Would be a waste!! They are intended for cooking - hold up on grilled or roasted poultry, roasts. Can go in dishwasher and reused. Wonderful and durable but certainly wasted as rubber bands!!

You can definitely use these bands as rubber bands. They are a bit thicker and sturdier than the ordinary rubber bands. They seem to be indestructible and last indefinitely.

These are wonderful cooking bands. They can be reusable if washed completely. Rubber bands are more stretchy, inexpensive and not to be used with food products.

That is the main thing I use them for. There are items I band and re-band all the time, and these outlast rubber bands I've used many times over. I got them for this originally. Also, they do not deteriorate in the garage or attic here in Florida--it doesn't quite get over 500 F. there! Extension cords of all kinds, even computer related cords & cables. I run thru aboit 2 per year.

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.

Yes, sometimes. Clean any buildup and replace rubber bands...should be good to go.

No......You can cut the band, and replace with a new one.......But they are single use.

Yes they can, pretty sturdy so they can be reused until they crack or get a hole, which doesn't happen easily. Like a rubber band, they will crack with time though.

Yes you can! The rings attach individually so you can put them on in any formation you need!

Yes you can, as long as you are not a restless sleeper. They are a bit cumbersome and can make your legs sweat.

Hello Susan,These are exactly like mini-bands. My physician and the hospital physical therapist recommended these after my shoulder replacement. If you do a search of mini-band exercises online, you will see the types of exercises you can perform. Good Luck.

No, if kept very well it shouldnt be a problem, just dont force the rubber bands to streth to hard.

Yes. The band is elastic so many sizes could be used. I love mine and get asked about it a lot.

No- these are tiny little rubber bands for making bracelets on a tiny loom.

Yes you can. But I had purchased it only for the metal part. I changed the bands and the pouch. The original bands and pouch are low quality

Sorry, no. I never used mine and have lost them. My suggestion would be to try tying knots in the band.

I have only purchased these for others, don't own one myself. There is a lot of stretch to the bands, so I would measure the device and see if it looks like it would fit into one of the banded areas. Sorry I can't answer your question directly - I do know that this was a huge hit for all my boys from a corporate guy, to a musician, to a police officer.

YES - But I'm not a fan of the Quality of these bands. Probably would not purchase them again.

The band on these are pretty short.So my guess would be no. My friend has some that have a longer band but these are not those. I will see of he remembers which ones he purchased. I'll post when he let's me know

I never have personally, but yes you could. They're rubber, so they're water proof.

They can be used. But these particular ones do not work very well. I wouldn't recommend them.
