Silicone and rubber are often used interchangeably. They have a similar chemical makeup, but technically silicone is a "rubber-like" material. Natural rubber is a substance that comes from trees, so technically silicone bracelets are a "man made" form of rubber and don't have true rubber in them. I guess it just depends on how technical you want to get. You can check out Wikipedia for some details or talk to an expert who manufactures them, like MonkeyBands.com.

Some are painted in rainbow colors or in the colors of various country flags. Others are coated in simple colors with the words “Be Mine” or “You’re Special,” the jewelry equivalent of Valentine's Daycandy hearts. Many vendors even allow people to customize their bracelets. Oftentimes, customers can visit a Web site that specializes in producing silicone rubber bracelets and can request the colors and words of their choice.
