The team found the solution in a synthetic rubber that proved to be better at attaching to different surfaces and filling out any unevenness so that air can’t get in. “We tried the suction cups with the new material, both in a test lab and in peoples homes, to make sure that a stable vacuum is created and that the suction cups stay where you want them.”

Tiskin corner caddyKGreat size but suction cups won't stick to wall?? Got 1 side to stick the other side will not!
Great for bathroom useSeanSecond time purchasing these. Easy to setup and clean. Tried out stainless steel racks from Bunnings and they just start rusting overtime. Whereas these you just have to remove and give it a good scrub and they’re good as new.
Very good product HelenSuctions very well, able to have shampoo and conditioners in them and holds when using pump bottles
Long bolster pillow.SengPerfect size I was looking for.
Keeps falling off wallElizabethI am one of the many unlucky purchasers that these suction hooks don't work for. No amount of cleaning, careful placement would stop them from falling off the wall with a huge clatter because of the added bulk of the corner shelf unit. I'm so disappointed they don't work on my bathroom tiles, they look like there are well designed (sigh). They lasted no more than 2 minutes without load before they fell down. Repeated attempts to reattach to wall all failed.
Compact & Effective Shower Storage UnitTonyWe know have two of these in the corner of our shower space, away from the shower and taps. Between the two of them they carry all our requirements for the shower, and take up minimal space.
Works great!JaninePurchased another shelf that kept falling down but this one stays up and holds all the shower needs in one.
Holding onto the wall....Mitchell "Even on sleek tile walls, the vacuum seal can be compromised by barely noticeable dirt or limescale."
Therefore use alcohol, clean and polish the target tile area, This will work 99.9%
Also, use a level to distribute the strain on the cups evenly.
Those suckers are here to stay..." :)

Awkward to mountCarinaI've bought other Tisken suction cup holders for the bathroom that have worked great but found the corner unit awkward to mount and kept falling off. Not sure what else I can do to get it to stay up.
Great suctionSamanthaI have 2 of the in the corner of my shower. 1 for the squeegee and scrubbing brush and the other has all of my face cleansers and shampoo. Been hung for about 6 months and they have never fallen, even with the weight. I have bought the smaller one to hold tooth brush/paste and some for my mum's house. The best

Story
Better grip for flexible storage
The moveable suction cup is a smart wall mount for flexible bathroom storage. The only problem is that it can come off after a while. Suddenly you hear a thump in the bathroom, and the shampoo bottle is on the floor. So, how do you make the suction cup attach better? Product developer Kristofer Adsegård and his colleagues – responsible for TISKEN bathroom series – wanted to find out.
Kristofer and the team started by studying in detail how a suction cup works. “It attaches because there’s a vacuum between the suction cup and the surface. But, if air comes in, the vacuum breaks and plop – your hanger comes off. It can be something small, like dirt and limescale on the wall, or tiny irregularities on the tile that eventually let air in,” says Kristofer.
Rubber that seals tight
The suction cup becomes like new again
To make your TISKEN bathroom series last longer, it’s important to handle the suction cups right. Kristofer explains that you shouldn’t pull the hook or other parts to make them come off, since it can damage the grip. “To release the vacuum, it’s better to use your bank card, or some other plastic card, between the suction cup and the wall. And, if you put the suction cup in water near boiling point for a few minutes, and then air dry it, it will become almost like new again.”
Material
Bathrooms can get wet…very wet!
We know how important it is to design the right furniture for different types of bathrooms. That’s why many of our bathroom storage units and accessories are made of plastic – perfectly suited for shower/bath spaces. Choose from VESKEN, TISKEN and BOLMEN series for a functional bathroom with extra storage – where you can bathe, shower and splash as much as you like, without worrying about exposing your furniture to too much water.
Function solution
Better grip for flexible storage
Why do suction cups come off the wall after a while? That fact made us so frustrated that we detail studied the vacuum technique. We noticed that barely visible dirt or limescale breaks the vacuum seal, even on smooth tile walls. So, for TISKEN bathroom series we looked for a new rubber material that seals better and fills out small uneven spots on the wall. Now you don’t have to wake up in the middle of the night from the sound of the shampoo bottle thumping on the floor.
