It is really really annoying his eyes at the minute, so I need suggestions.
He hates me putting the bands in. The ones I have at the minute need about 6 twists, but he only puts up with about three twists. So it is always loose, and falls out.

I have also tried baby snap clips, but again, these have fallen out.

I am going to try smaller bands. Been looking at Lainee bands, which I can get here in the UK.

I am thinking 1/4" - would this size be ok? There are some slighty smaller and bigger.

Then there are 3 different weights - light, medium and heavy - which of these is best.

They also do "Show Off" bands.

Here is the website I can purchase from.

HUB International (Mr & Mrs G Urquhart) Latex Bands

Could you also recommend a face comb. Toby has very weeping eyes (probably because I cant get his hair up), so his face is wet a lot of the time, with gunk around his eyes.
I prefer Lainee Ltd bands. Since his hair is so fine and silky I'd go with the light weight, they do less damage to fine hair.....twist 2 or 3 times.
