Suction cups don't stick to my tub floor

is it because your tub isn't smooth? (because of anti-slip textures?) if that's the case, the only thing I can think of is that you would need to make a 'semi permanent' suction - in a 100% dry tub and with dry suction cups, apply some GE clear silicone to each of the cups. Just a little. Press the cups to where they need to be and probably let it cure over 24 hours. If you ever want/need to remove the pad, the silicone won't ruin your tub at all and should peel up easily. But meanwhile, the pad should remain securely on the bottom of your bath with the silicone. Also, if you DO have a completely smooth tub, try pushing down the suction cupped areas again once the tub is full of water and you're actually sitting/laying on the mat. Sometimes mine will float up but once I restick them (while being in the tub) they'll stay attached. Lastly, maybe try keeping the motor at a Medium level and not High - that might keep the mat more secure as well... I hope this helps everyone - the mat is really a great thing and it would stink if you can't use it :(

Try a large rubber tub mat with lots of little suction cups on the bottom. The whirlpool's suction cups should stick to the smooth side of that mat.

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.

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.

There's a place for the suction cup to stick to. I love the pad. Every once in a while you need to rinse the bottom off with warm water. I've done 3 times in a year.

I got them to replace a supposedly non-slip mat. The mat would slip if I did not get all the little suction cups down tight. Since that meant leaning over the edge of the tub to press it down, and sometimes losing my balance in the process, I decided on these little guys. They are not quite as rough as the mat was, but they are rough enough that I don't slip on them.

I'm in a rental and didn't want to stick anything to the tub. I use a locking suction cup hook and it holds just fine. Falls down once every 3-4 months but the mirror doesn't seem to mind.

Mine did not come with suction cups. However, they aren't necessary. Mine pretty much stays in place.

Jeff, there are 4 suction cups, the bottom two protrude below the bottom, so it will not stand on its own. I had a brushed stainless steel sink and the suction cups would not stick. I took two clear strips of clear cello tape and stuck it to the sink then attached the cups. It's been a couple of months and they stay on good. Just make sure the cups stay within the tape edges. Hope this helps.

Yes, I do, my mat is new, used only a few times so the suction cups are fine for now. Please, remember, you do not want to sit on this mat as it is the most uncomfortable I have ever used. I cut one end off to ensure safety getting in and out of my early 1900's claw foot tub.

I went to my local hardware store with the suctions cups to compare the diameter. I don't have the old suction cups anymore. Hope this helps.

Nope, because the top edges are not flush flat so you there will be an ugly gap of grounding between the tiles to the tub. You should look for tubs that is for under mount purpose instead.

HI..not sure. BUt suspect you can find extra suction cups at Bed, Bath and Beyond for things like that. I have had mine several months and they still work fo me.

There is not a suction cup. Mine is used in a fish tank and I have to weigh it down.

Yes it comes with suction cups. Although they don't stay attached to my tile well.

The mat has little suction cups on the bottom of it and it secures nicely to my smooth tub. It may not work on a textured surface depending on how textured it is. sorry i could not be more help.

Hi there...I looked long and hard for the suction cups by themselves to no avail. Wound up buying another unit. Good luck!

There is one suction cup on the bottom, but its to hang it up to dry. I suppose you could use it to fasten it to the tub, but once the water is filled in the tub it doesn't move. I've never had an issue with the tub moving in the bath tub. It is a little slippery on the inside bottom isnyour little one is a wiggle worm, but can easily be fixed with a bath mat or tub stickers that are used in a regular bath tub to prevent slipping.

What would be the point of a bath mat, if it didn't have suction cups on the bottom?
