I replaced my bands years ago. I purchased with (here in the US) Sparco

And, the best of friends that she is, she sent me some, too. And they did fit/work to perfection (I tested). I then left them in the original (paper) envelope, therefore they're now dust, like the original ones.

OTOH, the orthodontal rubber bands that I scrounged off my son's doctor 17 yrs ago (twice as long at least as I've had the bands from Carolyn), and which I use to carry two bobbins as one when replacing a thread, are still in perfectly snappy shape. The lesson there is: keep your bands in a tightly sealed (one of the zip-lock kind) plastic pouch, and in a dark place...
