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

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.

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.

I needed a temporary support bar in the shower. After looking through various models available I decided on this one. After reading several other reviews I almost didn't purchase but am glad that I ignored those. Let me start off by saying that if you need a full body weight support do not even consider any brand or make of the suction cup style. If you do you are setting yourself up for false security and potential future injuries. Due to a broke ankle I just needed a stabilizing support bar as I get in and out of the shower. I found out through trial and error that the suction cups hold like super glue if installed correctly. Don't put over any seams, cracks, or tile joints. This will allow air to seep in and release the suction. I have 4" tiles and found out that by angling the bar I could get each end fully in the middle of the tile. To fully seal pull the little lever up and then push the bar in before setting the lever back. It will get really hard to set the lever back down but believe me if you do this way the suction is super strong and will hold up. Next thing before each use is to test the bar by pushing sideways and pulling. If the suction has let loose a little bit this will tell you. I've only had to reset the bar twice since I had been using it over the last month. Since I cleaned the tile that it sets on and push in on the handle before setting the lever it hasn't released. Lastly, while trying to figure out exactly where to place I had one side stuck good and the opposite side not. I can easily see trying to get the really stuck side loose by just manhandling it off but if suction is strong you will break the cup off (another reviewer posted pictures of this). I find this is a good product if installed and used correctly.

Works as advertised. The handle grips and holds on to the shower wall as advertised

Update no 3 on 2/10/2025: This bar lasted far longer than I anticipated based on experience with other suction type grab bars. It remained firm for more than two years in a fiberglass shower surround until I removed it when I moved in late 2024. It only fell off the wall 4 times during the entire period it was installed. I kept the bar and have it in storage while I am temporarily staying with family before making a more permanent move soon. Even though I originally purchased it for my late husband who needed something for balance, I found it helpful on occasion as well.Update no. 2 on 5/16/2024: I'm very pleased with the durability of this bar. I've now had it in our shower for 18 months (as of next week), and I can count only 4 times that it has fallen off the wall. Three of those occasions were after I had cleaned the shower surround and, I think, I'd not replaced it firmly. The last time was because I needed to clean the shower surround (my bad). The springs, as far as I can tell, are holding up well and help to maintain a good suction. The last bar purchased for my loved one was from a different manufacturer and had only lasted about a year; it was not maintaining strong suction and falling off the wall multiple times a week. This bar, by comparison, has outperformed our experience with other suction bars we have purchased to date.Update 10/24/2023: We've had this suction grab bar for nearly a year. I think it has fallen a maximum of maybe 3 times, but those happened AFTER I had cleaned the shower surround and I think I did not firmly reattach the bar in those instances. The springs have held up well. The bar helped make showering so much easier for my loved one with neuropathy. I've even found it handy for myself when dealing with mild vertigo for a short spell. One additional benefit I've observed after a year of use is that the smaller diameter of the grip portion of the bar is well-suited for those of us with smaller hands/shorter fingers than some of the other grip bars. For balance, this has been a solidly helpful aid.I bought this to replace the Carex suction grab bar my family member had been using for about a year; the springs were no longer functioning properly and the bar kept popping off the shower surround wall even after cleaning and using alcohol wipes). I wanted something that would be relatively secure with good sturdy springs, as my family member has balance issues due to neuropathy in his feet and legs, and has trouble with his balance. Also, my family member was coming home after an extended time in the hospital and a skilled nursing facility for physical rehabilitation, and I was concerned that he might even try to use the bar to help get up and down from the shower chair. I'm happy to say that, so far, this grab bar has served my family member's needs well, had held secure and has not loosened or popped off once in the entire time we've had it. I do check it regularly and have been impressed with its hold. The diameter of the bar is a bit smaller than the ones we've previously used, which actually makes it easier to grasp and hold. My family member has remarked several times how much he likes the 16-inch length (longer than prior bars we've used) and the bar's strong hold. As we are unable to install permanent safety rails in the studs because we rent, the Safe-er-Grip Bar has served as a solid alternative.

Easy to install. Excellent grip on flat surface. Tiles in the shower are big so I was able to install between the tile grout without any issues. Worth purchasing. No tools needed. Just need a flat area.

Bought this for the wife to prevent falls in the bathroom. We use primarily traveling in hotel rooms and recently on a cruise ship. It provides a handy and sturdy grip when needed.

Doesn't always hold to the tile surface, so be careful. I don't recommend using this to pull yourself up, but to stabilize yourself while standing is better. I used this handle to help me decide where to have grab bars installed in our shower and water-closet, it was a great learning tool. It also makes a nice moveable towel rack. Best if used on clean, dry, smooth flat surfaces, such as glass, tile, quartz, plastic. Will not stick to textured walls.
