I use both the small and the meduim and yes, all clear. I use the small ones on the dogs that have super fine hair and the meduim on the ones with thicker hair. The smaller ones are a little hard to get my fingers in. I think I got five hundred for 6 or 7 dollars. i go thru fifteen or twenty per show. They also have the band sicissors at that site. If the show topknot isn't correct, you have to keep doing it till you get it right and you have to cut the bands out so you use a lot of them.

I prefer the 1/4" bands, but most of my customers seem to prefer the 5/16".

Band removal scissors are a must have! I just started carrying them and they have been really popular. I couldn't live with mine.

I get it for shows and such, but why not just use bands you don't have to cut out? I love the resuable covered ones. Sure I find them all over my house but at least they aren't taking her hair with them.

They stay in unless she rubs her head on something to intentionally get it out and that would happen with any band.

i also love the covered bands...i bought them in the baby section at walmart and they were less than $3 (for a variety of like 6 colors) ... all the latex ones i tried before pulled and broke miss buffeys hair out but she leaves these alone and they do not pull or damage her hair

I like the covered stretchy ones too but I found my my Max eating them! (2) His and Mia's!!! - so that's no longer an option for me. I've been using Des' but those are starting to come out on their own so I'm going to try the clear non-latex in a smaller size.
