Description

Deep tubs can pose a problem for short people or youngsters, when trying to stand up. Even with non?slip accessories on the bottom, the reach and grip can be difficult, particularly for the elderly. Make your bath and bathroom safer with a bath safety grip handle for the side of the tub. This handy feature allows for a secure grip by any size hand, and is designed to make a comfortable hold for those with arthritis. Provide that extra stability and security that your family needs for their own safety, with this easily mounted handle that detaches and packs away for travel, too. Suction attach, no tools necessary. Fits any tub/shower. 12 inches long. Each suction foot is 3 inches in diameter. Handle is 1 inch wide for easy gripping.

Product meets my expectations. Being used daily. Does exactly as the Mommy Helper Grip. Don not need to buy the 3-set kit unless you need a duplicate size.

works as expected Jul 02, 2010
I purchased this item before I had knee surgery and I found that it works as described in the instructions. It doesn't hold forever but it is easy to re-attached it whenever you see the red indicator.

If you take a second to check that it is secure BEFORE getting into the tub or shower, you should be fine.

I still use it even after my knee finished healing because it is handy.

not as I thought Jun 13, 2010
I Am a little leary of this product, it has already had to be re-set once because it slipped. don't know if i can trust it.

Unsafe Product - Use With Caution Aug 17, 2009
I purchased this product (came as a twin pack), for extra support getting in and out of the shower. I don't really need to put my entire weight on these, just something to steady myself while entering/exiting the tub/shower.

I followed the directions for application/install very carefully. I have a tile shower surround, but the tile pieces are large so grout lines were not a consideration. And the tile is not highly polished, nor is it porous. I cleaned the tile where these were to be installed, and made sure the surface was thoroughly dried. I then cleaned and dried the suction cups of this "safety" grip. One of these grips lasted about 1 hour before the suction cups gave out and it fell into the tub (with an enormous racket!). I re-installed it, going through all the same pre-cleaning/drying setup. This time it lasted 2 days before the suction cups gave loose and the thing fell into the tub. (With the same racket and at 1:00am!) I had installed this on vertically - perhaps a problem?

The second grip I installed horizontally, and followed the same instructions as above. I was shocked when this one lasted for a couple a months. Then, one day, I went to grab it and it moved. Good thing I didn't have my full weight on this, or I could have been badly injured. I remembered the instructions stating the suction cups could loosen over time, and the grips would need to be "re-installed." I followed the same procedure as above (cleaning/drying), and re-installed this grip horizontally. It popped off immediately. Huh. I made sure the entire surface was absolute dry, and re-installed it slightly higher (different spot). It stuck. Good. Until 2:00am when the darn thing fell off the shower tile and clanged in the tub.

If your purpose is to buy this product for some one elderly or infirmed, I cannot recommend it. The suction cups loosen, and there is no warning to the individual using it. I would hate to think what would happen to some one if they grabbed this product while in a slippery shower or tub, have it move suddenly or dislodged entirely, and the person were to fall. Not a pleasant thought.

However, if you need to be awaken (as well as the entire household, including pets) in the early hours of the morning, this might make a great device to get you out of bed with the racket it makes when it falls off the wall!

Seriously, I think this product is just too unsafe to use for its intended purpose.

Use at own risk! Aug 02, 2009
I bought two of these to help my 87-year-old mother navigate along the 10-foot vanity in her bathroom. The surface is flat and highly polished granite. The bars would not hold longer than a few minutes under the best of circumstances. We found this out when she entered OK, but the first bar turned loose on her exit. Time passed? About five minutes. She was NOT supporting her weight, but only using the bars for stability. We checked them both in different places and neither of them would hold securely enough to be trusted. I am considering sending this info to the Consumer Product Safety Commission so that no one(else)will be fooled by that extremely misleading TV ad that shows some goober going up the slanted deck of a boat using these things as steps.
