| What size bands do you use? They have micro, tiny small etc.! I'm overwhelmed. I have some small bands here but not sure what size they are and so I need some help.... What size do you order? I don't mind more than one but I don't want to waste money either on bands that really are too big or too small... can anyone help? Show Leads: Beaded Dog Leads, Resco, Kindness & Beaded Show Leads |

YT 1000 Club Member | Theresa, I would get the small or the medium. I use both . I use the 5/16 one for the initial topknot and I use the 1/4 size for the fan. (that's what I call it)

My experience is the tinier the band the more difficult it is to work with, and the heavier weight as well makes it difficult to work with. You also have light medium and heavy weight bands. I use a medium size light weight band if I'm just banding moustaches or topknot between shows. I use a medium size medium weight band for preparation of show topknot and same for the "fan".

| Oh goodness, it seems like I have every size imagineable in bands now. LOL The ones I like to use the most are the medium size light weight for regular day to day and then the medium size medium weight band for shows. It seems as if the light weight are less damaging. I order all of mine form laineeltd as welll. http://www.laineeltd.com/cgi-bin/lai...diumbands.html The band removal scissors are great too

| Thanks everyone! I'll be swimming in bands now! I mostly wanted them for doing topknots but I guess I should have some for wrapping when the time comes. Goodness knows, I'll probably be placing another order as I never seem to have enough supplies! When I finally have just what I want, they come out with something new! |
