Not for holding a handheld with the water on
The Portable Shower Arm Safe-er-Grip sticks just fine to my tiled shower, and provides an out-of-the way place to put the handheld when it's not in use. HOWEVER, it is NOT functional if your intent is to put the handheld in the Safe-er-Grip and use it as a fixed showerhead with the water on. The reason for this is that the maximum declination angle is barely 5 degrees. So the water stream will be almost horizontal.<br />Although there is a ball joint connecting the piece that holds the showerhead to the suction cup, it has no stiffness at all. Basically, it will always be at the maximum allowed angle if it is holding anything of any weight. This was relevant to me since I have a corner shower and thought I could get around the angle limitation by mounting it on the side wall rather than the back wall. Unfortunately, while the up/down range is almost non-existent, the ball joint does spin completely side-to-side. What this means is that as soon as you rotate the showerhead a bit to the side, the top heavy nature of the showerhead causes it to topple over.<br />Looking at the picture for this item it shows a a handheld shower with a fairly extreme curvature. It may be that if you have one that curves at a 40 degree angle, you would get around the limitation of the Safe-er-Grip. If you want to test it, put the base of your showerhead against the wall, tilt is out the tiniest bit, and then turn on the water. If it's at an angle that you want to take a shower at, this might be the product for you. Otherwise, the only use for this item is as an out-of-the-way place to put your showerhead when it is not in use (be sure you take it out before you turn on the water).<br />In defense of the Safe-er-Grip, I will say that I did not see the problem other reviews have raised with it not sticking to the shower wall. It sticks great to my tile shower wall (assuming I don't try to span the grout between tiles). In fact I had to work to get it to release its grip even after opening the clamp when I was moving it around. Obviously YMMV with the surface you are trying to stick it to, but it should stick great to a clean, smooth surface.
