The "hook" side: Features a strip of rigid, tiny hooks.
The "loop" side: Consists of a strip of soft, fuzzy loops.
The bond: Pressing the two sides together forces the hooks to catch and interlock with the loops, forming a secure bond.
Reusability: The bond can be easily separated by pulling the two sides apart, making it a reusable fastener.
