They are good quality! They don't break easy, but some are tight others are.stretchy.

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

I believe they would last until the elasticity in the band becomes too weak to apply enough pressure. I have not had any wear out yet.

Yes, I used them for a month and a half. I thought they would be more substantial but, they were quite thin and wimpy. I don' know why you need to order a second pair. They are made of a thin plastic rubber band type of material. Despite the use of questionable material and strength, they are not not going to wear out quickly.

My orange band broke only after wearing it 5 times. It broke where the plastic and rubber meet. I only use the colored bands occasionally. Have had no problems with wearing the black band and or inserting the tracker. I have had my Fitbit for 6 months.

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....

yes, but be careful, I have two and broke one. try wiggling it carefully to separate. I am having trouble with the bands disintegrating too

I have 5 kids that used them and they did not break easily. Yes, a few of them ended up broken, but overall they're fairly thick and don't break easily.

I, too, have trouble with the bands. I think I need to lower my evaluation stars on the product. Not only do the bands come off, they split. I'm sorry I can't help you.

Hey Martha...I use them everyday w multiple clients and they have kept up their tension thus far. I've purchased bands in the past and these so far have been the best I've worked with. Hope this helps

The bands are not very long. They are about a foot long and circular. They are great bands. They are very hardy, not flimsy at all! They have held up well and not broken yet. They are used daily by my teen for physical therapy. I a very impressed by how they are holding up.

Yes, they break very easy. they have a score mark that helps break them. They don't always break exactly in half, but close.

Yes, they are good quality. I have been using them for almost 2 months and they haven't fall out.

We've had one cord snap in the 13 months we've owned ours, (constant use by my autistic son). Unlike the metal springs that fly off and can hurt, the band stayed attached to the plastic anchor after breaking. Jumping is not noticeably affected by the broken band as there are 29 others.

I did not use mine in water. I don't see how water use would cause the bands to weaken or break. However, these bands are very smooth and thin; so they would likely be slippery if used in the water.

If you are asking are they "Rainbow Loom Brand Bands" no they are not BUT I personally like them better. They don't break as easily, I think the colors are richer and a lot nicer and would buy these again over buying the Rainbow Loom Brand Bands any day. I think the price was good also even taking into consideration the shipping because by where I live the Rainbow Loom Bands work out to be MORE expensive. I would recommend these.

Yes the band is sturdy; however with daily use the elastic band will start to wear.
