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.”

Reviews
Misleading ImageryAnonymous reviewerBought to raise shampoo etc off the edge of the bath due to tiny fingers and constantly having to move them at bathtime.
I will admit, didn't see the flat surface warning.
We have mosaic style tiles, so nothing suctions to them, image shows this on mosaic tiles so thought I'd found a solution, bought 2, waste of money.
Disappointed, back to the drawing board!
DisappointedAnonymous reviewerBrought this in the bargain basement
Except to work
But the suction on the one end keeps falling off , waiting to take it back
Bad stickingAnonymous reviewerIt doesn’t stick well to wall. Only started using it since August and it fell today. My shampoo pump broke because of the fall. Useless.
Excellent for temporary accommodationAnonymous reviewerOur son’s new student en-suite bathroom was lacking in shelf space and this was perfect. Stuck well to the tiled walls and fit all his lotions and potions without causing damage. We bought two so he had a clear sink to work with.
Simplicity and affordabilityAnonymous reviewerI just love it's minimalist design and functionality. Reasonable price is a bonus.
BasketAnonymous reviewerTurned out not to be white enough for unit but I’m sure I can find somewhere else to put it
BrilliantAnonymous reviewerBought this not expecting much but my goodness it has not moved at all from the position.Though it would fall off like other brands do but no it's fab.Will be buying another couple of these.Fantastic for the bathroom even when is steamy.
TiskenAnonymous reviewerA great addition to the shower
Really goodAnonymous reviewerSticks well to non-shiny tiles. Good size to fit all my bathroom shampoo/conditioner etc in. Really good!
Works wellAnonymous reviewerSticks to our tiles fine so far and his a good amount and weight of product.
Holes in basket and suction cup difficult to cleanAnonymous reviewerAll holes made just middle of bottom in a basket, most of water will still stay at the bottom especially all around the edges.
Wall plugs was hard to cleanup and after sometime it will fell off and get mold. Also it is hard to cleaning.
Please roll out some parts to sell instead replace a whole new one.
Tisken basket with suction cupAnonymous reviewerExcellent. Holds plenty of weight ( shampoo/ shower gel bottles and holds on shower tiles really well
Good itemAnonymous reviewerBought this for my shower. I'm amazed at the suction the 2 mounts have. Well impressed.
Making space.Anonymous reviewerThis is a much needed item for bath products. Keeping the edges of the bath clear at all times. It stayed up for 3 weeks and then just fell off the bath tiles one day. Maybe I will not fill it so much next time.
Actually worksAnonymous reviewerHaving tried many suction storage solutions in the bathroom and all have been awful, thought might as well give this one a try. Followed the instructions perfectly and we’ve got at least 8 bottles in it, not fallen once and we’ve had it for months. Going to buy more, perfect.
Shower shelfAnonymous reviewerThis is spot on for the shampoo in the shower area so they aren’t on the floor making the shower tray easier to clean after use 👍🏼
Awesome Anonymous reviewerAbsolutely awesome as always, easy to install
Good product overall Anonymous reviewerThe size is a bit big so not ideal for a shower, better for a bathtub
Great productAnonymous reviewerSuits ok the bathroom. Easy to install.
Really good quality Anonymous reviewerPopped this on side of dressing table for hair bits and bobs holds fair weight and leaves dressing table clutter free

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.
