It has a slit in the middle where an elastic strap goes through. Instead of using fabric or faux leather straps, the elastic strap stretches over the head and keeps the ball in place. It is easy to use and even more straightforward to clean, as you can wash it with soap and water; note that you’ll have to leave the elastic strap to air-dry before storing it.
