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.”

Tisken corner shelf unit with suction cupAnonymous reviewerExcellent product. Used in the shower placed on tiles and holds really well! Useful size for toiletries
Doesn’t stick to my tilesAnonymous reviewerGood quality box but unfortunately doesn’t stick to my tiles so is now sat in the floor of the shower cubicle
Corner shower shelf Anonymous 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 👍🏼
Shower cubicle storageAnonymous reviewerDoes what it says it will! No slips or drops - still attached securely to the tiles after many months. Easy to install & to clean.
Wouldn't stick to the tilesAnonymous reviewerI've bought these in the past and they were excellent in the shower but needed new ones,I've found that the suction pads aren't as good and they keep coming off the tiles which is very frustrating as every day I'm having to keep pushing them back on or pick them off the base of the shower and replace them back on the tiles and there are only two items in each one so very disappointed this time with them .
does not stickAnonymous reviewerThis is useless as it does not stick. Fell off, on my feet and hurt my toes.
Best shower accessories Anonymous reviewerYou need to press the suctiin pads hard. Then they will stick in place. Very easy to use very easy to apply. No holes in tiles. Can hold alot of things.
GreatAnonymous reviewerAfter trying many other types, I find these are the only ones that stick and stay
Shower tidy doesn't fit our shower cubicle Anonymous reviewerGreat idea, but our cubicle is unusual set up and this shape couldn't fit. Not IKEA 's fault as product is great.
Shower storageAnonymous reviewerVery easy to install and very sturdy
BestAnonymous reviewerThe best we’ve ever bought. Great price. Sticks to the tiles and hasn’t budged - even fully loaded with new products.
What a grip!Anonymous reviewerEasy to assemble, excellent grip to the wall. Value for money.
Quick and easy bathroom shelvingAnonymous reviewerThese are so great. The suction on them is so powerful and they stay in place. I was fed up of a row of shower gels along the side of my bath and it’s tidied the place right up. Even bought a second one for the other shower because it was so good!
Great idea!Anonymous reviewerThey all fell off or slipped during the night. Weight well below max weight. Shoer was scrubbed clean and bone dry before installing them on tiles that are smooth. Was also not stuck over grout. I will be taking them all back tomorrow for a refund.
Great shower storageAnonymous reviewerVery quick and easy to install. Holds lots and stays well fixed to the wall. Much more convenient than having to get the drill out.
Very happy with this item Anonymous reviewerI love this item as it looks great in my new bathroom. The suckers are amazing. I had a chrome one before the new replacement and it’s great. The old one got very grubby looking but this one will be so easily cleaned
Doesn’t stay in placeAnonymous reviewerDoesn’t stay in place falls off

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.
