The top part is not stretchy but it is attached to elastic that goes underneath the hair.

They are soft with elastic in the back. However they are stiff on the design part and I have avoided wearing them when I know I will sweat such as running. I think sweat will stain them and they do not seem like they would absorb. I am a nurse and wear them to work with my hair in a ponytail.

The glitter part doesn't stretch but the black elastic part in the back does

there is the elastic in the back and the part with the glitter is more like a thin canvas type material. there is nothing sharp or abrasive to the material. having 4 girls that play sports I would think they would be suitable for volleyball...and they are really cute:)

I bought them for my sister since she also plays volleyball, although I've yet to see her wear one to a game. The bottom is a stretch material. The top isn't really hard but the material is different than the bottom so I'm not sure if they would be allowed to wear them. I can ask my sister and follow up with you. Until then I hope this helps.

Yes! They are made of a soft stretchy material. I bought them for my team and they are allowed to play with them on.

Can you wear these in a pool? Yes. Should you? No. They are soft neoprene, which is why they are so comfortable. I'm guessing that the stitching would give way pretty quickly if there were submerged several times. Do a search on Amazon for "pool exercise equipment" (no quotes). You'll find a wide range of stuff that provides resistance while in the water.

They appear to be plastic, but they are actually a kind of soft vinyl and stuffed with filler. So they were kind of soft.

I wouldn't use them--they'll fall apart too quickly. Get some of the clear hairbands instead. They're about the same size and are made to stretch repeatedly.

No; they are not that flexible. They're made of a hard plastic that has a little "give", but only a very little.

They are soft. The ones we bought broke within 2 weeks. Disappointing to say the least.

No they are not, the best ones to buy if you want soft ones are the Brach's!

Very, they are stretchable as well. If you are a skinny person, you might have to tie it to shorten it so it stays tight.

These are a harder plastic type. I would not recommend them for that purpose and choose to go with a more traditional ping pong ball material.

pretty flexible yes. They are relatively elastic however a 1" dia. might be pushing it. That will take some work. I think you may be able to do it but I am not for certain.

Yes, they stretch very well. You will occasionalyy come across one that is broke or has a thin spot.

They're more of a stronger material so it's very hard to get pulls in them. One would have to try quite hard to accomplish this. I'd suggest ordering 1 size up than what one wiuld normally wear as it doesn't offer much of a stretch.

Being vinyl, there is not really any stretch. They work for me as the large was the perfect size. They are thicker than some other food prep gloves I have gotten. I like this as don't break. I am only using them for home cleaning & cooking though. At work, I'm a nurse, we use nitrile gloves which are more expensive but slight bit of stretch & better for dexterity.

They are soft, but I would describe them as flexible. They are made of silicone so they are very durable.

For gloves made of silicone they are flexible. I am able to hold the thong with my gloves on

My son and several teammates and opposing players use them for basketball and like them. As for older players I can only surmise the compression helps stabilize the knee. I wear compression sleeves myself on my knees every night and these seem of similar quality. Hope that helps
