The strip was a little wide for my purse straps, but just cut it in 1/2 and only had to use 1 strip for both handles.I've taken my new purse out on 4-5 shopping stops over the past week, and didn't have the strap slip even one time! I don't know how long the strips will stay attached or what kind of abuse they can take, but so far it's been fine.It's really nice to be able to select from more than just cross-body bags and also avoid a cross-body strap bisecting my torso.I'll be recommending to my friends.
