Wristbands are encircling strips worn on the wrist, made from a variety of materials depending on the purpose. The term can be used to refer to thebracelet-like band of a wristwath, to the cuff or other part of a sleeve that covers the wrist, or to decorative or functional bands worn on the wrist for other reasons, such as lanyards
One type of wristband is also known as a sweatband, and is usually made of a towel-like terrycloth material. These are usually used to wipe sweat from the forehead during sport, or as a badge or fashion statement. A practice common in mid-1980s punk subculture was to cut the top off of a sock and fashion the elastic into this type of wristband.
Another common type of wristband is the loops of plastic that are placed around the wrist for identification purposes _________________ charity wristbands |
