I got these for using at the gym. I had recently gotten my bangs cut, and I didn't want my hair in my face when I was working out. These headbands are perfect for keeping my bangs up out of my face. Normally headbands like these don't fit well and slide off easily. I figured if they were too loose I could just tighten them up with my sewing machine. But they didn't need to be adjusted at all.
