History of Wristbands
Wristbands have been used as both decorative and functional bands worn around the wrist for a long time, and have served a variety of purposes over the years. Some originated for identification or authorization purposes, while others were used during sports as a tool for wiping sweat away or preventing it from running down the arms. These sporting wristbands were usually made of terrycloth material. The silicone wristbands we produce here, though, gained popularity in the early to mid 2000s, and were initially worn to demonstrate support of a certain cause or charitable organization. These bands are still popularly used for these reasons, and all kinds of designs are available for purchase here on the site.
One of the reasons such bands became popular was through the “LIVESTRONG” wristbands which became synonymous with Lance Armstrong’s fight with testicular cancer. The bands are a great motivational symbol and help people stand behind a cause, and they have now been adopted by various charities and similar organizations thanks to their simplicity and effectiveness. Nowadays the uses of these silicone wristbands are numerous - whether as identification in theme parks and sporting venues, or just to express a personal message.
Types of Wristbands
There are several types of wristbands around, and you can be sure we’ve got them at Amazing Wristbands. Wristbands are similar to bracelets, as they are also worn encircling the wrist, but while the term “bracelet” usually refers to fine or fashion jewelry, wristbands are far more versatile and can be worn by either sex, and by people of all ages. Our silicone wristbands are stretchy, smooth and colorful, and can be worn in the same way as a bracelet. They are also easy to clean and have great longevity. Wear them one at a time or group them all together - the choice is yours.
There are various different colors of wristband available too, which have come to signify different things such as a school’s colors, the colors found in a company logo or a variety of causes. Some of these include:
- Red - AIDS and HIV, heart disease and various other medical conditions
- Orange - Hunger, cultural diversity, animals
- Yellow - LIVESTRONG, US troops, suicide prevention, adoption
- Green - Environmental issues, organ donation
- Black - Mourning a loss, euthanasia
- White - Poverty, peace and anti-terrorism
