READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PEOPLE!!!
First off, let me just say that before buying these, I've tried several similar products from Walmart (the fabric with yellow tape) & Lowes (rubberized cloth) - they were completely worthless.So after reading the negative reviews here, I was dubious. One review however, got my attention which said they work great if you follow the instructions.So let me just spell it out for those that have a tendency not to do so - Ruggies work great if you READ AND APPLY BASED ON THE INSTRUCTIONS!Here is what I did.1. Place your rug where you want it to be.2. Flip up one corner.3. Peel the paper off the supplied tape and stick the tape to the corner of the rug (sticky side toward the rug, shiny side facing your).4. Take one of the rubber Ruggies and stick the shiny side to the tape you just applied to the rug. The pebbled side should now be facing you.5. Place the corner of the rug with Ruggie attached down on the floor.6. Repeat for the other 3 corners.I have scraped hardwood, and once I attached the Ruggies, and laid the rug back down, SUCCESS! This rug isn't going anywhere.ADDED NOTE: I was curious what would happen if I pulled the rug up to vacuum - would the Ruggies still work? So I peeled one corner back up off the floor - when you do this, don't just rip it off the floor - the tape seems to sick well, but it is taped to a porous surface (your rug) and it's a good idea to peel it back carefully so as not to Rio the tape off the rug. When I placed the rug back down on the floor, it held firm.Bottom line - I'm iimpressed - don't let the bad reviews here faze you. This product is certainly not a scam. When applied according to the instructions, they work great.

Do not waist your effort or money on this product
I really tried to make this product work, followed the directions to a tee.Here is the problem, the top (piece that attaches to the rug) does not work, meaning it will not stick forany period of time to my area rugs and I have numerous different rugs. The bottom portion that sticksto the hard wood flooring is perfect. I do have a small (13 pound) dog and she can move the rugs justby running on them. Wish there was a product that worked, but this is not the one you want to spendyour money on. BTW, I have had the pads in place for months and the product failed.

I love this product!!
I bought my first pckg of RUGGIES at Walgreen's and the second pckg from Amazon. I needed another pckg because I gave the second set to my grandson. I love them! A wonderful product! I put the RUGGIES on a rug that the entry door has to clear. Kids, people and pets walk over the rug every time they enter the house. That rug never moves! About every 2 or 3 months the rug will start to slip from dust and dirt build up. I pull the RUGGIES off, wash them in the sink with dish soap and warm water. I use a wet paper towel to wipe off the black backing that is on the rug, reapply the RUGGIES when they dry, flip the rug over and put the rug down in front of the door. It is good for another few months. I can vacuum over it, sweep around it, kids come in and out, the RUGGIES hold the rug in place. I think this is one of the best products I have purchased. I would swear by it.I ordered from Amazon Prime with the free 2 day shipping. It came on the second day. By the way, the RUGGIES were $2.00 cheaper by ordering them from Amazon. It was a great deal all around!

Great for Zombie Attacks
. . . because it only sticks to human flesh. Of course, it doesn't adhere to living flesh well enough to cause any bodily harm.I'll be saving these in my Prepper's Hidey Hole for use as a first line of defense against a Zombie Attack in the apocalypse. My plan is to tar these to the front stoop and rear patio area. In the best case scenario, they will stick to zombies' feet, preventing their advance into my home. If the assailants are not stopped dead in their tracks (couldn't resist that one), they may be distracted,or even fascinated, by the traction and resultant difficulty with forward movement. At the very least, this will slow them down some, buying me some preparation time.Seriously, though, these things feel very sticky to the hands when they come out of the box, seeming perfect for their intended purpose. However, they do not stick to rugs, even lightweight ragrugs, very well at all. And by not very well, I mean that even with the rug positioned where I wanted it with its corner folded over, I couldn't get the ruggy's adherence to withstand replacement of the corner of the rug to the floor. So, I tried sticking the ruggy to the non-glossy tile floor first and then putting the rug down over it, without much success. The thing wouldn't stick at all to either the hardwood or tile (and I don't have marble, granite, or high sheen glazed tiles, either).By the way, I was trying to stick down a 3' x 1.5' ragrug that normally sits in the entryway for placement of wet boots after removal, and we never got to the wet boots part, because the ruggies just didn't hold the rug. The one that got away when I abandoned the project did manage to find the bottom of my bare foot later, and it stuck quite well. Luckily, I wasn't stuck walking in circles, though, because, as I said, the thing did not stick to the floor at all. My foot was really no worse for the wear, either.Basically, these things adhere to human flesh exclusively.I would normally give a product that failed this miserably a lower rating, but I'm hopeful that someday I will be glad that I stashed them for a Zombie Apocalypse. I know you are laughing at me now, but even the CDC wants us prepared for such an untoward event, as evidenced by their video series on Zombie Preparedness (go ahead and type it into your search engine of choice, "CDC and Zombies.").In summary, these are recommended for preppers who both haven't ruled out the possibility of a zombie attack and have not yet completed their perimeter security plans. For sticking rugs to floors, not so much.

Not Recommended
Whether trying to secure a rug to hardwood, linoleum, concrete or carpet, these do not work. They appear well made, are easy to use and are well-packaged, but they simply do not have the adhesive power to keep rugs of any sort in place.

Worked perfectly for my application, but your mileage may vary
Why I bought it* I have carpet stair runners on my hardwood stairwell that would shift, which would sometimes scare my dogs when they climbed the stairs* Note that my stair runners have rubber bottoms, which work very well with the gripper pads. If you have a fabric bottom rug, your mileage will likely vary, as there is a chance the included Ruggit Tape may not stick well to it.The Good Parts* Installs in minutes. I used two pads per stair runner. You need four for a full mat/rug though.* Adheres well to smooth surfaces like rubber. If you have a fabric bottom, the package includes "Ruggit Tape", which has an adhesive that sticks to the fabric. You then stick the Ruggit to that Ruggit Tape. I did not test this because it did not apply to my situation.* Reusable. The material is similar to the pads you put in your car dashboard to hold your phone in place. I find that material tends to work well. In terms of durability, I will update this review if I have problems over time.* So far in my use, it does not mark the floor.Could Be Better* I feel like the product is a little expensive. $9.99 would be the sweet spot for me, but having said that, the improved safety on my stairs still makes the product worthwhile for me.Good To Know* Not really a con, just the nature of the beast - if the pads get dirty, they will stop sticking, so you may have to clean them periodically to keep them sticky.

Super Klebkraft!
Ich kann die Teile wirklich empfehlen. Klebkraft ist super! Sind auch gut durchdacht, denn für Teppiche, die sehr perforiert sind, gibt es extra Klebematten, die man dazwischen klebt. Wir sind sehr zufrieden. Ich habe die Dreiecke unter Matten geklebt, die das Katzenstreu auffangen. Die hat der Staubsaugerroboter immer angesaugt und hinterließ ein kleines Chaos. Trotz Magnetband war das immer Glücksspiel. Mit diesen Teilen kein Problem!

This product is rubbish
This product is rubbish. They do not stick to the rug. I ordered the product Ruggies, but instead received an alternative product. I believe this is misrepresentation. Beware when you order.
