Mommy's Helper Safer Grip Foot Rest

I wish this product would have worked for us. I stuck it in the shower at night and by morning it had fallen. I put it back up on the wall, shaved one leg, and it fell off as soon as I started shaving the next leg. I wasn't putting my weight on it. It wouldn't even stick up for a few hours with nobody touching it. I cleaned the tile, used rubbing alcohol, and tried getting the suction cup wet before applying it to the wall. I believe it is because of the type of tile in our shower - travertine. This is a textured tile. If your shower is the average tile or fiberglass, or even glass, this product will probably work well, according to the other reviewers. If you have any texture to the wall/tile, you will have problems. Again, I wish this would have worked. Now I'll have to get a foot rest that will glue or be drilled into the tiled wall.

I had wanted one of these for quite sometime. Bought another brand that didn't stick to the shower wall. This one, however, does the job. It's perfect for the shower stall. Have had no problems with it sticking firmly. It makes shaving a whole lot easier!

I've had this for about 2 weeks and it has stayed fixed on my ceramic tile shower wall without budging a millimeter. I can easily put the weight of my leg on it and probably more, though that is all I need. I was worried when I saw several reviews complaining that it did not stay in place, but mine at least stays very well.

There are a couple of reasons why others might be having trouble. First, the suction cup will only work on a perfectly smooth, non porous surface. Glazed ceramic tiles work great, but only if the tiles are at least 6 inches square. If they are smaller than that, the suction cup won't fit on a single tile, and air will get in along the grout lines. Plastic or glass surfaces should also work so long as they are smooth. If you have textured or bumpy walls, the suction cup will not work as they will not create an air tight seal. Another problem may be that you attached the suction cup when it and the wall were dry. I've found that all suction...Read more
