HEALTHYMODELLIFE Fabric Ballet Stretch Band by Healthy Model Life for Leg Stretching in Dance, Gymnastics, Cheerleading & Ice Skating - Gain Flexibility & Strength w/No Slip Grip

It came very quickly in the mail. I don’t know why I was surprised that it was elastic with a fabric covering, but I was. That being said, very effective for those of all types of flexibility. I use it for a pole class, and when I need it to be a bit more opening, I wrap it around the pole and then hook it to my feet. I really enjoyed this purchase- my only complaint is that it could be a little bit more tight? So like it could be a higher resilience and your legs open more? I don’t know.

I recently picked up dancing again, and am not as flexible as I was before. I've used this band during my stretch routine for a week now, and it's done great! I'm able to get a pull that I normally wouldn't just by using my hands, and there isn't any wear and tear (discoloration/tearing of elastic) that I can see on the band; and I've been pretty brutal with it at times!It comes with a little card telling you how to take care of it so that you get the most out of the product, warning that it can be weakened if stored in the sun, but that's common for most elastics. The material also hasn't given me a rash, and I'm sensitive to latex. Maybe the product won't be so good after a bit, but for right now, I've paid the right price for the right product. I would recommend buying it if you want added help to your stretching, but don't rely completely on it for developing flexibility.

I liked the quality but the product didn’t state rather it was for a young adult, adult or child and having received it- it is a good size for my 9Year old daughter but I can’t imagine a tall adult could use it. However I’m happy with the purchase!

When the product first came in it had a strong smell of rubber and you can see the seams. However once you get over that the band works well and helps increase my flexibility. The band is sturdy and a good value for the price

I'm 5'8 and I'm fairly flexible. Having a band to push myself has really helped my flexibility. I got to a point where I could touch my toes, middle split, etc but it was hard to get any further with just my body/arms. A resistance band really helps to get those oversplits and difficult positions. I've had no problems with the diameter. I use it for middle splits, and yes you do have to really stretch it, but it works and I have never been worried about it snapping or the seam coming undone. Mine is not sticky, but I haven't washed it.

Seems to be well made and couldn’t beat the price. At first I thought it was too short, but I think I was just afraid to fully stretch it (I’m about 5’6). It really helps stretch your legs, especially in straddle. The amount of tension scares me a bit, but I haven’t had any issues with it. Great tool for dancers or anyone wanting to improve their flexibility. Perhaps not for a complete beginner, though.

Love this product, helps you get your splits, needle, and stretching so much easier! It is also great for off-ice skating.

I bought this "ballet band" for stretching exercises recommended to treat low back pain and to improve mobility as well as flexibility. The band is sturdy with a textured surface which makes it easy to grip. The band's tension seems just right for stretching without undue force or strain but enough for a good workout. Just for the record ,I am a 79 yr old male.
