I followed the instructions to the letter. Still, the suction cup would not stay in place. What I am doing wrong? Now my tiles are not quite smooth.

Ours stuck on perfectly and has not come down. Our tiles are very smooth and even, so I think that if you aren't sticking it to an even or smooth surface, it might not work. I would suggest trying some Command double sided waterproof strips and using those to get it to stay up. Here is a pic of the strips I'm talking about ...http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawebserver?mwsId=SSSSSufSevTsZxtUO8_GlxmGevUqevTSevTSevTSeSSSSSS--

I gave it to my daughter for her child. It is on her tub wall. Doesn't fall. Can't really help ya. My daughter lives 6 hours away from me.

I just don't think they will stick to an uneven surface. My tub is totally smooth and it still doesn't stick well to my tub either.

The suction cup is pliable and a little sticky. I think it may sick to a slightly textured surface. My dash is very slightly textured and mat. I hope I've helped.

I have the same issue end up reapplying the suction cups several times ..the whirlpool effect is good for my leg so I deal with it. I've thought of using some putty but not sure I want to apply the thing permanently.

My counter is tile, and the suction cup has worked great, i cant imagine it wouldnt be the same on yours.

I'm not sure why it doesn't work. This is the first one that I have tried that does. I have smooth walls in the shower and was never able to get anything to stick for longer than a month. This one has held since I purchased it. Perhaps the suctions themselves are not good? I also cleaned the surface with alcohol and let it dry completely before putting it on. I also have quite a few things in it and it's not showing any signs at all of loosening.

Try dampening the tile just a little. This might not work. Tile is very porous.

Mine fell a few times also. Make sure both surface and suction cup are super clean and dry. If that still doesn't work - maybe you're overloading it? I found that was my problem. It doesn't hold as much weight as I'd like.

This shower rod looks great but did not work for me. I tried in on a tiled wall and painted surface but it did not stay. Maybe it's an "operator error" but it hasn't worked for me.

I used the suction cups for quite a few years. I suppose replacing them often might help it stick best. You can buy replacements via String by Mail, I couldn't find them on Amazon.

I've had consistent results one after another. Make sure the tiles (if any) are level, and maker sure you're putting your body weight the same way on your feet every time. Leaning forward or backward may change the result.

After retiring, my wife and I set out on a long (5 week) cross country trip. I must have stayed in two dozen motels. From my experience, over half of them had textured shower walls, and this suction cup did not stick. The wall must be as smooth as glass for that to happen.

Not really. I just stuff something in between to increase the friction. It kind of works but still moves once in a while.

maybe, if you can get the suction cups to stick. i can't get them to stay at all

It's easy...... I say that because this thing sticks like glue so the hardest part about moving it is removing it first. Even that is not a huge problem. Re-position it many times and it is still good to go. If it were to stop sticking all you need do is wash the suction cup off as it has likely gotten dusty and dirty.

did not work at all for me, even after i cleaned all surfaces. good price but not worth it, i would stick with something like a suction cup like we use for GPS's. ya know. hope this helps. this was one of the few items that i was not too satisfied with

I just held up a heavy magnet to the base and sides and it did not adhere to either. There was a slight attraction on the sides, but not enough to hold the magnet.

I had the same problem. I read and followed the instructions. I tried them a second time with the same results. I sent a complaint but did not receive an answer.
