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.

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.

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.

This is a great idea, but it doesn't work.

Before I saw the critical reviews I purchased 3 grips : 1 for myself, and 2 for gifts.

I diligently followed the directions, and attempted to install the grip. It sorta adhered to my tiled shower wall, but when I needed it, it failed, and came off in my hand! This is too dangerous.

I tried again. I woke up in the middle of the night by the crash of the grip falling to the floor.

I was pleasantly surprised by this product. After having knee replacement surgery I just need a grip for a short time and did not want to drill holes into the tile. Since the grip was so reasonably priced I was afraid of the quality but it has worked great.

This is exactly what we needed: a temporary bathtub/shower safety bar for which we did not need to drill into the wall. When we first got it, we had a little trouble with it coming loose; but we found that when we pushed it down hard onto the surface of the shower and then flipped the suction locks, it adhered perfectly. It hasn't come loose since! My 81-yr-old father found it very helpful while he was visiting us this past Christmas, and I was happy not to have to drill holes into the shower surround for it! I am very pleased with the product and with the fast delivery from the vendor, Unique Gifts.

Safety handle seemed very secure when installed per instructions;
however, later that day it fell off into the shower (which amplified
the sound creating a startling sound). Don't think this is a good idea
for even a balancing handle. Would return if I had the chance.

THIS PRODUCT IS POTENTIALLY UNSAFE!! IT DOES NOT STAY IN ONE SPOT AS THE SUCTION CUPS COME LOOSE! I HAVE LOST MY BALANCE TWICE BECAUSE OF THE HANDLE COMING LOOSE! SORRY BUT GREAT IDEA BUT THIS DID NOT WORK FOR ME!
I CLEANED THE AREA THROUGHLY BEFORE USING AND WITHIN ABOUT 24 HOURS IT WAS LOOSE!

The hand grips we purchased (2) have a very strong hold. Their length is such that we cannot attach them over our 4 1/4" tile without them being on a grout line. The instructons say not to have them on the grout but they seem to have a very good grip anyway. Good product.

this product works really well. no problems with the suction cups coming loose and its portable enough to move where you want it. also its the cheapest one i have found.
