Lots of bands on Warped sell rubber bracelets for $5 with words on them like a song title, album title, or just the band’s name. And while it seems really egotistical to me, it’s actually quite common for band members to wear their own bracelets. Charities such as the breast cancer organization Keep-A-Breast also sell wristbands to raise money — Tay Jardine owns one of their “I Heart Boobies” bracelets. Of course there’s always the option of buying bracelets from Jac Vanek, who has a booth at Warped Tour, if you want to spend twice as much and have your money support a groupie rather than a charity or a band.

You can buy band wristbands from Hot Topic, District Lines, Fueled by Ramen, or individual merch stores. The “I Heart Boobies” bracelets are available at Loser Kids. Jac Vanek has her own webstore.
Oops, that was towards Sam…
@Bre -
Jac Vanek still sells them.
They’re in her online store:

does anyone know where you can get the “just breathe” blue & white wristband??
I’m pretty sure “Just Breathe” was a Jac Vanek bracelet, but she doesn’t sell them any more.

Is there anywhere to buy breathe carolina wristbands? Or maybe someplace you can custom make them? Like the thick ones
Well, i think if you wanna support your favorite band with a bracelet its cool! it’s the same thing as wearing a band’s shirt….
and why WOULDN’T you wear your own band’s bracelet? most likely you’d just swipe it off the merch table. you wouldn’t have to pay for it or anything.
But no one cares what Bre thinks
LOL. I totally agree. If your going to wear a bracelet, don’t let be your bands and you should support a cause not a groupie.
Personally I think the thick bracelets are overrated.
