TAILI Grab Bars for Bathtubs and Showers 2 Pack Suction Grab Bar, Heavy Duty Shower Handle Removable Bath Handrails for Seniors and Elderly, Bathroom Safety Grip No Drilling Waterproof,Grey

These suction cup safety grab bars are absolutely 💯 % fantastic ! ! !. I installed them in our walk-in shower in our master bathroom . I cleaned the surface with TileX and then with isopropyl alcohol to make sure the areas were spotless free from soap residue and from hair conditioner. The walk-in shower is a precast fiberglass shower unit and the walls are smooth as glass I followed the enclosed instructions and we couldn't be more happier with the outcome. The suction cups have incredible holding. power well beyond my expectations.I'm not a small guy and I tried to get the suction to break and it ain't gonna happen I can actually see the walls of the shower surround flexing and this shower surround is not one of those cheap units from a home center it was custom made so it's incredibly strong and when I actually saw the Wall moving when I tried to get the safety bar to fail I was convinced that if it's not going to let loose after me purposely trying to make it come loose. Now I'm confident it's going to be safe for my wife if she needs to grab hold of it. The only draw back is make sure you put it where you want it because it's no easy task to get the suction cups to break loose take it from experience because I had to do it.I purchased a 16" safety bar for another manfacture because I did see that the original seller of these offered a 16" bar.The one I purchased from a different seller appeared to be identical to the ones I originally bought. Well when I receive it and tried to install it no matter what I did it kept falling off. Don't be fooled from a look alike.

If you have a really smooth non-porous surface, then this holds like a pit bull with lock jaw.I used hard water descaler and then scrubbed with warm water for a while. I then let it dry.Next day I pull off the plastic covers and place it on the shower wall. I can hang from it but I only weigh 160lbs.Idk how long the seal will last, but it did come with some sort of sticky coating, so I am hopeful that the seal will hold. I think it would seal best if installed at 110°f or basically after a hot shower. I have a steamer, so I might try that if it fails to hold on.Since air expands when heated, if you install when cold, it may fall off when a hot shower heats it up.Notice in the second photo where you can see it still have mineral deposits that will allow air to slowly leak in behind the seal over time. So, i will likely clean again with chemical of it falls off.43$ is pricey, but still cheaper than permanent wall mount units. Plus you get two of these.

We ordered these grab bars for our acrylic shower/tub enclosure following husband’s knee replacement surgery. We wanted safe, secure handholds without having to drill through the acrylic to try to find studs for support of other types of bars. The product arrived in 2 days and was well packaged, including a protective plastic cover over the rubber (slightly tacky) suction ends. This cover keeps the pads free from debris that might impair the seal, so leave them in place till ready to install. (I took one off before I realized the pad was slightly tacky, so I replaced it till we were ready.) The slight tackiness of the pads was sufficient to temporarily hold the bars in place on the freshly cleaned and dried flat surface while we decided if positioning was good. Once we were sure, the instructions were followed to firmly attach the bars using the levers/latches to apply suction. We were both very impressed how secure the bars are once installed! It has been a week now, and they are still very tightly attached - so much so that even testing by trying to pull them off (without releasing the vacuum) did not loosen them at all. We feel very secure using these bars and would definitely recommend them to anyone with such a need - and they look good, too. Just be sure you follow the directions for installation - clean surfaces well (and air dry to avoid lint) and be sure that the location is perfectly flat so the suction pads can seal well. (We had to avoid subtle curves and a slightly raised diamond design in parts of our enclosure.) Press down firmly on each lever (while still in the open/vertical position) to force out air from under the pad, and then, while still pressing, fold the lever down. It only takes a minute to install each bar after the chosen location is cleaned and ready.

Since my wife and I are older, we're more conscious of safety around our home. That means adding a couple of handle bars to our shower. I didn't want to have to drill through my porcelain tile to attach metal bars, so I chose the suction cup style. These seem to work so far. I read the reviews about people who experienced theirs falling off after a while. I really think that if you apply them to the right clean surface (mine is smooth faced porcelain tile) and follow the instructions for pushing the suction cups towards the surface before locking them down. They immediately stuck very tight and haven't budged in a week of showers. It helps to mount them vertically so as to better balance weight distribution. I chose the metallic finish to try and match the fixtures in my shower. Should have chosen white! These look like someone used a pump sprayer bottle to apply silver paint over sandpaper! I know they're plastic, but compare them to the plastic shower head I purchased at a retail store that actually looks like metal! I've given them a '4' star rating but primarily because they work; they'd get a '1' based on looks alone otherwise! The instructions clearly state that these are not to be used to support your full body weight but to help you balance yourself while getting in/out or maneuvering. And for that, they work well If you need more support you'll need to consider the bolt on kind!
