Did not work on my tile that has a little bit of texture. Only works on the smoothest of surfaces. Will have to return.

I had a knee replacement and there was some question regarding safety in the shower.
Prior to the surgury, I ordered the grab bar and installed it in our shower stall. The portability is what sold me. I did NOT want to drill holes in the shower stall and install a permanent grab bar. Also, the location of the bar was in question.
I had to wait ten days after the surgery before I could shower. The day of the first shower was pure pleasure. I hung on to the grab bar and let that warm water flow for a good ten minutes. The previous ten days, all I could have were sponge baths - often called a submarine douche. Very incomplete!!
I doubt that I could have stood less than a minute in the shower if I did not have the Bridge Medical grab bar.

I did much research on this type of item and found this to have the quality and safety features I was interested in. The only downside to this product is that it needs to be taken off the wall after each use. I left it adhered and within 24hrs it was on the floor of the shower. I thought it would be a more permanent fixture than that. I didn't read this on the product description, only on the insert of the product after purchase.

We purchased 4 of these suction cup grab bars for my Mother-in-law who had broken her hip and need extra stability in her bath room. I mounted 2 in her shower, 1 near her toilet, and 1 on her sink area. She loves them. We had looked at some of the cheaper models, but wanted something that would not slip or come loose.
I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a product like this.

Purchased the Bridge Medical Single Grip for my Dad who still lives at home alone. He still gets along very well but I guess it was to make me feel better. I attached it to his Fiberglass Shower Surround about a few months ago and it's holding just as strong as ever.
I tried the cheaper versions first but Dad could pull them right off - I guess you get what you pay for.
I think it difference has to do with the rubber Pads; the Pads on the Bridge Medical are very thick and strong. That must be why they work so much better than the others.
