How long does the adjustable elastic last if it's worn and stretched every day?

I bought the belt recently and don't wear it everyday (only wear it when my hip is bothering me). Not sure how long it will last if its worn daily.

Hum . . . . I can't really answer that question. I've had my belt 6 months or so. Sometimes I wore it for several hours several times a day, and then I didn't wear it at all for weeks. I will say that this is a quality made belt, and that it should last a long time! Looking at some of the other comments, I'll say that it's very important to position the belt correctly and you don't need a lot of pressure for it to be effective. It helped me get over my sacorillac problems!

I've been using mine daily since Aug. 2013 and I'm currently looking for a new one. However, I feel this one will last for another 6 months to a year, at least. Then I can alternate between the two.

I have the older one made with cotton and elastic. I've worn it every day for 3 years and it is still going strong.

I have had mine for a good year and a half of constant wear. Its a little worn down but still going. I would say about 1-2 years of every day wear before replacement

I could not wear the belt after a day or two. To be tight enough it is very uncomfortable. However, it is well made and strong.

Elastic - but it fits very snuggly and I have had mine about a year and it still fits well.

I have been using mine every night for 1 1/2 years. I'm replacing it now because the velcro on the middle strap is finally losing its tight hold.

I don't know, I have not taken mine off and reused. I leave mine on for about 4 days. Anything that loosens I cut off and retape. I use mine for pes anserine and its usually around the knees that need replacement.

Well, that all depends on your usage... I have used one of these weekly for about 5 yrs and it shows no sign of wearing out.

It does pretty well actually for about a dozen +/- uses. However it does become basically unusable after that. One trick I found: wear the small ones on small fingers until they stretch and then use them on bigger fingers / thumbs. This shud stretch ur bucks even further. :)Hope that helps!

Not sure what others have done, but I kept mine on my hand continuously for over a month, changing them or cleaning as necessary. I would assume that the more they are worn, the better the results.

It has elastic all the way around, which means it stretchs very well. And holds on & doesn't move.

For sure, it's adjustable and elastic. Im about 36 and there is plenty of room to tighten it up.

I believe they would last until the elasticity in the band becomes too weak to apply enough pressure. I have not had any wear out yet.

well it depends on how many stretch marks you have. But the bottle lasted me almost two months and i used it day and night.

I've only had mine for a month or so. However, I'm certain it depends on how often you use them and how well you take care of them after and between each use. I expect mine will last longer than 6 mo. as I don't wear them constantly.

I have worn mine for up to three hours at a whack and haven't had any problems with it. It is adjustable for headsize, so you can loosen it up if it is too tight. I believe I could wear mine all day without a problem, but have no need to since my work in the woods is usually only for several hours at the most.

I've worn mine in the pool all day but not all day every day... I don't know if it might wear out quicker with the constant water contact. Have you tried asking on Fitbit's FB page? I asked them a question last year and they answered pretty quickly.

As long as the elastic doesn't stretch out, you can wear them for years. I wear mine multiple times a week sometimes. The bracelet is the kind of material that can be lightly washed if it gets dirty.

Ours gets worn daily and we have had no problems with seams tearing or anything falling off.

Obviously, it depends on how often you use it, however. I don't use it every day and it lasted a long time.
