elastic straps

Flexible securing bands

Elastic straps are narrow bands of stretchy material used to secure, hold, or fasten things in place.

They appear on clothing (waistbands, bra straps), luggage, medical devices, and exercise equipment.

The elasticity allows them to stretch under tension and return to their original length: The elastic straps on my goggles are wearing out.
