Too flimsy -- several broke on the first use. [SEP] Unfortunately, these aren't well-made. First use, 3 (of 12 that I used) broke. The little black elastic pulled right out of the snap-in top. If the "catch" on the elastic was larger, it probably wouldn't have happened. I'm annoyed simply because I bought it mainly for the larger size, and am down 3 curlers already. Should've gone with a more expensive brand.
