I knew those extra fast food straws in the junk drawer in my kitchen would come in handy one day! My old a$$ hasn't been to a full on music festival in forever. I'm really not the festival type but I'm going to Format Festival later this month with a friend who lives out of state now. But yea... the band came in today. Excited me put it on and tightened it (not too tight thankfully) right up. ... I was able to squeeze my hand out but there's no way it was going to go back on. The straw thing worked perfectly! Also supper happy to know this trick since I have some mild sensory issues and it would annoy the actual f**k out of me to have to sleep and shower with something like this on my wrist all weekend.
?? This makes no sense to me. If there's enough space to get the straw on, there's enough space to just slip the band off. If it's so tight that you need to loosen it, it's too tight for a straw. Oh well, good if it works for someone lol.
@@vickyhv89 axiom meant that to wrap the straw around the band before the black piece, the wristband would either already need to be off of your hand or loose enough so that your hand could just slide out anyway, making this method only useful for removing the the black piece, not removing the wristband from your wrist
We just got our Oceans calling wristbands. We were so excited so we put them on, much to our dismay 😩 we couldn’t remove them. Great video but my advice is don’t cut the straw too short. If this doesn’t work for you be patient and you can take a very small screwdriver 🪛 and break the plastic tabs inside and little by little it will loosen up.
I got mine off by jamming some folded(so the sticky side doesnt touch anything) clear tape through both sides through the locking bead with small flathead screwdriver. If its too tight id just cut it off.
if ur dad is a mechanic or works with wires he probably has a really strong small wire cutter/spliter that will crack it. i had to ask him cause mine were on way too tight and he got them off in one go, and they cracks were small enough that no one would know they were broken.
Another good technique, is to keep turning the bead clockwise, till the band is super tight and then pull on it, and it will come out. may damage the band abit. Didn't have a straw.
Still works for the 2024 bracelets!! Thanks so much for this! Accidentally tightened it without realizing it wouldn’t loosen. This worked perfectly!
Way easier when it’s already off your wrist
Agreed. Good instructions but definitely better as a two person task.
because i want to save the wristband as memories
You see the code. Like Neo.
True
You saved my life. For those wondering how to take it off, please use the bag method and then this after ❤
Just tried this cuz i pulled a rookie move an tighten mine too tight before i put it on😬😬 Works!! Lifesaver
confirmed to work on lollapalooza 2023 wristband!
Omg you’re a life saver🙏 I’m going Sunday and my sister she tighten mine by accident 😮💨 Thankyou for this video!
what if it’s already on my wrist and i can’t fit a straw ontop
Bruh put mine on two weeks early not knowing it doesn't come off🤣

There are little spikes inside that grip onto the ribbon, you cannot pull it off.

i’m here after hobipalooza…..however it’s already tight on my wrist so this won’t work and i can’t find a single video😭😭😭😭
Just cut off the black plastic cap.
what if the wristband black thing is too close to ur wrist
I got mine off by jamming some folded(so the sticky side doesnt touch anything) clear tape through both sides through the locking bead with small flathead screwdriver. If its too tight id just cut it off.
Cool! How was your experience? Who did you watch?
Even tho I have a different bracelet I still enjoyed the video 🤡
This saved me! Thank you!
u realize it’s on people wrists right??
worked with a Burger King straw THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for this! Saved my butt!
