(More customer reviews)I am an occupational therapist who does homehealth with geriatric patients. I am constantly searching for certain adaptive equipment to make my patients' bathrooms safer.As unfortunate as it is, many people are unwilling to give up aesthetics for safety! That means they won't install real grab bars into their tiled showers because it will mess up their tile.
That's where this product comes in handy.I looked at several different brands before purchasing this one for my patients.I have since tried it on many different surfaces and it works with varying results depending on where you position it.
I've tried it on walls - it sticks...for about 1/2 hour. Don't do it. You'll end up hurting yourself!Even if your wall isn't textured it will come off.
If you're using it as a handle on the edge of your bathtub to get in/out, it'll work great! That sucker will not come off no matter how hard you tug on it. Plus, it's not high enough to catch your legs when you're trying to get your legs over the edge (thinking more of geriatric patients who have hip and knee range of motion problems).
In the actual shower area, your results again are varied.Your best bet is a shower that has a smooth surface, like laminate or faux tile.However, I've had fairly good results with tiled showers too. Just make sure that at least one of the suction cups is exclusively over a tiled area and not a grout area. Sometimes the grout lines don't provide the surface area that the cup needs to get a tight suction.
So the long and short of it is make sure you are putting this on a surface that can get a good seal.Let the grab bar sit un-used for about 4-5 hours. If it would fall off, it will on its own during this time. After that, if it's still on, you're probably good to go. But I'd tug on it a few times to make sure.
The first time I bought it, I did a few test runs on surfaces in my own home. I decided that I'd hold onto the box and all packaging and not hesitate to return it if it didn't work out.So far I've placed 4 of them in patients' homes and that says a lot because I'm the one on the line if they don't work out.
