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.”

BrilliantAnonymous reviewerGreat value for such a sturdy item impressive
Suction problemAnonymous reviewerThe large suction cup seems to stick firmly when you first attach it to the wall. In my case, bathroom tiles which I cleaned beforehand. Several hours later I heard a noise from the bathroom. The suction had failed and my tooth brush and holder were on the floor. Tried it again two more times with the same result. I threw out the suction cup and kept the container.
Tisken toothbrush holder with suction cupAnonymous reviewerSuper. Simple neat design and does the job. Holds on tiles very well 👌
Good product overall Anonymous reviewerGood for saving sink space especially for smaller bathrooms. Easy to clean.
Bathroom basin less clutteredAnonymous reviewerPerfect size for a small tiled area above bathroom basin, and surprisingly strong.
excellentAnonymous reviewerstick so well on the wall. love this item so much.
Doesn't workAnonymous reviewerFollowed the instructions as stated - wiped down tile surface, dried it, removed covering and placed it firmly on the tile - it fell after a couple of minutes and continued to do so after retrying a couple of times. Disappointing
Not just for toothbrushes. Anonymous reviewerThese are super for placing on the inside of the ‘under the sink’ cupboard to keep bin liners and rolled up plastic bags in, an idea I saw on social media. Works brilliantly.
Disappointed Anonymous reviewerStuck for a few hours,then popped off.even placed item so there was NO weight bearing and it's till popped after a few hours
Great product Anonymous reviewerFor the price a real bargain, seems to be well made and really easy to place on the wall
Terrific!Anonymous reviewerThis is an amazing product which I got for my partner! It sticks to the bathroom tiles like glue and looks very nice indeed! He loves it!!!
Useful holder for bathroom Anonymous reviewerImpulse buy in store. Meant to be for toothbrushes but there were no photos or illustrations where the Range was displayed. Found this works well as a shampoo bottle holder above the bath!
Fitting instructions could be better - just a few diagrams. Not obvious at all that the round part needs to be pushed quite hard after the hook is stuck to tiles.
Not sure how easy it will be to keep clean inside.
HandyAnonymous reviewerVery handy and it stays in place. I have been using this IKEA set for years.
RubbishAnonymous reviewerBought last week in Nottingham , now home in Norwich, will not stay on cleaned tiles even without the cup attached it falls off within a minute, tried multiple times. Bought the soap dish as well ,haven’t tried that yet but don’t expect it to stay up, waste of money
To hold my razor in the showerAnonymous reviewerThis is great along with the larger shampoo and shower gel containers. Would be excellent if you made them in a clear / transparent plastic. They would then be less surgical in appearance.
Used for over 6 months solid and not fallen off the wall Anonymous reviewerUsed for over 6 months solid and not fallen off the wall
RubbishAnonymous reviewerI don’t recommend this item. Doesn’t hold on the wall for long. One word: Rubbish
Remained intact even after caravan accident!Anonymous reviewerI don’t often leave reviews but thought it worthwhile to leave one for this toothbrush holder. After an impact to our caravan where the majority of the bathroom was destroyed, the trusty little toothbrush holder was still on the remaining part of the mirror with all toothbrushes and toothpaste intact!
Excellent holder.Anonymous reviewerNot only is this excellent for my toothbrush, I bought a second one to store my razor.
it fell down Anonymous reviewergot it for my bathroom, all instructions were followed. I attached it to the wall, after 15 minutes it fell down and the same every time. Gone to the rubbish bin

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.
