I needed rubber bands that were not too large or broad but stong enough to keep small plastic storage containers closed. The bands had to be supple enough to be taken off of the containers and put back on quite often. This band was the perfect size and suppleness to be exactly what I wanted. The seem to be sturdy enough to withstand frequent pulling off and putting back on. I'm sure that over time I will find other uses for them as well.
