Suction Shower Handle - Reviews

PLEASE NOTE: Most of the suction cups devices (unless specified differently in the individual review for a particular handle)  will not work on a porous surface such as fiberglass. The devices must be applied to smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces. They CANNOT be applied over grout lines and will not work on textured surfaces. We also recommend reapplying the grab bar once a week. The devices cannot support full body weight.

SIMPLE TOOL-FREE INSTALLATION: A suction bar is easy to install or remove from the tub or shower walls with using the locking latches. User make sure the surface where applied is clean and free of any moisture. A pressure of 10 lbs must be applied to ensure the device is clamped properly.
