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 suction!JuanI’ve been always skeptical when it comes to suction ones in the bathroom, but this one is mind blowing, hold it good heavy items.
Excellent qualityNoureenGood holding power
It doesn’t stay on!JulieThe caddie simply just doesn’t stay on, even by itself with no content! Do not buy if you have textured stone panel in the shower. We followed the instructions, cleaned the area, wetting the suction, everything. It will always fall few hours later.
Was a giftDebbieMy parental unit needed a better storage system for the shower.
TiskenSimoneexcellent addition to our shower - organizes and keeps other surfaces clear
Suction for me is great. AngelaHad it for 9 months now with heavy large bottles on and it’s never once dropped. I did wet the suction slightly before applying and my tile is glossy.
DO NOT BUYTaylorI am very disappointed in this product. I followed the instructions, cleaned the area, ensured it was dry and it fell within 20min WHILE EMPTY.
Perfect StorageMarkThis little sucker holds to the wall very well. I was impressed.
Shower Caddy JudyI was hesitant as to whether this would stay in place. So far so good. Lots of room to store products, excellent quality and very easy to clean. I am using it on a fibreglass shower and it has no problem staying in place. Exactly what I was looking for.
Serves its purpose — good suctionSandra AniellaBeen using this for almost a year now and I never had any issues with it. Suction is good. You just have to clean and dry the area first before sticking it. I put all my bathing products in it, and it has never fallen down. I also prefer this because I can place it at a height that works best for me compared to those over-head shower caddy that ends up sitting too high. It’s pretty spacious and has a bunch of drain holes too.
Keep falling downGaryAfter attached to the tiles, it keep falling down. Have to spend $6 and 2 hours on public transit to return a $10 item.
Doesn’t stick for longShannonAfter having this fall for the third time in the middle of the night, I am done with it. It sticks for a while but will eventually fall at an inconvenient time, causing the loudest disturbance.
The BEST!Anonymous reviewerDon't hesitate to buy this shower basket if you need extra storage and you are tired of cumbersome, rusty shower head caddies. I've had this for quite a few months now along with two other pieces in this series and I have just purchased more. We have the basket, cup, soap dish and hooks! BEST Ikea product hands down. Easy to clean, and it is so sturdy that we can pump our shampoo from the basket without any budging!
Nice! MinjungGood working
Tile and glass ONLYRuthI bought this thinking it would work to hold cleaners in a tiny laundry closet. There is just enough space for it between the washer/dryer unit and the wall. Sadly, the suction cups didn't stick to either the drywall or the side of the dryer. Why would metal be different than tile or glass?
STAYS ONDanutaI had many storage baskets with suction cups - this one is amazing, suction cups stay on and never fall off despite the weight of many items stored in the container
Multi purpose product AyshaI use these all over my house! They are renter friendly and easy to move around. I.love them!
Excellent TatianeExcellent, Very good
SizeNelsonLooks odd in shower; also the suction cup seems to be a one time use only

Story
Better grip for flexible storage
The movable 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, STUGVIK 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.
