I need stability while getting out of the tub. Will this work if it is mounted on the side/top of the tub?

If tub is slick, it should stick, but suction cups are best if you are pulling up on them not to the side. If you use them, you should check they still have good suction before putting weight on them. If you use them on a wall make sure the wall will not pull loose. They make some grippers that have little green spots or red to tell you they are gripping or not. They make clamps that clamp over the side of the tub and are very stable.

I have a fiberglass shower tub one piece unit, I have mine on my left side. It is on the shower unit wall. I do understand what you mean about stability getting in and out. Follow the direction that came with the Super Grip Suction Handle. It is to balance you and not to take the weight. I do not shower without it. Before you get into the tub, make sure it is secured on a smooth surface.

It has to be a completely smooth surface and it will only take a limited amount of pressure. If you are going to pull yourself up you should have regular grab bars installed. This one is meant only to steady one's self.

I think it would be too low mounted on the side of the tub. It's meant to be mounted on a smooth wall surrounding the tub.

I don't know about tubs since I only shower but the vinyl walls of the shower hold the grab bar quite well. I refasten it every time before using it. Only for balance, though.

NO, It is junk... Get the one with the gray tabs, it cost a little more but worth it...

That's where I use mine. It has a safety button on the bottom so if it falls over it shuts off. Still, I wouldn't put it on the tub ledge unless you like to live dangerously.

My tub was actually up against the wall. You may have to put some type of spacer in between the mounts and the wall.

I'm sure it could. The mounts are adjustible with an included tool to tighten it to the edge of the tub. But if your fiberglass tub feels "flimsy" when weight is applied to the product, I wouldn't attach it especially if the person using it is on the heavy side.

I believe it will because it works in my kitchen and in the tub. It is very secure.

I don't know if you are still interested in this product, but to answer your question - yes - that is exactly how I use mine. It is installed on the corner of the tub to the ceiling. I have had set up this way for years and have never had a problem. The tension is perfect. It is easy to clean and has held up well.

No, it has to be installed outside the tub, however there are poles available that has grasp extensions that can be rotated so that it can be reached better

Yes, there is support but it really depends on how high the back of your tub is.

Yes, I'm using it in my tub for my husband. You have to be able to get your legs over the edge of the tub. Make sure it's anchored into the wall securely and it works like a charm!

As I bought this for a friend's daughter, I don't have a lot of first hand experience. That being said, no, it will not even float. The device sinks. However, it does mount well to the lower part of the tub - even the curved sections. It has great "suction" power and should be fine at lower levels of tile too, according to my friend and his wife.

It's pretty stable, but I think it depends on how wide your tub is (how far the metal sides are extended. I'm pretty cautious, so i probably wouldn't put a laptop on it.

it mounts on the tub from bottom corner to the top and continues to the other corner in an U type shape, the opened part of the U facing the bottom (basically a reversed U)... hope this helps

Maybe....as long as the glass is smooth. Not sure if it will work if the glass is bumpy. I have mine on the smooth side of the tub/shower surround. It works great...only had to re-suction it once....using it since June.

The tall one goes on the outside. The suction lock will secure it to the tub. It is a very nice product. I had to send mine back due to my tub being oval. There was no spot for me to get a secure connection. I did buy one by Carex in a very similar style for bariatric weight protection. This Moen is also good for this purpose if your tub is normally styled. Hope this helps.

If you are talking about sliding shower doors in a tub that has an overhead track, yes it will. I would not hang it on the part that moves, however. Hang it over the upper track.

It should. As long as the tub has an even width, it should snug in tightly. If the tub curves,widens in the middle and tapers on both ends, the grab bar should still fit but not as tight as you would like it to, regardless of where on the tub you put it, thus, you wont feel that secure.

The Moen seat does not slip in the tub. It is very stable and allows easy access for those having mobility issues. This design has the wide side over the side of the tub, so the person using the seat must pull the shower curtain around so it is somewhat under their bottom to eliminate water from running on the floor. If this seat were used in an enclosed shower, this would not be a problem. The seat is easily assembled. I have not had the occasion to disassemble it.
