Sweaty Bands Review & Giveaway

i've visible those cute headbands referred to as Sweaty Bands at race expos, and that i usually looking longingly at them, but i've by no means offered one. My head is large, and i've never discovered a scarf that would stay placed various seconds. So at the same time as the headbands had been cute, I just knew they had never work on my head.

The agency lately contacted me to peer if i would like to offer them a attempt. I wrote them returned, saying that i would be happy to try them, but i've by no means been able to hold a scarf on my head; and because i am always honest with my readers, I wasn't going to mention I loved them if I did not.

They wrote returned and stated that they looked forward to the mission ;)  That gave me desire that perhaps these headbands were different, and they would live on... the employer was very confident that I would like them.

they've such a lot of patterns and colors to pick out from, but I failed to pick out what they despatched. the ones they chose for me, but, were actually lovely! There were  distinctive widths.

The bands have a backing that feels type of fuzzy, like velvet, that is what makes them stay in place (and soak up sweat). After putting it on, I moved my head to and fro and up and down, and it became nonetheless desirable. but that doesn't attest to tons, so I decided to peer how long I ought to keep it in location while cleaning my residence--the final mission.

I cleaned all day lengthy (this become just before Rik got here to metropolis) and that i kept accomplishing up to feel it and notice if it become slipping, however i was very inspired at how properly it stayed in region. It sooner or later did slip lower back too a long way, and i needed to readjust--but to be truthful, i have a big head and it stayed on a whole lot longer than another scarf i've attempted.

they are a little expensive, in my view--$15 for a narrow, $18 for a wide band... but they appear to be superb exceptional. It doesn't feel like it is cheaply made at all. it might be a adorable gift for a runner (or all and sundry who sporting activities). they have so many to pick out from--I don't know how i would be able to choose just one. additionally they let you make custom designs, which of course made me think I have to do a Runs for Cookies one. ;)
