rubber rings

Circular sealing bands

Rubber rings are circular bands made of rubber or similar elastic material.

The term covers a range of objects: small O-rings that create seals in plumbing and machinery, elastic bands for bundling items, and inflatable rings children use as swimming aids.

In British usage, rubber rings often specifically means the inflatable pool toys: The kids splashed about in their rubber rings.
