gel bracelet

Gel bracelets, or jelly bracelets are an inexpensive type of wristband often made from Silicone. They come in a variety of colors, and several can be worn on each arm. They have been popular in waves throughout the Western world and elsewhere since the 1980s.〔Mikkelson, Barbara (2003). ("Sex Bracelets" ). snopes.com. Retrieved December 22, 2005.〕 One style of these wristbands, known as "awareness bracelets", carry debossed messages demonstrating the wearer's support of a cause or charitable organization.〔("What are wristbands about?" ) (February 01, 2005). news.bbc.co.uk. Retrieved December 2, 2006.〕
== Charity awareness wristbands ==

The silicone wristband first became available in 2004 with the Livestrong yellow band which was set up by American cyclist Lance Armstrong to raise awareness of cancer. A larger, 1" wide variety became more popular in 2007, with bands selling the inexpensive items to young concert fans. Both the wider and thinner bands are cheap to customize and as a result have become a popular fundraising tool in America and beyond.
The price of these wristbands varies depending on the particular campaign, but are often $1 or £1 and usually the majority of the money goes towards the charity involved. They are seen by young people as trendier than traditional charity pins which may explain their increase in popularity.
