Compared to other no-name brands, they last longer. I consider these ideal for those of us with a lot of hair, like me!

Supposedly, this particular model is aimed at those who are involved in sports. I will add that it is also aimed at women with thick and heavy hair, like myself. The basic model opened on the fifth try and then I struggled with lukewarm water to get it back on. Okay, everything needs replacement at some point. You don't buy it for a lifetime. Nevertheless, this one keeps my hair much more secure and for a longer period of time.

These rubber bands are very nice. Indeed, they do not break the hair. The only negative thing is that they open too much.
