An elastic band, also known as a rubber band, is a widely used household item for holding things together or bundling items. However, the word "elastic band" is not the only term to describe this useful item. Depending on where you are in the world, other synonyms may be used, such as bungee, stretch band, binder, or garter. A more specific term for elastic bands used for clothing is a hemming tape or braided elastic. For exercise purposes, an elastic band can be called a resistance band or fitness band. Whatever term you use, the function remains the same, providing a stretchable and adjustable grip for various tasks.
