\"\"<\/a>I’m trying to make the wrist band stylish again, one race at a time.\u00a0 If you’ve been following OHC for any length of time, you know that I wear wrist bands on all my summer time runs.\u00a0 I need something to wipe the sweat off my face and wrist bands are the right tools for the job.\u00a0 They are small and light weight, easy to slip on and off, but more importantly, great for wiping the sweat off my face.<\/p>\n

On super hot days, sometimes I’ll wear two of them.<\/p>\n

When it comes to what I consider essential running gear for the summer, it’s safe to say that I don’t leave home without them.<\/p>\n

I was contacted by America’s Nutrtion<\/a> (shoutout to Stephanie!) asking me if I would be willing to review a product that they carried in their store.\u00a0 I debated about this for a while because looking at the site, America’s Nutrition also carries weight-loss supplements which is not something I support.<\/p>\n

I came to the conclusion that reviewing a product they carry doesn’t equal me supporting weight-loss supplements.\u00a0 I also have faith in my readers that you guys know me well enough to also be certain of this fact.\u00a0 Because of that I agreed to review a product and the one I picked was a set of wrist bands!<\/p>\n

The wrist bands that I was currently using at the time were causing me some woes.\u00a0 They were scratching my face up and also causing the entire bottom half of my face to break out like I was 16 and working the deep fryer at Micky D’s.<\/p>\n

At 33, this is not the look that I’m going for.<\/p>\n

I put my request in for the wrist bands and they arrived very quickly!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Oooo pretty!\u00a0 Microfiber wrist bands<\/a> with antibacterial qualities?\u00a0 I’m in!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Upon opening them, I squealed with delight at how soft they are.\u00a0 Literally like little cloud puffs for your wrist.\u00a0 I could not wait to test them out!<\/p>\n

I waited until I had used them for a while before writing this review because I felt it important that I have some decent experience with them.\u00a0 That’s only fair to you guys!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here’s how it looks on my wrist.\u00a0 I’m not sure if you can tell but the wrist bands are actually very large for my frame.\u00a0 I have super tiny wrists and these wrist bands are very big to wear.\u00a0 They also have no elastic qualities which means they don’t conform to my wrist.\u00a0 They slip on and that’s it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is how I actually wear the wrist band when I run.\u00a0 I turn it inside out and make sure the logo is on the bottom.\u00a0 Inside out so that there’s no risk of the logo scratching my face or eye during a run when I’m less likely to be paying attention.<\/p>\n

Also, don’t be alarmed at my wrist looking funky!\u00a0 It’s just the angle of the camera.\u00a0 I wear the wrist band so that it is half way up my hand, in other words, so that it covers half my hand.\u00a0 I do this because the wrist band is so large.\u00a0 If I do not do this, it will slip up and down, up and down, my arm as I run.\u00a0 That can get annoying after a bit.<\/p>\n

Despite the larger size, I honestly really do like these wrist bands.\u00a0 They are soft and do not scratch my face.\u00a0 The wrist band is made out of a microfiber material with antibacterial properties to it.\u00a0 That means they don’t smell and won’t cause you to wipe ickies all over yourself as you’re working out.<\/p>\n

They work really well at wiping sweat off your face.\u00a0 If you are super major sweaty, it sort of feels like it doesn’t get all<\/em> the sweat but it still gets the majority off and out of your eyes.\u00a0 Since using these new wrist bands my face has cleared up and they haven’t irritated or clogged any of my pores.<\/p>\n

They are easy to care for, toss in the wash and then the dryer.\u00a0 Since there’s two of them, you can alternate them through out the week.\u00a0 I use them for all my runs now and I have no desire to go back to the old wrist bands.<\/p>\n
