do the bands brake easy

No they seem to be pretty strong. I haven't had any problems. Hope this helps.

No not really. According to my grand-daughter, some bands may be already broken, but.. the bands do not break when you are using them.

Yes. I love these bands and would not be afraid to recommend them. They are durable and soft. No order to them. I don't recall a single broken band. I personally will purchase them again when needing a refill of these colors.

Not sure, but these work really well. My daughter recently went to an amusement park and we thought that it would not go well. She wore the band all day and had a terrific time!

I got the beats for my sister and she takes really good care of them so I can't really say that they break easily because they haven't. But the way they are made and what they are made of I would not be surprise for them to break easily.

I'm not sure. The bands were a present for my girlfriend, she loves to varying tensions, had bands from physical therapy but they were nowhere near as good!

no, but I had never had this problem with this type of band before. The official rainbow loom bands are round with no flat edge (much stronger). These are flat with an edge and you can see where they were separated from other bands - a little chunk in the band. This weakens them and they break when stretched.

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.

the bands that are actually true silicone don't break like the rubber ones do. Unfortunately these bands are just plain rubber that do not last. I am wearing a bracelet my son made me over 4 months ago from the bands that came with the loom they were real silicone bands that show no wear at all.

Hey Victoria: My son broke his band too probably by tugging too hard when taking the watch off. I'm gonna write to the company now to see if replacement bands are available. Please post if you found another band. Thanks, John

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

no, the band is some sort of woven material, like a ribbon. it's thick, stiff and the padding is too hard. the band itself is not wide enough per my Physical Therapist's opinion.

With this new formula, go with the heavier blue or black band. The lighter ones are more slippery than the heavier bands. Also the heavier bands don't break as easily

Unfortunately, the answer to your question is "No." I would have paid a few dollars more to get a guide with the bands. There are plenty of sites on line that offer great instructions and diagrams of how to use the bands.

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.

Yes they do fit. These were added to the other bands so not sure about the exact weight rating.
