Shower Caddy
An affordable, easy-to-use shower caddy to organize your everyday bathroom items
Product Description
Touch to Lock
Prior to being mounted, the red rim around the center button of the suction cup is visible. When the suction cup is firmly pressed against the wall, inside air is expelled, a vacuum is created and the red rim is hidden. The suction cup has a firm grip on the surface.
If air ever gets in the vacuum, suction cup’s grip on the surface gradually loosens. The red rim is slowly showing. Simply press the center button of the suction cup to expel air and make it stick on the surface again.
Suction Cup vs Adhesive
Before purchasing a suction system product, the #1 consideration is the wall surfaces on which the suction system will be mounted.
Suction Cup - It works well on non-porous surfaces. It relies on well-prepared, clean, dry surfaces & clean suction to create the vacuum. But suction cups cannot persistently hold up weight on porous surfaces.
Adhesive Mounting Disc - Use adhesives on porous surfaces. Our mounting disc is made of eco-friendly silicon plastic. It is washable & reusable. When completely dry, the mounting disc is soft, sticky and transparent. It sticks to porous wall surfaces to support suction cups. However, adhesive mounting may reduce shower caddy’s weight bearing capacity.

How does a suction cup work?
A suction cup maintains its grip on a surface when inside air is ejected and a vacuum created between the surface and the cup. Smooth, non-textured and non-porous surfaces are not permeable to air. This kind of surfaces allows the vacuum to create and the suction cups to stick to the surface. The strength of the vacuum makes it possible for the suction cup to hold weight.
A suction system product relies on a vacuum seal to adhere to walls and support weight. Mostly it offers a couple of suction cups to support a single shelf or basket.
Pros

The type of the wall surfaces is the main determining factor whether this suction system can stick to the wall and support weight.
