Safe-er-Grip Changing Lifestyles Suction Cup Grab Bars For Bathtubs & Showers; Safety Bathroom Assist Handle, White & Grey, 16 Inches

Bought it as a shower perch for my bird because all other perches lacked when it came to suction or bearing weight. It works very well! There's grip on the inside and it has no problem sticking to my tiled wall when all other suction cups have failed. I could probably put my whole weight on this thing without problem.

This particular brand was recommended by a Home Physical Therapist to us. It clings to our shower surface very strongly and we have been quite impressed. It's not intended to lift you up if you pull on it, but it is amazing for steadying yourself and giving you the support you sometimes need. It is very simple to install, but does require some strength to pull the tab down.

Great product and quality. It's very easy to install, and the suction is very strong. I got this for my mom, who has slipped and fallen in the shower in the past. This, along with non-slip floor stickers, puts my mind more at ease. I installed on a clean smooth tile shower wall. It's not meant to support full weight on it, but more for having something sturdy to hold on for balance.

I am an occupational therapist who does home health with geriatric patients. I am constantly searching for certain adaptive equipment to make my patients' bathrooms safer. As unfortunate as it is, many people are unwilling to give up aesthetics for safety! That means they won't install real grab bars into their tiled showers because it will mess up their tile.That's where this product comes in handy. I looked at several different brands before purchasing this one for my patients. I have since tried it on many different surfaces and it works with varying results depending on where you position it.I've tried it on walls - it sticks...for about 1/2 hour. Don't do it. You'll end up hurting yourself! Even if your wall isn't textured it will come off.If you're using it as a handle on the edge of your bathtub to get in/out, it'll work great! That sucker will not come off no matter how hard you tug on it. Plus, it's not high enough to catch your legs when you're trying to get your legs over the edge (thinking more of geriatric patients who have hip and knee range of motion problems).In the actual shower area, your results again are varied. Your best bet is a shower that has a smooth surface, like laminate or faux tile. However, I've had fairly good results with tiled showers too. Just make sure that at least one of the suction cups is exclusively over a tiled area and not a grout area. Sometimes the grout lines don't provide the surface area that the cup needs to get a tight suction.So the long and short of it is make sure you are putting this on a surface that can get a good seal. Let the grab bar sit un-used for about 4-5 hours. If it would fall off, it will on its own during this time. After that, if it's still on, you're probably good to go. But I'd tug on it a few times to make sure.The first time I bought it, I did a few test runs on surfaces in my own home. I decided that I'd hold onto the box and all packaging and not hesitate to return it if it didn't work out. So far I've placed 4 of them in patients' homes and that says a lot because I'm the one on the line if they don't work out.Update 3/13: Fast forward a few years...I was making this recommendation to a few patients back then but only with the advice that people use it for stability only. I am now withholding even that advice. I've had a lot more experience with them now and even the brands that I was "recommending" at the time are now off my list. They can not be fully trusted and it is better to be safe than sorry, to be cliche. I hate to go back on what I said but I've seen personally even a few weeks later of a good tight seal, coming off in a person's hands. This is not good. If you live in a rental and your manager won't let you install real bars, then you may not have any other option but I would tug and check these bars daily and especially before you intend to hold it. Even in these circumstances, there are tension bars and tub clamps that may give more stability than suction cup grabbars. That's my new take.

this product is great. easy to install with just a snap. anyone can do it. easy to remove as well. once its on it as strong as the ones that are permenant. great for taking with you to where ever you go that doesnt have a grab bar. pay attention to the directions about where to install. YOU CANNOT INSTALL ON TILE. not sure about walll. I installed on flat hard surface around tub and shower area.

This grip was installed temporarily in a tub-shower while a new low-step stall shower was being installed. It worked successfully to provide security while high-stepping into the tub-shower.The grip was removed and is being stored until it is needed again.I would recommend this, though I will admit I do not know how long the suction will hold up each time it is attached - it did stay attached for the week we needed it.

Its a nice product but unstuck when dry.
