There is a lot of misinformation regarding elastrator bands going around here lately. Mika Tan is using a real elastrator band in the video. It looks thinner simply because it is stretched out on the elastrator. The bands are tiny in circumference when purchased but they have to be stretched to get the testicles through.

Once they are snapped off the elastrator (above the balls) they try to get back to their normal size thus slowly cutting off the blood supply to the balls. Permanent damage is far from instant and in general takes many hours.

The bands are very easy to cut off…they are rubber bands after all. One quick snip with a pair of scissors and they instantly pop off.
