How is this different than just using a rubber band or pony tail band?

You'd have to put the pastry bag filled with frosting through a regular rubber band and then twist the rubber band and pull the bag with frosting in it through again to keep it tight, which would be messy and kind of hard to do. This thing lets you wrap the rubber band around the top of the frosting in the bag, and then the little arrow thing hooks onto the loop you've created. Hard to describe. They work great, though!

This band wraps around the bag - you do not pull the bag through it like a ponytail. The tie is like a 'hook & anchor'

there is no need for a rubber band. the plastic molds itself around the device and fits very well. it is very comfortable

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

A hair band does the trick. It doesn't stay together when folded, but this is actually a benefit because if you just give it a little shake it'll snap into place with minimal effort.

I bought regular hair bands, the ones for ponytails. They are tighter and work like a charm :)

The rubber bands are very easy to replace: just put them on the vertical support pieces (the ones with the pegs and the half-moon shaped cutout that rests on one of the dowels to keep the rack in the upright position). There's a pair of short (about 4" long) wooden pieces on the dowel that the vertical supports rest on - each serves as a "lock" to keep the vertical supports in place - rotate each one and fit it to the peg on the vertical support, then slide the rubber band over the two pieces. It'll still work fine without the rubber bands, but if you sometimes move the racks while they're set up, the rubber bands ensure that one or both of the supports don't come undone during this process (as someone who will occasionally load up my racks in the living room and then carry them out onto the back patio, I appreciate this feature as I have on occasion moved a rack with a missing rubber band and had that side collapse when I set the rack down - not a major inconvenience but nice to have the rubber bands to prevent it)

I don't think it's a good use of them, but you could. They are really thick so they're not as stretchy as a rubber band.

well... they sent a free little circular ring which slips over the band and the prongs slip through the ring and into the band itself. it makes the band a little more bulky, but my band has not fallen off since I out the part on. On the other hand, I never take the bank off at all because it is so hard to get it realigned when trying to get it back on.

It depends how close you are and what kind of rubber bands you use. It doesn't feel good but it doesn't hurt terrible when you are at a reasonable distance. Obviously if you are close it is going to hurt. At the end of the day, it's a rubber band, it won't kill you.

They did have other options. If I recall it was using bands. Having one of those circular stretchy wide bands and some bands with handles are used.

Not sure about your problem exactly, but I do know that these bands are not made very well at all. Mine lasted one day, so I'll bet this is a pretty common problem with it stretching out of shape.

I have to agree with Richard A. and Kathleen C. (see their responses below). I've not used my wrist band because I've been using the chest harness.It's especially good when riding my horse on trails.

Instead of metal springs it has safe wide elastic bands to where the kids don't get hurt. That is the main reason I have bought 3 now. One for each of my granddaughters. It holds up to 140lbs so they will be able to use it for years to come.

None. It is just an organizer. Does not come with rubber bands. You have to buy them separately.

Not sure what to tell u since we tied the bands on using a self-tightening knot. U can find the knot on YouTube. Good luck.

If you look at the pic you can see that it has three separate rubber pieces for month-day-year. You can actually cut the band with the year off easily with a razor blade. You could have one made at office max, but they are much more expensive than this one.

The band is stiff material and has no elasticity unlike my current one I use. I have some swing in my arms when I run and do not believe it will stay in place. My current band fits snug but with the elastic material does not restrict blood flow in arm. Since the band I purchased is stiff and short I will just return and not try it. The material is smooth neoprene on the inside so it may not stay in place I cannot determine that without wearing it.
