You can get this stopper in your local DIY shop, if you wanna be B. B. King. I am very happy with it.

there's also this called 'Strap Keeper':

and many times I've seen folks say that the rubber gasket that is on a Grolsch beer bottle works as well.
many other pre-made items exist, such as these examples:

one of which seems to be a commercially produced version of then one in your post above

Yep. You can search "grolsch gaskets" on eBay or Amazon and find various colors and sizes for way less $ than the guitar-specific ones. I always keep a few in my uke cases to hand out to people who are having issues with their straps slipping off the button.

I'm a big fan of the genuine Grolsch branded strap locks for my guitars. They're a bit pricey here, at around $18 for four, but they come bundled with a good amount of free beer.
I've never had a need for strap locks on my ukuleles because they're so much lighter than guitars.
Dan I love that line "$18.00 for four rubber washers but comes with free beer". Rubber washers with benefits so to speak.

If you have a homebrew shop somewhere near you, they'll have the washers as well. All I've ever used on my basses and guitars.
