Does anyone know how to make your own wiggle tails?

I was thinking about this the other day, my wife has these large "bands" for physical therapy, silicone I think. They are pretty thin, she might be missing part of one in the near future.

 

I'm wondering if dipping them in boiling water and then twisting them will get the "wiggle" part to cooperate.

Maybe cut one from the repair patch for waders? Or from the rubber inertube for a bike tyre?

Steal some kids soccer ball & cut them from the inner bladder?

I'm sure plenty of other shops sell this stuff but google found this first.

 

You just need a shallow C shape and bingo, tails. That's my plan. In the thread I did I mentioned chamois too. It looks very very good in the water.

could it be as easy as cutting a c-shape from chamois, suede, kitchen rubber glove, latex sheet etc

The C chamois works.
