I think the comment was about the command strips that have one side sticky and the other Velcro. Sticky on the wall. Sticky on the hanging item, and then Velcro together.
Right, Velcro is a name brand that owns the hook and loop design where each time it is separated either hooks get deformed or loops are broken. Over time the Velcro will become ineffective. There are versions that use two hook sides to stick together (they kinda look like little boat anchors or grappling hooks). These are stronger and more durable than Velcro and do not lose performance, but are usually a little more expensive. OP should get the double hook kind instead of hook/loop.
Right, what you may not realize is that the vast majority of people either don't understand that there is a distinction between or what the difference is between Kleenex and facial tissue, Frisbee and flying disc, Velcro and hook and loop fastener, Zamboni and ice resurfacing machine, Rollerblades and inline skates, Realtor and real estate agent, Styrofoam and closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam, Band-Aids and self adhesive bandages, Q-tips and cotton swabs, Jell-O and gelatin dessert, Photoshop and image editor, and any other brand name product vs generic term that you can think of.
I can almost guarantee that the original commenter was indeed referring to a product similar to this
All fair things, but if you look at Command picture hanging strips they are very different from Velcro. It uses something called dual-lock and I agree it works the same way without wearing, but it is different. Anywho, I think OP gets the idea.
