexible tubing that makes up simpler items. However, if you’re looking to make a real splash, them you could look into some of the newer and more impressive developments in the field, which include glow in the dark make up and body paint. As with the bracelets, the best approach with these can be the minimalist, using them to pick out features or create understated designs. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you have to hold back; you can use the body paint to create a glowing under-layer on which to paint other characters and features.

Glow bracelets are a great addition to other glow items, but they work well on their own too. Often the best effect can be created by picking out features rather than plastering on loads of different products – unless you are actually decorating a Christmas tree, of course!
