Bungie cords- recent use by women & girls?

[OakLeaf]

I guess I didn't use them often until my first bici tour in my early 20s, but they're not limited to two-wheeler use - they're much sturdier than string for holding down car hoods and trunks when the latch is busted, or when you're carrying a load that sticks out of your trunk/hatch. They can secure that load too (think boards, etc) or substitute for a cargo net inside a trunk or hatch, depending on the load. Plus they're re-usable, unlike string which you pretty much have to cut to get it off a car after it's been bounced around tightening the knot.

I don't know why there would be any difference between the sexes!
