Good bands in a cute pouch [SEP] Update: They did start breaking. Maybe they've oxidized? Either way they break constantly, even though I'm not even reusing them (I can't reuse them--they break before one full use). I have to carry several with me because they snap after a few hours.<br /><br />Original review:<br />These bands are really stretchy and easy to put on. They stretch enough that you can actually get your fingers in to make a ponytail. I haven't had any break yet but they do stretch out and get 2-3 times as big once you've used them. I do expect them to break after a few uses but I usually lose them after one use anyway. They aren't as resilient as the regular little black bands from the grocery store, and they pull my hair a tiny bit more but they also stay in better. They come in a cute little zipper bag with a slider which is so nice. Every single time I buy loose bands I end up losing most of them because the container they come in is useless. This one is easy to open and close so I actually close it when I'm done using it.
