I ordered a set of these bands last year and I love them! They were becoming too stretched out to be effective so I decided to order a new batch. But something has changed. The new bands came in a different material bag (whatever, no big deal) and the bands themselves feel much more slippery. I tried using them for the first time and the red band kept slipping down my thighs when previously that never happened. If anything they would roll and that was more of a user error. I am really disappointed because these bands were perfect.

Great range of resistance and pretty colours, however they roll up my legs so easily. Once I get it in place they seem to stay, however it's very frustrating trying to get it in place. If these had been thicker in width, they would have been perfect.

If you were looking to loop these over your shoulders to increase pushup difficulty , or to do leg extensions, or other shoulder range of motion exercises they are just not long enough. As noted in other reviews they somewhat stick to themselves and are difficult to grip. I though of chaining a few together , but I believe once looped you would have a very very difficult time to unhook them . Not a bad price, but not quite heavy duty enough for me.

I love the little bag that comes with them, and these are the first bands I’ve ever used, so maybe they all do this? BUT these bands roll up soooo easy, and when you take them off they stay rolled up!! The rubber sticks to itself so it’s a process to get them straight again. I’m using them for 80 day obsession and in that program you DON’T have time to play with your bands just to get them straight again, and then try to keep them straight while your wearing them. Like I said, I’ve never tried other bands, but I will be trying different ones.

I don’t like how the bands roll up on my legs while I’m using them.

So far these bands work great. Not sure how long they will last, but for the price I can always buy another set. Modified Review - These didn't last long at all before breaking. A bit disappointed.

I like how easy they are to use however the durability isn’t the best. I guess I was using super light one a bit more than the others. However this one in particular didn’t last three months.

They’re unusable because they roll up.

Right off the bat, all I can say is that the smell is just awful. These have a VERY strong odor of rubber that I, personally, cannot stand. I tried washing them to no avail. The smell would even linger on me after using them. To help the air-out process I stored them out of the bag on a window ledge. Not sure if it was the sun exposure, but one day I went to use one and it just snapped. Grabbed another and it did the same thing. Even the heaviest one snapped when my boyfriend stretched it. I gave it two stars instead of one since they worked fine until they broke. But overall, no good.

I was disappointed by this product. I have purchased bands similar to this before but with Lower resistance. Was looking for new ones with the heavier resistance. Unfortunately these are very slippery and I can’t get enough traction for them to stay put when I do my foot exercises. I have to double up with my old ones to make them work. Don’t buy!!
