I bought this to hang on a towel bar above my bath tub so my bath gel, shampoo, etc., would be in easy reach. Previously, I had suction cup containers on the wall above the bathtub, but the containers kept losing suction and falling down -- usually in the middle of the night! -- and dumping my products into the bathtub. With the UMBRA caddy, I don't have to worry about tumbling products anymore.
