## Overview

The OrthoTote Carry Aid is a patented shoulder pad designed to prevent slipping and reduce shoulder pain from carrying bags. Its wedge shape and shock-absorbing materials distribute weight evenly and secure straps up to 2" wide without removal. Ideal for travelers, students, and professionals seeking ergonomic comfort and reliable strap stability.

## Description

The patented OrthoTote "wedge technology" effectively prevents camera bags, laptops and luggage from slipping off your shoulders like nothing else can. Its advanced high tech "shock absorb" materials prevents pain by protecting your shoulder pressure points from the weight of your carrying strap. Rave reviewed in national magazines, featured as a top 100 gadget in the best selling book, "Gadget Nation," isn't it time you discover the comfort and security of the OrthoTote? Compatible with all standard 2" wide carrying straps. No need to remove strap to install. Can be used as a replacement shoulder pad or as a second shoulder pad on the strap. Secures your laptop bags & carrying strap luggage as if they were nailed on. Its wedge shape is angled perfectly to counteract the natural sliding pond effect of your shoulder. It's large surface area distributes the weight of the carrying strap to provide you with unprecedented comfort. It's non-marking thickly cushioned bottom layer acts as a shock absorber eliminating the shoulder pain associated with your carrying strap digging in with each step you take.

Review: Not for most women - I would have to say that this gadget will probably work for most men, but it is way too wide for use by the average woman. It's also too large to use with most shoulder purses. It is not flexible and doesn't "fit" to your shoulder. All it did for me was to get my hair tangled in it.
Review: for sliding shoulder straps not extra comfort of heavy strap - I thought this would be comfortable as a cushion for a heavy shoulder strap/bag but it's not. It does stay in place but you need to adjust it perfectly secure on shoulder and it will hold...it's rubber and not cushioned.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not for most women
*by K***R on July 9, 2007*

I would have to say that this gadget will probably work for most men, but it is way too wide for use by the average woman. It's also too large to use with most shoulder purses. It is not flexible and doesn't "fit" to your shoulder. All it did for me was to get my hair tangled in it.

### ⭐⭐⭐ for sliding shoulder straps not extra comfort of heavy strap
*by R***L on August 5, 2010*

I thought this would be comfortable as a cushion for a heavy shoulder strap/bag but it's not. It does stay in place but you need to adjust it perfectly secure on shoulder and it will hold...it's rubber and not cushioned.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It really works well!
*by E***K on March 3, 2015*

It looks and feels little odd at first, but it really works! I have a briefcase with a strap that slips off my shoulder in rainwear or winter parka, but this pad really fixed that problem.
