40pcs Silicone Rubber Bands Colorful Elastic Rubber Wrapping Bands Assorted Color Rubber Bands for Books,Exercise,Wallet Card,Cooking Boxes Wraps,Office Supplies(3 Sizes,Random Color)

Silicone bands are the best value over rubber, by far! Unlike latex rubber bands, which break down and fail (crumble) due to the rubber polymer crystallizing when exposed to oxygen (especially ozone), ultraviolet light and/or heat, while silicone is largely unfazed by these common environmental issues. This 40 piece set includes useful sizes - 3" x 0.2" (15 pcs), 5.5" x 0.4" (15 pcs), 8" x 0.4" (10 pcs). All of them stretch to over 2.5 times their relaxed length. the silicone bands cost 3 to 4 times latex bands but last up to 10 times longer. What's not to like?

Something that I didn't know existed until I needed to order rubber bands (which dry out and snap). These are very cost-effective and longer lasting alternative to conventional rubber bands. They come in a variety of colors and sizes so very pleased with this purchase!

It is the first time trying these. I like the sizes for the most part but a few thinner options would be nice. A few things to note. They will not stretch as much as a real rubber band. The goal of these are to be able to use when i bundle long term Christmas stuff. All my rubber bands dry out and break so I hope that these will work better. Based on my understanding of silicon this should be the case.

I am willing to pay a little extra for rubber bands that are large and sturdy enough to do the job. It is high praise for me to say these don't annoy me. They don't break when I'm putting them around something. They don't get brittle and fragile after a couple weeks. They're not so narrow they incise a line in what they're strung around. I find a dozen of these fellows do more useful work than a bag of a hundred mixed- (mostly tiny-) size rubber threads that serve no functiion at all. They also come in pretty colors.

I live in a desert region and rubber bands break constantly. I’ve been happy with these, despite how much more expensive they are than rubber bands. At least they don’t disintegrate or break when I use them.

These should be worth the extra cost by note just disintegrating like regular rubber bands do. They have a good amount of stretch and enough size choices.

These silicone bands work great for a range of things. There is a nice range of sizes and colors. I use them to hold my plaster molds together. I have also used them for holding binders and folders together. I would say they pass the durability test because I have yet to break one. They are kind of a medium thickness (a little thicker than a standard thick rubber band). The silicone seems to be pretty durable compared to traditional rubber bands which save a lot of money for me in the long run. I would buy them again. I can't really ask for anything more.

Durable and stretchy. This set worked well for my many board game boxes. The silicone seems to be gentle on the boxes than ordinary rubber bands.
