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.”

Shower head holderStephanieOnly 3 stars because it doesn’t properly fit regular shower heads. It’s mostly for ikea shower heads but with a bit of stretching I can get my shower head to fit. The suction is almost TOO good sometimes it is difficult to move around. Other than that it does work
Great productAnonymous reviewerI bought this last week to help my child take shower. It is a great product but sadly my shower head hose does not sit well with this piece. It keeps on falling. Will be returning.
So far so goodAnonymous reviewerI have it on my acrylic shower, at first it didn't stay, but after adding some water, the suction finally stayed. It's been couple weeks and so far so good.
Perfect shower holderAnonymous reviewerIt’s a perfect holder for its price. The suction cup holds very tight. It’s great for people who have kids trying to learn to shower by themselves. I highly recommend it.
Shower holderKyungNot satisfied, doesnt hold my shower head.
Perfect for adjusting heightAnonymous reviewerI bought this so that I could lower my telephone shower head for washing my hair. It holds firmly to the ceramic tile, even with the pressure of the water flowing. Having the two different angle options are really useful. Very happy with my purchase.
Anonymous reviewerEasy to install, good to two holding angles. It fits any sizes of shower head handles.
Perfect bidet holderAnonymous reviewerNo need for screws, easy to install

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.”
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.
