Made of sturdy material. I like that it attaches to the leash with Velcro as opposed to a carabiner. The bags are easy to load into the dispenser, however, they do not dispense easily. The bags that came with the dispenser were even more difficult to dispense then the refills I had purchased elsewhere. It does its job, but can be frustrating when your struggling to get a bag out with an impatient pup on the other end of the leash.I love this bag holder! It’s smaller than most so it’s not clunky and dangling from my dogs leash. With that being said the reasons I love this bag holder are also what give me some less favorable thoughts on it but the good out way the negative for me. Since it is smaller, putting the bags into the holder isn’t the easiest through the smaller zipper opening at the top. You kind of have to shove them in there. I personally attach the Velcro straps so the holder is right up close to the leash so it doesn’t dangle. Doing so means I have to un-do the Velcro and removeThe holder in order to add more bags. I just worry the straps will eventually come loose from the holder or the Velcro won’t hold as tight. I’ve had the leash a couple months and live in an apartment so I am out walking my dog multiple times a day and have to add bags frequently and so far the Velcro straps have held up great!I love these Five Star Pet dispensers for carrying poop bags. I find the hard plastic type to be irritating, clunky, noisy, uncomfortable to handle, yuck. I have a fancy leather dispenser from an Etsy maker, and it's lovely, but the attachment to the leash is too fragile to use every day.These Five Star designs are really well thought-out. The small bag is sturdy, well-made, and functional, from the fabric to the seams and closure, to the Velcro bit that attaches to the leash. Many designs to choose from, two rolls of bags are included, and they last forever. Both the original flap design and the barrel design are great.The price varies quite a bit among the various Amazon listings and across the web. If it seems high, search "Five Star Pet dispenser" to view more choices.I didn't know i needed this as a dog owner. Its so convenient and comes with 2 rolls. You can also refill it with those free dog bags that many apartment complexes provide for their residents dogs as well. Also good for keys or treats.I hate poop. The only thing worse than using these bags is having to go around and clean up the yard after the fact. So I keep these on my dog's leash and clean up immediately. I do have a bit of a struggle at times getting them to pull out of the dispenser and tear off. I previously used one of the plastic tube types which I really liked, but so did my dog. He chewed on the plastic and broke it. I don't have that problem with this one.Easy to use, and light enough to clip to the leash without being too noticable or cumbersome.Everyone in the family noticed how thick and durable the bags were; that might be a plus for folks with a big dog. For our little pup, I'll buy my refills at the $-store.I have both the barrel and the fold over design of these dispensers. I give the barrel design 4 stars and the fold over design 5 stars. the reason for the four stars in this design is the straps are positioned so you have to remove it from leash in order to refill, which is my main complaint. Barrel is also tight so getting bags in it can be a little difficult, where as the fold over design the rolls go right in. (FYI refill bags only move smoothly when placed with bags running over the top of the barrel then to the slit opening, not from the bottom to roll out to the slit.) I love the look and patterns of the barrel design more then the fold over design, but ultimately ended up using the fold over design because it is easier to load bags. Love the five star pet disposable bags that come with this!I like how easy it is to add bags or get bags out. It Velcros onto the handle of the leash.
