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.”

Great productAnnetteActually stays not like other suction hooks. Love these!!! Have them all through my house
Very strong suction Kitlove it with different color
Good solid hooksLauriePerfect for our caravan use in our ensuite
Keeps falling off wallElizabethI am one of the many unlucky purchasers that these hooks don't work for. No amount of cleaning, careful placement would stop them from falling off the wall. 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.
HooksKellieI have brought these to hang our shower sponges on within the bathroom and is awesome and very practical to use and I love the colours because it adds a little colour to the bathroom
Didn’t stick to wallSusanDidn’t stick to the wall and didn’t like the hot weather. Probably we’re not appropriate for where I wanted them to stay inside garage wall
Portable hooksMariePortable hooks, great suction but only to use on glass and tiles
Happy, will buy moreAnonymous reviewerIt took a bit of pressure to get it to suction on properly but once I did, it was stuck tight. Holding an adult sized terry toweling robe on a gloss painted door no worries. Will buy more.
Doesn't perform it's only job (be a hook)CrystalI'm not sure what the ideal surface for these is, but it's not walls.
Work very wellJessicaThese work well, they are strong and functional. I’ve put a couple in the bathrooms and also my sons room
DONT BUYSrishtiThese don’t work as promised. They come off everyday. We put them back and next thing you hear is these dropping again. Really bad suction.
Easy to install & great colourYuliaEasy to install and hoping it will stick well on other surface (non-tile)
Very versatile and decorative hooksGuyeVery strong adhesion, reusable, great colors, looking good on any wall or window, amazing price.
Strong & stickyBarryBought for towels and dressing gowns. Still holding 3 weeks later
Great in tiled bathroom with nearly NO fixtures!DianaI think I found the one of the most awkward rentals. The large bathroom with a separate tub, shower & single sink vanity unit has a single towel bar installed awkwardly behind the shower door - so it cannot be accessed unless you are outside of the shower, and it is over 2m from the bath tub. So, these suction hooks are awesome on the exterior edge of the glass shower door for holding towels. I also use them in the kitchen & laundry room on the backsplash & wall tiles for laundry peg bags, oven mitts, and aprons. Very versatile uses. Make sure you are using on glass or high gloss, sealed tiles (my last rental had really old tiles that had lost the seal of its glaze & the suction cups couldn't keep a seal and perpetually fell down).
Very practical and colorfulAnnaUseful everywhere
really stableChloereally stable

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.
