1.0 out of 5 stars Handle for Bathroom/Bathtub Exit, April 8, 2008

By	Paul F. Borges (Blackstone, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This shower safety grip suction bar is by far the worst product I have ever purchased online. It is particularly horrifying to imagine the consequences of what could later happen when the suction cups repeatedly fell off after attachment to my bathroom walls (usually 12 to 24 hours later). Almost definitely, a person could be seriously hurt when climbing out of the tub. The grip handle did not stay attached to any of my walls, such as marble, glass, plaster or tile. Not only did I waste $24.00, I feel I was falsely misled by the misleading advertising claims of this product. I hope no one finds out the hard way this product is worthless.

5.0 out of 5 stars I think I've solved the suction problem with an easy trick!, November 8, 2008

By	LooneyFern - See all my reviews

Have been using this product for quite a while now and in the beginning I too had problems with the suction starting to loosen up after about 10-15 uses. The product information states that you should check the handle every so often in case you need to re-apply the suction and for safety's sake this is a very good idea. Also, all walls are not created equal...ours has large tiles and the suction cups just barely fit between the edges of the tile.

The instructions say to make sure the suction cups are well cleaned and perfectly dry before attaching to the wall (which I even cleaned them with alcohol and let them dry beforehand). Good for about a week but not good enough as I use these to assist an invalid relative 4-5 times a day.

Discussed the problem with another relative (who is a jack-of-all-trades fixer-upper) and he suggested trying the Vaseline trick.....Taking just a teeny tiny amount and rubbing it smoothly over the flat suction cup area (the side that suctions to the wall) to help create a more "airless" suction.

Well, after applying a very small amount of the petroleum jelly, and I'm talking barely rubbing my finger in the jar (smaller than a pea-size portion) and then rubbing the vaseline smoothly and evenly over the entire cup area, I was pleased to find that the suction was greatly improved. (I did have to gently slide one cup back and forth a few times for the suction to really take hold.)

RESULT: The handles have remained intact and strong on our bathroom tiles now for the past three weeks. NOTE: **I still check them periodically to make sure that there is no looseness or side slippage.**

Now I'm not saying this will work for all kinds of walls but its a trick that's well worth trying for those of you who have already purchased a safety grip handle. I hope this helps you! Good Luck!
