Well consider yourselves lucky that you can purchase a box in the size you need!! In the US, I have found that our rubber bands (elastic bands), like our paper, are sized "just" a tad differently, with some being too big and others being too small. Fortunately, a friend was able to get a handful of the right size when she was in Europe, and shared.
