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. ## Features - OrthoTote is ideal for - Travelers, Students carrying computer notebook bags, Mothers carrying baby paraphernalia - Occupational and physical therapists carrying equipment to home-care clients, and many many more!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000A7V3HW | | Brand | OrthoTote | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 3.0 3.0 out of 5 stars (23) | | Date First Available | October 2, 2001 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.353 ounces | | Manufacturer | OrthoTote | | Package Dimensions | 5.7 x 3.3 x 1.5 inches | ## Images ![Carry Aid for Shoulder Bag - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41XLTzxNu-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ 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. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/12697604-carry-aid-for-shoulder-bag-black](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/12697604-carry-aid-for-shoulder-bag-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
