Daughter loves it! Helps to stretch her muscles for dance.

Absolutely LOVE the perfectly perfect purple colored stretch band for dance, gymnastics, yoga training and more from The Plum Company. Girls will love the color!!!It arrived in an AWESOME colored box which is GREAT for gift giving! This product is made from natural latex rubber.I am a dance teacher and purchased this to try with my daughter before recommending to students. My daughter noticed a big difference in her flexibility after just a few uses! With regular use of the Plum band she will improve her flexibility of her legs, and back. My daughter loves it, and she is getting stronger with her flexibility using this daily!This is a wonderful stretching and strength training tool for everyone. Great for dancers, gymnasts, people who are into fitness, or people who are rehabilitating at home and need to do some safe stretching exercises. This works for side, back, and forward lifts/stretches. I highly recommend this PLUM band for great results. It is awesome for your arms and legs. And it provides hands free stretching. The band is about 40" from end to end. This is very helpful because it can work for any height. You can simply adjust to your height by knotting off the ends, I also tried on a smaller student and it worked with ease.It is easy to get started; it comes with an instructional booklet included with the product. ADAPTS TO ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS. Can be used by experienced and professional dancers for advanced stretching and technique, while the included INSTRUCTIONAL BOOKLET illustrates basic stretches to help beginners get started. You can also find more stretches on their website, which is provided in the booklet. It also comes with a travel bag, which is nice for my daughter to keep in her dance bag.You can purchase this with confidence!!!! It does is do what it was designed to do! I will be requiring this of my students for stretch class.PlumBand - The Premium Ballet Stretch Band for Dancers and Gymnasts (includes Instruction Booklet and Travel Bag)

The first thing I would like to say is that this company has AMAZING customer service. I ordered the small plum band for Christmas as a surprise for my daughter who is 8 and is working to improve her flexibility with the splits. I originally ordered the small size due to her height (approximately 48”), but when I opened it to check out the product, I had concerns that the small would not work due to the tension of the band and the fact that she is working to improve flexibility (and is not super flexible). I reached out to ask about an exchange for the regular size and was provided with the most excellent customer service. I was told that they would ship out the regular size and to keep the small. They did not want my daughter to be disappointed on Christmas Day. I am so very thankful for the fantastic customer service I received from this company—seems like good customer service is a rarity today. Additionally, the product itself is awesome! I did not notice any weird smells or anything and it comes in a cute bag and with a small instructional guide that my daughter will easily be able to throw into her dance bag. I am giving this to my daughter on Christmas Day, so I don’t have any information yet on how this works to help her splits, but she has seen other girls use bands like this, and she is very determined to improve her splits, so my guess is that this will be a great help to her!

Figured I should finally get around to updating this- the company that makes these is amazing. After my initial review, they reached out to me and offered to send me a small sized band, free of charge. I've been using the smaller band for a few months now, and I find it's much more successful for someone of my height. But, depending on the stretch, I do still use the purple one sometimes. I almost wish there was an in-between sized band! But I don't mind using both for different things.Personally, I feel like the larger sized band doesn't stretch me as well as I'd hoped. I'm not super short but also not tall (a little less than 5'3), and I have to wrap this band around myself several times to get a good stretch, sometimes cutting off my circulation. It does feel like a high quality band though, despite daily use it always goes back to its original size and doesn't get any thin spots where it gets overstretched. I like it much better than other bands that I've used, however I do wish I had gotten the small. I won't now, because I don't love the product enough to also buy the small, and I'll deal with what I have because $20 is a bit steep of a price to pay. I'll probably never make a pattern in the little white dots like you're supposed to, but I feel like this could be a really cool personalization feature especially for young dancers.5/5 on the packaging though! I loved the cute message I read upon opening up the box, it really made me smile.

Only used once so far, but so far loving it. I haven't used other bands of this same style before, so I can't compare it to others, but I can say that I really like the closed loop. Made it a lot more convenient to loop around myself as the booklet suggested, and then just lie there in bed with my leg extended in the air. Allowing me to hold the stretch for 5 minutes made a big difference. I haven't been able to bring my leg up that far in almost 20 years! I'm a "retired dancer" who was never flexible to begin with, and I started back teaching tap this year, at 36 yrs old...thinking I didn't need to stretch before tap classes. Well, a few months in, and my legs started killing me. So now I've been stretching them and rolling a ball under my foot. Both help tremendously. After doing both, I have twice found that I can get back up in releve properly, allowing me do turns like I haven't been able to do in I can't remember when. Stretching is key for us ol folks! And this thing helps SO much!
