Product Description

Deep tubs can pose a problem for short people or youngsters, when trying to stand up. Even with non?slip accessories on the bottom, the reach and grip can be difficult, particularly for the elderly. Make your bath and bathroom safer with a bath safety grip handle for the side of the tub. This handy feature allows for a secure grip by any size hand, and is designed to make a comfortable hold for those with arthritis. Provide that extra stability and security that your family needs for their own safety, with this easily mounted handle that detaches and packs away for travel, too. Suction attach, no tools necessary. Fits any tub/shower. 12 inches long. Each suction foot is 3 inches in diameter. Handle is 1 inch wide for easy gripping.

1.0 out of 5 stars Safety First, March 12, 2008

INSTANT BATH TUB SHOWER SAFETY GRIP SUCTION HANDLE This product is very unsafe. Even when you believe it is secure, over time it releases itself. Usually, you would purchase this item to assist personal stability under, what can be, dangerous conditions. The unreliability and tile limitations associated with this product make it a poor choice. Value your personal safety and look for a more permanent solution for safety grip needs in bathroom areas. Value the safety of your family and self and do not purchase this grip.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, if it worked, March 24, 2008

This safety handle would be great if it worked. It would not work on tile because the groves between the tiles made the seal not work. I put it on the tub which worked until the shower steam made the seal release. I tried it many times and never could get it to stay.

1.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE FOR ELDERLY, April 24, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase

I would urge customers not to purchase this product based upon our experience. When we received the "safety" bar we read the easy instructions and made sure that the grip was fastened appropriately with the red side showing - indicating it was locked. However, when ny elderly grandmother attempted to use it to get out of the tub it came right off the wall. She is a tiny woman weighing only 98 lbs. Had her helper not been with her she would have fallen and certainly injured herself seriously. If you are someone who can withstand a fall then by all means purchase. Otherwise, please get something more permanent.
