Tried velcro straps instead of zip ties for my desk setup... mixed results so far

Been using zip ties behind my desk for years cause they're cheap and hold tight. But every time I swap a cable I gotta cut them off and start over. So last weekend I bought a pack of velcro straps at the hardware store for $7. They're nice cause you can adjust stuff easy. But they also come loose after a few days if you don't double wrap them. One of my monitor cables kept sagging down and touching the floor. Anyone else switch over and find a trick to keep velcro from slipping?

Did you try the kind with the little loop that you feed the strap back through? I saw a video where a guy said that makes them hold way better.

Watched the same video and tried it out on my backpack straps. They held for about two weeks before one of the loops just unthreaded itself mid-walk. Guess that guy never met a heavy load of groceries.
