These work! They really stick to my shower floor!!!!! They are the very best product I've found in my two year search!

Let me explain. I've tried all the brands at Home Depot, Lowe's & Ace.....and they all failed after just a few weeks use. And I went to extra steps to make sure it was the profuct that failed and not the result of poor installation procedures. On every product I used the same exact procedure:

1. Scrubbed the shower's tile floor with industrial green cleaner.
2. Rinsed with fresh clear water.
3. Using a hair dryer, directed it against the tile to make sure it was totally dry.
4. Scrubbed the tile with rubbing alcohol to make sure it was absolutely clean. Used the hair dryer again.
5. Wiped the tile with a clean cotton towel.
6. Peeled off the back of the product to expose the sticky back and, starting at one side, carefully laid the product on insuring that no bubbles appeared.
7. Using a wallpaper seam wooden roller, rolled the product with my full body weight to insure solid and uniform adhesion to the tile.
8. Finally, used the hair dryer to heat the adhesive on the product to insure uniform dispersion and contact of the adhesive with the tile.

I used the same exact procedure with all the Lowe's, Home Depot and Ace products, and the only one that uniformly stuck was this Amazon product "Safe-T-Shapes" made by Compac in Decatur, GA.

I've been so pleased, that I've ordered two more packages once again since my original Amazon purchase.

They come in white, do not fade (some others turned yellow) are constructed with pop-out centers making it easy to configure for corners of areas near the drain or sides.

So, if you want a great shower or tub non-skid application, order these Safe-T-Shapes made by Compac. You will be pleased with them for sure!

After my wife first installed these we thought we had found the answer to a problem we have had. Other appliques did not stick well at all. In a matter of days they came off. The same thing happened with these. It just took a few more days.
The appliques I had applied about 25 years ago almost had to be blasted off. Wish we could find some that would stick and stay stuck.

These stickers blend in pretty well with a white tub. You can certainly see them but they are not obnoxious like so many other non-slip stickers you can buy. The adhesive works great. They can be adjusted after you put them down, but they don't come off in the water. The small flower in the center pops out, leaving hollow large flowers and solid small flowers.

In case it is not obvious, you must start with a bone dry tub. The package says not to get them wet for a minimum of 4 hours but they recommend 24 hours. I didn't take a chance and gave it the full 24 hours. I haven't had any come loose at all and the non-slip coating seems pretty effective. I haven't tried pulling them up so I can't say how easy they would be to remove if you changed your mind.

Two packages is the perfect amount for a standard sized tub. I applied them in a random pattern (big ones first, then small ones in the gaps) rather than trying to get them perfectly spaced out in a repeating pattern like they show on the package.

I let my tub dry overnight then used these high quality stickers to make a safe tread pattern. I bought two packages and used most of them. The inside of the flowers punches out (like donut holes) to give you smaller ones to use also (on your tub rail for example). This white color blended in so well with my tub, I can't even see them.

it says this right on the package that these stickers aren't for use with textured surfaced tubs, although I didn't see this description on Amazon. they blend in well with my white tub, but probably bubble because of the textured (worn out) tub surface.
1/10 edit: I bought a second pack and these seem to be sticking better. I installed these 2 weeks ago during cooler temperatures, and were easier to apply. The first time I applied these was during a warmer day and the stickers were flimsier. I'm raising my rating to 4 stars for these stickers.
3/10 edit: sticking very well to the textured surface tub, without any signs of bubbling.

First put these in the tub many years ago. Some finally lifted and had to be replaced. First rate product. Sticks for years (at least 30) and makes the tub safe with no discomfort. They don't mold or mildew.

We purchased 2 packages of these which I would imagine that most people with a standard size tub would also need. Following the advice of another reviewer for this product I cleaned the tub, rinsed well with hot water, washed with 70 percent rubbing alcohol and then used a hair dryer to accelerate the complete drying process. Then I open the packages and removed the little centers from each decal.

After that I was able to place them in the design I wanted in the tub, without removing the backing yet. Then, one by one, I peeled the backing paper (you may need a razor or another sharp object to help you start the paper peeling process) and placed them in their respective spot. A word of caution, make certain you place it properly the first time, the adhesive is VERY strong! Once each one was placed down, I rolled something hard over each decal (you could use just about anything hard and round: aluminum tube, etc.) to make certain every spot of the decal was pressed firmly.

You can barely tell that the decals are there when showering, unlike those crazy bath-mats they have out now that can really hurt your feet.

We've had these installed now since July 2010 and I'm writing this review on October 5, 2010 and the decals are still doing fantastic! They haven't yellowed, peeled or anything yet. Of course we took the time to read AND follow the directions about properly using oil products (bubble bath) with these pure white decals.

I definitely recommend these!

I read all the reviews before I purchased this product.
I followed the "installation" instructions and also followed one of the "reviewers" recommendations by using my blow dryer to make sure that the daisies adhered well. These are exactly what I needed! My husband and I enlarged our master bedroom and added on a master bathroom about 12 years ago. At that time, we installed a shower, as well as a garden jacuzzi tub. Through the years, a small crack developed on the floor of the shower and then just recently, I noticed a little "chip" was missing. I was concerned about more "chipping" and possible leakage under the shower, into the floor, so I researched and found these daisies. I throughly cleaned the shower floor and applied three to the shower floor. They acover up the "chip" area and look as if they "belonged" there all along. I would recommend this product.

I purchased these a while back and they are still in perfect shape, no discoloration or peeling. Really keeps your feet from slipping.

Prior to purchasing this product getting in and out of the bath was quite treacherous, simply the bath was extremely slipy. After applying our experience was transformed. Now we can shower and bathe in comfort without worrying that someone was going to break a bone or get killed.
