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 series puts things within easy reach without having to drill any holes into your walls. The tight-grip suction cups won’t let go of smooth surfaces like glass or tiles – unless you want them to.

Great value for moneyAnonymous reviewerQuick & efficient click & collect service
Easy to fix & good quality
It doesn't stickAnonymous reviewerIt won't stick to clean glass, which is what we wanted it for (although it says it does) so pretty useless to us. 🙁
Soap trayAnonymous reviewerLove this soap tray sticks to the tiles really well. Good quality
Great soap dishAnonymous reviewerGreat design with the sucker that sticks to shower wall panels
Possible errorAnonymous reviewerThe slotted dish is below the tray??? Should be the other way to be useful!
Soap dishAnonymous reviewerI bought several items from this range. Good quality, they look stylish and the suction is a superior quality to high street versions....it is solid.
Strong suction but flexibleAnonymous reviewerLove the suction cups which are strong but can be removed with a bit of muscle and then just put somewhere else.
Quality easy to cleanAnonymous reviewerThis is a great easy to clean soap dish. Holds quite a large bar of soap, has an internal plate which you just lift out to wash /clean. The suction cup stuck first time onto my ceramic tiles. Love it, in fact I'm going to buy another one for the shower.
Tisken soap dish with suction cupAnonymous reviewerExcellent product. Neat and does the job. Holds very well on tiles
Good product overallAnonymous reviewerEasy to clean - it comes in parts that you can re assemble easily after cleaning. Perfect for getting some space back on your sink especially in small bathrooms.
StickyAnonymous reviewerActually sticks brill
Won't stick on tilesAnonymous reviewerHave all the other products from this range that have used for months on the same tiles but this one will not stick not matter what I've tried.
Tried the rest of the range, this was the only one which actually stuck!Anonymous reviewerI bought the whole range for this collection, I don't have a way to drill (complicated renting situation) so had been relying in this set to hold things. In this case I have used this "soap dish" to hold my razors.
The rest of the range? Rubbish! Doesn't stick, won't stay up no matter how clean and flat the wall is. But for some reason this soap dish has been the only item from the range that actually stays put! (At least for a couple of months at a time...)
I am wary of buying more just because I've seen the other reviews and actually have tried the rest of the range and know how pot-luck it seems to be as to whether or not it sticks to the tiles or not, and I'm not here to waste time messing around. If it works it's great. If it fails you'll know pretty early on in which case don't waste energy convincing yourself you did something wrong, they don't all work and it's not down to anything but luck and if you manage to find one without suction flaws. I wouldn't risk it again myself
Won’t stickAnonymous reviewerJust can’t get it to stick tried everything
Soap holder Anonymous reviewerGreat easy to put up
Rubbish!Anonymous reviewerWon’t stick to clean, dry, plain tiles just keeps pinging off. There’s only a wee bar of soap on it. And yes, I took the cover off the suction pad!
Soap dishAnonymous reviewerNot used yet but going by other items in range it will be just as good
BrilliantAnonymous reviewerHave a few of these in my bathroom great idea
not worth itAnonymous reviewerdoes not stick to any of the below mentioned surfaces. Throughly wiped but falls off instantly, even waited 24 hours
Falls off the tiles within minutesAnonymous reviewerThe product should be re-named: 'Krapp' soap dish. Stick soap dish on tiles as instructed (or try ANY possible variation on fixing it to tiles). Leave bathroom... Wait 5 minutes or so... plastic sounding clatter noise alerts you to the fact it has fallen off the tiled wall yet AGAIN!! Utterly & completely useless.

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.
