Changing Lifestyles Safe-er-Grip Bath & Shower Handle
For When You Need A Little Extra Support
Though it is not meant to support full body weight, this grab bar is perfect for users who need an additional grip when stepping in and out of the shower.
The 16.5" Safe-er-Grip Balance Assist Bar is a suction cup device and must be applied to smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces.
It's important to note that the bar will not work on textured surfaces and bathroom tiles must be 4" x 4" or greater for suction cups to properly attach. It also cannot hold full body weight and must be reattached before each use. However, installation is a breeze––just flip the tabs on the handle when you are ready to install and remove and the suction cups will attach to the wall.
This bar is a great option if you are always on the go or are in need of a temporary solution to balance needs when entering or exiting the tub.

- Suction cup attachment– tab levers to attach and remove
- Can be used on bathtub and shower walls

It's important to know exactly what features you will need in a grab bar. Consider the following before making your purchase:
Installation and Location
One of the first things you need to determine is where you want to install your grab bar. Some grab bars can be installed on hollow walls, while others need a flat dry surface to adhere. Consider also the length you will need, and what will fit in your bathroom shower or on your walls.
Many of the grab bars in our review will require some tools to install. Make sure you are equipped with the proper equipment and installation understanding before you make your purchase.
Weight Capacity
Some grab bars will be made to weight bearing, while others are meant just to steady someone. Consider the various weight capacity of each grab bar, and how you plan to use it. If you need it to pull yourself up, it may be worth investing in something with a higher weight capacity.
Finish
There are a couple things to consider regarding finish. First of course, is how the grab bar will look with your existing bathroom decor. If the grab bar will be hidden behind shower curtains, you may not care. However, if it is to be placed next to the toilet or another open area, consider how important the finish of your grab bar will be.
If you will be using your grab bar in the shower, where it will get wet while you are using it, you may want to consider a textured grip. This will help users grab the bar without slipping, in wet conditions.
