I got mine today in the mail, and was wondering what the little blue & white rubber bands are for??

Just a guess: I think they're used as the company's signature reminder that the product improves the elasticity and tightness of the face. I'm just making that up tho, so you might want to ask the company. Meanwhile, I've found these rubber bands useful from time to time.

They're just for show lol. They're to show how the skin "snaps back" like a rubber band, when you use Ethocyn. :)

They're for nothing. Just cut the tip of the vial really close to the top, so the drops that come out are very small. A little goes a long way. Ive used this product for 5 years, and I throw them in the garbage.

I always use those when travelling to keep the lid on. Not sure that there's a real point to them otherwise.

The description is 'elastic bands' so I can't say for sure they're rubber - but they are not covered and do look like rubber bands - I use them to hold trash bags in my 33 gallon trash cans. As others have said, they do work great and are indeed reusable. I have "covered bands" and they work well - have no compunction in using these elastic bands in their place. And they cost less!! Hope this and the other comments help you decide

The pulleys are ropes on little wheels. I was a little disappointed because I was looking for something that is made of rubber and stretches and I thou pulleys were it but it wasn't. Plus it doesn't come with instructions. I bought the wrong product which was my fault. Later I found out what I was really looking for are Resistance Bands. I just didn't know at the time, that is what they are called. So I went on Amazon.com and ordered the ProSource Resistance bands and there are a few of them in the pack with different resistances. They are made of rubber hoses that stretch. I've been very satisfied with them. Exactly what I was looking for. The pulleys are ropes on little wheels.

Those are those small rubber bands, right? Yes, it should hold those without any problem.

Those rubber bands are just a simple O-rings with tabs. You do not have to have those tabs. Go to Autozone and pick up some O-ring kits of different sizes and thicknesses.

I tossed mine before I realized that it actually had a useful function, which of course was not explained in the goofy manual. The band is a retainer for the power cord. There are tabs on the legs of the underside of the unit which hold the cord when it is wrapped around the legs. The mysterious black band is used to then wrap around the cord to hold it in place for storage.

Better to contact Wilson directly, they are very helpful. I do know that they are made for specific band widths.

Yes, they snap like a twig under normal usage because the band is all plastic. I personally experienced this. The comments are true.

There's a small piece that come out of the band by the that little round thing. You pull it to make it tighter.

It must not be what they were expecting to get. We have ordered this twice. The first time we got 2 cases which I was really happy about, and we really liked them. When I saw how many bands my daughter got for Christmas we needed more storage so I ordered this again. However the second order was only 1 case. I contacted Amazon and they helped me but after my experience I'm guessing that some people are getting a different product than they expect and aren't happy about it. Hope this helps!

I got everything except the added resistance bands. I really don't use them, so it was an issue for me.

I actually didn't buy the bands. I bought the package of little metal clasps by WoCase, for the wristbands. I can tell you that those clasps work just fine with the Fitbit bands. I like the many colors. I'd love to order the colored bands, but the colors I want are only offered in size Large. I need the Small.

I also haven't had a problem, neither with breakage nor stretching, and I use the colored bands exclusively. My original band is green, but I've been using the navy blue band as my go-to for a few months now. I think it's probably worth the expense of getting a new band and perhaps with each battery charge switching bands to give each a chance to rest between uses. Just a thought....

They cannot be purchased. I contacted Beachbody directly, and confirmed that they do not sell the bands separately. My guess is that replacement bands would constitute 75% of the cost of full replacement, so it's not worth it to them. It's too bad, since they're made to be replaced.

Definitely....I don't know of a sturdier rubber band. They do not overstretch to the point of breaking like a normal band. The colors are pretty, too.

They're just normal rubber bands. They seem to keep the rack tight when it's set up. would be easy to replace.
