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.”

One side doesn’t stay onAnonymous reviewerRubbish, one side of the suction doesn’t stay on,had it a while before started to use it and it was too late to return
Shower basketAnonymous reviewerThe suction cups made it easy to install. It has room for everything you need.
Seems to have a firm hold and hasn’t fallen off yet!!
almost returnedAnonymous reviewerThe sticky pads aren't very sticky at all so I didn't have high hopes. I pushed hard on our cleaned, smooth tiles for a good five minutes and it stayed up for nearly 24 hours before falling. It was then that I noticed the sticky pads are actually shaped like suction cups so I tried again and this time pushed my entire body weight (53kg) on them with my heels and backside pushing against the opposite wall of the shower. And so far after nearly a week it is holding up with two light pump bottles that I have even pressed right in the caddy and it hasn't budged. If it falls again though it's going in the bin.
UsefulAnonymous reviewerGreat storage but only sticks well on smooth, glossy tiles or surfaces.
PerfectAnonymous reviewerThis is very easy to use and just requires a firm push to fix it to the wall.
UselessAnonymous reviewerDoes not stick to tiles despite following the instructions and cleaning them beforehand. Thought my back was gonna give up from pressing into the sticker hooks so hard yet it stays up for 2 minutes then falls off the wall. Useless and a waste of plastic.
Not stickingAnonymous reviewerFollowed instructions on how to install but the suction did not work as it kept falling off within seconds. I am so disappointed. I have used a similar one in the past which was really good so this latest experience is very shocking.
SturdyAnonymous reviewerEasy to install
Suction mechanism useless!!!Anonymous reviewerVery disappointed. Followed instructions and suction doesn’t work. Falls off within a minute. I cleaned and dried the bathroom tiles before and followed instructions meticulously. So disappointing. And they expect me to believe it can carry 3kg load!? What a joke. Binned it immediately. Waste of time
This is not very goodAnonymous reviewerNo matter how hard I try this does not stick to my bathroom tile
GreatAnonymous reviewerDoes what it says & looks good 😊 put to use in the shower.
TISKENAnonymous reviewerGood quality for the price
Looks good in bathroomAnonymous reviewerSo useful in all sorts of places and the fixtures so strong
Works better than I imagined it would.Anonymous reviewerI bought this to stick to my bathroom wall for washable face cloths, it was easy to install and is sturdy. I'm amazed how well the sticking pads work.
quality not consistentAnonymous revieweri bought this to replace an identical suction shower caddy i’ve been using for over a year, which has been holding heavy bottles (well over 1kg) without any issues. unfortunately, the new one is very disappointing. the suction quality is noticeably weaker and it does not stick securely to the same tiles, even with minimal weight. this suggests an inconsistency in product quality. i expected the same standard as my previous one, but this feels poorly made in comparison. will be returning it or asking for a refund
Shockingly badAnonymous reviewerThis does not stay on a tiled bathroom wall, it falls off after a very short time and certainly can't hold any items! It's also surprisingly big compared to how it appears in the photo, it sticks out from a wall loads making it unsightly and inconvenient.
Keeps falling off the wallAnonymous reviewerKeeps falling off the wall even with nothing in it.
A fab item for bathroom storageAnonymous reviewerThis is the best idea, we have this in our bathroom attached to the tiles and in a corner shape in our caravan. The only downside is that I've noticed you can't buy the suction cups separately anymore? It's a bargain though and works very well for our needs. It holds toiletries well.
piece of capAnonymous reviewerdoes not stick to tiles at all. rubbish.
Very cheap qualityAnonymous reviewerIt doesn’t stick on the wall and I still waiting to return it as the other order

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.”
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.
