TAILIGrab Bars for Bathtubs and Showers 2 Pack Suction Grab Bar, Heavy Duty Shower Handle Removable Bath Handrails for Seniors and Elderly, Bathroom Safety Grip No Drilling Waterproof,Grey

We ordered these grab bars for our acrylic shower/tub enclosure following husband’s knee replacement surgery. We wanted safe, secure handholds without having to drill through the acrylic to try to find studs for support of other types of bars. The product arrived in 2 days and was well packaged, including a protective plastic cover over the rubber (slightly tacky) suction ends. This cover keeps the pads free from debris that might impair the seal, so leave them in place till ready to install. (I took one off before I realized the pad was slightly tacky, so I replaced it till we were ready.) The slight tackiness of the pads was sufficient to temporarily hold the bars in place on the freshly cleaned and dried flat surface while we decided if positioning was good. Once we were sure, the instructions were followed to firmly attach the bars using the levers/latches to apply suction. We were both very impressed how secure the bars are once installed! It has been a week now, and they are still very tightly attached - so much so that even testing by trying to pull them off (without releasing the vacuum) did not loosen them at all. We feel very secure using these bars and would definitely recommend them to anyone with such a need - and they look good, too. Just be sure you follow the directions for installation - clean surfaces well (and air dry to avoid lint) and be sure that the location is perfectly flat so the suction pads can seal well. (We had to avoid subtle curves and a slightly raised diamond design in parts of our enclosure.) Press down firmly on each lever (while still in the open/vertical position) to force out air from under the pad, and then, while still pressing, fold the lever down. It only takes a minute to install each bar after the chosen location is cleaned and ready.

Perfect for the feeling of safety in the shower. We have 1ft sq tile walls in large shower. The tiles do have fine texture to them but after cleaning the wall areas where we were applying them and using the grout lines to get them level they went up uber easy. The hardest part was getting the protective plastic suction cup covers off. I was afraid I'd damage them but they came off without issue. Follow the directions about squaring up the cup cover and then applying pressure to the lever toward the wall and flipping then over. Start to finish I put up four of them in less than 10 mins. The strength of the grip seems strong, I weigh 250 and put a substantial lean on them with NO sense of give at all. They look exactly like the pictures and we couldn't be more pleased with this solution.

My gmas apartment complex restored her apartment recently and they forgot to put these back even after being told to. My grandmother had a fall and almost hit her head on the toilet but managed to fall another way and injured her foot. So I got her these, thankfully it didn't just rip off the wall like the one review and seems to be perfect!

Since my wife and I are older, we're more conscious of safety around our home. That means adding a couple of handle bars to our shower. I didn't want to have to drill through my porcelain tile to attach metal bars, so I chose the suction cup style. These seem to work so far. I read the reviews about people who experienced theirs falling off after a while. I really think that if you apply them to the right clean surface (mine is smooth faced porcelain tile) and follow the instructions for pushing the suction cups towards the surface before locking them down. They immediately stuck very tight and haven't budged in a week of showers. It helps to mount them vertically so as to better balance weight distribution. I chose the metallic finish to try and match the fixtures in my shower. Should have chosen white! These look like someone used a pump sprayer bottle to apply silver paint over sandpaper! I know they're plastic, but compare them to the plastic shower head I purchased at a retail store that actually looks like metal! I've given them a '4' star rating but primarily because they work; they'd get a '1' based on looks alone otherwise! The instructions clearly state that these are not to be used to support your full body weight but to help you balance yourself while getting in/out or maneuvering. And for that, they work well If you need more support you'll need to consider the bolt on kind!

These handles once in position seem to be stuck forever. I first installed them in my tiled shower and did not like them there. Removing them took some effort. I love these handles now that I have repositioned them. I don't ever put my full weight on them, but they are great for assistance to not fall while showering.

I need some assistance getting in/out of the shower because of recent surgery. So, I bought these to use at my daughter's house when I visit. They were the best purchase! As you can see I only used one on the shower door. The other one was used beside the toilet (not pictured) on a painted wall. And they stayed on perfectly. They're very strong when attached properly. I visited for a week and never had a problem with the grab bars. They were equally as strong and helpful. When I left my daughter removed the bars and put them in the box they came in. Ready for my next visit if needed. The price was reasonable & well worth my safety. They look great and the weight of these bars is substantial. I'm very happy with this product. Thank you!

We are so used to just stepping into our shower that when we have to step into a tub it’s a challenge! These grippers were easy to install and made our step so much more confident!

Worked perfectly in our shower. Unfortunately , as instructions stated on box, it did not adhere to our painted bathroom wall.
