Piggyback Bandz Review (& Giveaway Ends 2/11)

ABOUT:

Shaped rubber bandz have been the latest craze for two years now, but now Piggyback Bandz are changing it up.  With other bands you had to guess what the shape was and had to take it off to  to find out.  Piggyback Bandz is a patent-pending version that has incorporated a mini shaped band that “piggybacks” on top of the traditional shaped rubber band allowing the top shape to easily be seen when placed on the wrist.

At first glance they look like regular bracelets until you slide them on and watch the characters stand up.  You can even layer the bands to create a word, design or whatever you imagination.  Then kids can trade them or add to their collection with all the varieties.

There are currently eight Piggyback themes:  Glam, Football, Groovy, Sealife, Alphabet, Cool Rides, Safari and Extra Letters.  Whatever your personality there is a band that fits.

MY THOUGHTS:

I admit if I was younger I would be all about those silicone bracelets, and these Piggyback Bandz are so cool!  They go on like a regular silicone bracelet but an adorable little character pops up like its in 3D!  This way you can show off your bracelet designs without actually taking them off!  What I think is really cool though is that you can layer them so you have little characters spread across or even spell out words with the alphabet bands!

I didn’t think you could really improve upon a silicone bracelet but Piggyback Bandz really created something new and different!  My tween sister loves them as does my 2 year old son!  They are a little tight on my wrist or I would be wearing them all the time!

BUY IT: Each pack of 25 bandz (26 for each letter of the alphabet) retails fro $4.95.  You can purchase them directly through Piggyback Bandz website or find them at a local specialty store.

WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive 4 packs of Piggyback Bandz, a $20 value. They come 25 per pack (alphabet has 26 in the pack)
