What types of cords can I use with these stops?
These cord stops are designed for single cords of standard drawstring thickness. They work well with fabric cords, paracord, and other similar materials.
How do I attach the cord stop?
Thread your cord through the single hole, position the stop, and squeeze it firmly onto the cord. The internal spring provides the holding power.
Can these cord stops be removed once attached?
Yes, they can be removed by carefully releasing the tension, but they are designed to hold securely once applied.
Are these cord stops suitable for children's clothing?

Do these come in other colors or shapes?

Troubleshooting
Cord slips through the stop
Ensure the cord stop is fully squeezed onto the cord. If the cord is too thin or slippery, consider using a thicker cord or a different type of cord management solution.
Cord stop is difficult to attach
Check that the cord is threaded correctly through the single hole and that the cord is not excessively thick for the stop's opening. Ensure you are applying firm, even pressure when squeezing the stop onto the cord.
Spring mechanism feels weak
Verify that the cord stop is correctly positioned and the spring is engaged. If the issue persists after correct application, the unit may be defective.
